What are the best dog car accessories?
Do you want your trip with your pet, whether by plane, car, or train, to go without complications? Ensure your crate is properly equipped because a blanket for your pooch to lie on is not enough. Here is a breakdown of essential Dog travel gear:
| Accessory | Blanket, towel, or mat |
|---|---|
| What is it useful for? | The basis of canine comfort! A blanket provides warmth and a familiar scent, calming the dog during the journey and offering a taste of home. |
| Accessory | |
| What is it useful for? | Usually silicone and collapsible, these are very convenient and let you feed your dog on the go. |
| Accessory | Water dispensers and bottles |
| What is it useful for? | Access to fresh water is hugely important during travel. To avoid flooding the crate, it is worth having special water bottles or dispensers. |
| Accessory | |
| What is it useful for? | For stress, motion sickness, or a longer drive/flight without the possibility of a toilet break, it is worth having a Plan B. |

Must-have dog travel accessories for the car
Dog car accessories will improve your pet's well-being on the journey. From experience, we know that guardians often do not want to overdo the number of add-ons, and rightly so! Five toys and two bowls will only unnecessarily stress the dog. So, what should you really pack?
- One favourite soft toy and a regularly replenished water source are definitely useful.
- A blanket hardly needs mentioning—everyone intuitively knows that a dog will be much more comfortable on something soft and cosy that reminds them of home.
- Hygienic pads are often overlooked, but are truly important dog travel essentials.
- Comfortable harness or collar: Ensure it does not dig into the skin while driving (check if the harness is comfortable under the armpits).
Whether you are using a metal dog crate or a lighter soft dog crate, comfort is key.

Should there be pads in the dog car carrier?
If your dog has incontinence issues in stressful situations, or if you know the journey will be long, place pads in the dog carrier. Some pet parents prefer to put a special nappy on the pooch that fits their anatomy, this is, of course, an equally good idea. If you are hesitating between these 2 solutions, choose the one that is better for your dog - after all, you know them best.

How to keep your dog hydrated on the go?
Heading out on a longer route? Will it be quite warm in the car or train? One of the most basic needs is access to fresh water. You have a few options for your dog travel kit:
- Silicone bowl: Collapsible and preferably high-sided to prevent water from spilling easily. When the dog finishes drinking, the bowl can be folded flat.
- Bottle with a bowl: Similar to the thermos flasks we know well, but with a lid shaped like a cup, adapted to canine needs.
- Travel bottle with a fold-out trough: When the dog is not drinking, the trough folds over the bottle, saving space.
