Before you embark on a road trip with your dog, take time to select the right supplies. There are many dog carriers for cars, and it's important to buy the one that best suits your purposes. A pop-up canine camper is a good choice for pets that travel a lot. It can be used indoors or outdoors, it is easy to assemble and it is made of water-resistant material with mesh window screens. Sturdy kennels are dog travel carriers that are useful for trips that require a more durable form of transportation. They are solid, well-ventilated and feature a strong latching system. While you are shopping for carriers and kennels, be sure to pick out one of our dog collars and leashes for your favorite pet.
Traveling with dogs can be stressful if you are not adequately prepared, but if you plan in advance, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. Use the following checklist as a guide to ensure you have everything you need for your upcoming trip.
- Dog travel carriers: Find the right type of carrier for your needs, depending on if you are traveling by car, airplane or another form of transportation. We sell hard kennels, flexible pop-up tent crates, strollers and hands-free devices for smaller dogs.
- Safety sitters: For long car trips, keep dogs from jumping out or bouncing around the car. Safety sitters are like seatbelts for pets and secure them safely in the vehicle.
- Portable dog food bowls and water bowls: Buy small, light food and water bowls to keep pets well fed and hydrated on your trip. Bring bottled water and extra food to replenish the supply.
- Sheepskin pads: These machine-washable pads are perfect for lining dog carriers for cars or planes, and they keep animals warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Toys: Pack some dog chew toys so that your animal stays entertained during the trip.
You usually need a snack on long trips, and your pet is no different. Be sure to pack lightweight dog food bowls and water bowls for your voyage. We sell both traditional dispensers and automatic food and water containers. For more dog accessories, read the following article.
