Helpful Products for Traveling with Dogs
Traveling with dogs can be a challenge. One dog is usually no problem, but we plan to drive with all three soon, and we are a little nervous about it. This post is sponsored, but all opinions are my own.
Only one of our three dogs is good in the car – The Grump – and, even he gets carsick if we go too far. Hilo, our German Shepherd, is big and awkward in the car, plus he gets nervous. Franklin, well… our little Franklin is in his own category.
He usually releases all possible bodily functions as soon as the vehicle starts moving. So, needless to say, we are a bit uneasy about our planned trip to my sister-in-law’s house for a holiday party.
Helpful Products for Traveling with Dogs
RPG Innovations, which includes Bags On Board, OUT! Pet Care, Simple Solution, and Vet’s Best brands,
provides quality pet care products. We received an amazing Travel Bundle,which will help us on our adventure(s).
The Travel Bundle includes:
Washable Training & Travel Pad from Simple Solution – This package contains two large pads that have many uses. In our case, I will put one down in the car right away. The other one I will use at my sister-in-law’s house. She has a dog, as well, so we are hoping none of the dogs feel the need to mark their territory. The pads are washable and leak-proof.
Diapers from Simple Solution – Diapers are just what our Franklin needs. There are times when the wind will scare him too much to go potty outside. He’s peed in our bed, on the couch, and pretty much everywhere. He will be diapered on this trip no doubt. These diapers are breathable, have fur-friendly fasteners, and a spot for tail freedom. They seem to calm Franklin a bit, too. I think the wrapping feels a little like a hug.
Urine Remover from OUT! – Specially designed formula to break down urine and neutralize odors instead of just masking them. Not only do we need this desperately in our house, but we will bring it with us in case of any accidents.
Travel Calm from Vet’s Best – Chewable tablets that contain valerian root and ginger. This will help ease our pets’ anxiety and settle their stomachs. It will also be useful for fireworks and thunderstorms.
Waterless Dog Bath from Vet’s Best – Contains aloe vera and neem oil to gently clean and condition your dog’s coat with no rinsing needed. Great for on-the-go freshening up, or to replace a few baths now that it’s freezing outside.
Waste Pick-Up Dispenser and Refill Bags from Bags on Board – We use these all the time for walks or boat trips. It’s never cool to drop doggy bombs and run. You must pick up after your furry friends. My sister-in-law will be glad we have these when our three doggies find her backyard. 😉
I am so happy to have all of these products, not just for travel, but for all the time. They also have other bundles for dogs including, Ultimate Dog Bundle, New Puppy Bundle, Cold Weather Bundle, Spa Bundle, Travel Bundle (mentioned above), Active Bundle, and Ultimate Cat Bundle.
Any of these bundles, or even just the products on their own, would make great gifts for pet owners. Each one of these brands has helpful products for pet owners at any stage.
Do you have any tips for traveling with dogs?
Have you talked to your vet about giving the dogs some sort of anti-anxiety meds for long car trips? Otherwise, your diaper and clean solutions sound like a great plan. I’m really lucky as my dog, Nellie. LOVES going for car rides. She’ll stand on the center console and “navigate.” We were told by her foster family (she’s a rescued dog) that she was a good copilot and now we know why. We do keep her in a harness so she doesn’t go flying in case of sudden stops though. Good luck!
Actually, yes… Franklin is now on Prozac since the vet highly recommended it. He’s a foster/rescue, too, so he definitely has some anxiety and additional fears. He hasn’t been in the car since he started it, so we are hoping it improves. That’s so cute that yours acts as copilot! 😉
Diapers are a must for our Milo, too! He gets all out of whack when we change his routine and he pees anywhere and everywhere when he’s off.
We always seem to forget to bring waste bags when we travel. I really need to keep some in my suitcase pocket. Thanks for the great tips!
we dont really travel with our pets. the only time they go in the car is if they have a vet appt actually. But definitely being prepared and having all of your pets favorite treats, toys, and things to protect the car would be the #1 thought in my mind.
My parents could use these products. They are planning on driving a 12 hour trip with our dogs and I know my dogs only do so well in the car for a certain amount of time. There are sure to be some accidents, even with stopping frequently to let them out.
I have a friend that just adopted a dog and they will be taking him everywhere with them. Perfect gift right here!
I love this idea!! If you haven’t traveled with dogs before it can be hard to anticipate everything that you will or may need for them.
I’ve never traveled with my dogs, but I think this is fabulous. I wouldn’t even know how to travel with them so your tips are great. I couldn’t leave them behind!
What an awesome travel bundle. I have two dogs and this would be so helpful when we travel. Thanks for the ideas!
My dog was really good with car rides. He was happy in his carrier as long as we stopped every hour or so to let him pee. We used to have to travel three hours to see my Parents so he was used to the car.
These are great product to have for travelling with dogs. I like the reusable pad. I will have to pick up one of those.
These are all great product for dogs. My family and I used to travel together with our dogs, and this products will be very useful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Those will definitely be helpful on trips. I think they’d be useful to keep around all year though just in case!
My mother in law travels from Fl. to Tn several times a year with her 3 dogs. These items would make a great gift for her!
We used to travel with a dog and you really have to be incredibly prepared for it! But it can ultimately be rewarding!
Aww you had me from the second I saw the photo of your sweet boxer riding in the car. Our boxer passed away years ago but I’ll never forget how he LOVED riding in the car with us and often went on vacation with us because he was such a great traveler.
I have a family member who regularly travels with her dogs. She’s been doing it for years so she pretty much knows what to expect by this point, and I know she would appreciate a travel bundle like this!
Oh my goodness, what great ideas. We are thinking of taking our dogs with us when we travel for spring break and I had no idea all the things I would need. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter has 2 dogs and they do travel with them a good bit. I think the travel pads are a good idea.
I have never brought my dog with me on a trip. I am not even sure she likes car rides to the vet lol!
Travel Calm is an awesome product! My mastiff would freak out on long car rides and on a trip from Maryland to Michigan the last thing I needed was a 160 pound dog spazzing out in the back seat. Travel Calm helped him stay relaxed in the backseat the entire trip.
Our dog does quite well in the car. Oddly of all the dogs we have been owned by he is one of the few who dont hang his head out, he doesnt care for it. We are lucky he loves the car but heaven forbid when we pull into the vets you would think he is being tortured (he isnt). He is a big baby.
