Dogs that feel secure tend to travel far more calmly. A snug spot, a familiar blanket and a way to stay put on the curves all help your dog relax instead of sliding around the back seat. Good gear isn't just about tidiness, it's about giving your dog a steady, reassuring ride from door to destination.

What to pack for the journey

• Waterproof seat covers and hammocks that shield your upholstery from hair, mud and scratches
• Cargo liners for wagons, SUVs and hatchbacks, with raised sides for extra coverage
• Travel harnesses and seatbelt tethers to help your dog stay put on the move
• Spill-resistant travel bowls and collapsible water bowls for top-ups en route
• Cozy blankets and pads to turn the back seat into a familiar napping spot

Heading off in warmer weather? A car can heat up fast, so plan stops, bring water and never leave your dog inside on a hot day. For longer summer trips it's worth pairing your travel kit with our cooling mats for dogs to help your dog stay comfortable, a comfort aid, not a medical device, so if in doubt, ask your vet.

Pulling it all together is easy. Match a sturdy travel harness with one of our dog harnesses for everyday walks, and keep fresh water on hand with our dog bowls and feeders so your dog stays hydrated wherever the road leads. Everything ships fast from the EU, so you can plan your next adventure without the wait.
