Packing for Pets: Essential Travel Gear for Your Furry Companions

As the weather warms up and the travel bug bites, many pet owners are eager to hit the road with their furry friends in tow. Whether you're planning a cross-country road trip or a flight to your next destination, it's crucial to ensure your pets' comfort and safety during the journey.

Secure and Comfortable Carriers

One of the most important pieces of pet travel gear is a reliable carrier. Look for carriers that are well-ventilated, easy to clean, and designed to keep your pet secure and comfortable during transport. We recommend the Sleepypod Air In-Cabin Pet Carrier, which meets airline requirements and features a plush interior and adjustable straps for a customized fit.

Portable Water and Food Bowls

Staying hydrated and well-fed is essential for pets on the go. Pack a collapsible water bowl, like the Ruffwear Quencher Cinch Top, and a lightweight, spill-proof food bowl, such as the Dexas MicroBite Travel Cup, to ensure your furry friend can enjoy meals and refreshments during your travels.

Calming Supplements and Anxiety Aids

For pets that experience travel-related stress or anxiety, consider packing calming supplements or anxiety-reducing products. The Adaptil Calming Collar releases pheromones to help soothe your pet, while the ThunderShirt Anxiety Wrap applies gentle pressure to have a calming effect.

Grooming and Clean-Up Essentials

Unexpected messes can happen, so be prepared with pet-safe grooming and cleaning supplies. Tuck a pack of Petkin Grooming Wipes and a roll of Earth Rated Poop Bags into your travel kit to keep your pet (and your car) fresh and clean.

Identification and Medical Records

Before hitting the road, make sure your pet's identification tags are up-to-date, and pack a copy of their medical records in case of an emergency. The PetHub Smart ID Tag allows you to store your pet's information digitally, making it easy to access if needed.
