Whether it’s a quick visit to the Vet or a longer adventure; a ten minute trip to town or a long road trip on holiday, travelling safely with your pet is a must. It is a legal requirement to ensure your pet is secure when travelling in the car for both your pet’s and your safety. Here we take a look at various types of travel accessory so you can make an informed decision as to which is the best for you.
Our Must Have Travel Accessories
Car Crate
Slanted crates have been popular for small-medium sized for a while and we have now introduced car crates in larger sizes for dogs up to the size of a Labrador too! The Trixie Friends on Tour crates are premium, sturdy metal crates and come in single and double versions.
Car Seatbelts
A car seatbelt is a great option if you want to travel with your dog in the main part of the car with you. They are ideal for larger dogs who are too big for a car crate. Use in conjunction with a well fitting harness and make sure it isn’t too long; you don’t want your dog to be able to move around too much. The length should be just comfortable enough for them to sit and lay without it pulling.
Small Breed Dog and Cat Carriers
If you have a smaller dog or a cat and are looking for a convenient carrier, there are a number of new additions to our range. We have some super cute, futuristic looking designs in bright contemporary colours - perfect for toy dog breeds and your feline friends! There are also some practical designs from Trixie which will make trips to the vet a breeze!
Feeding on the go
We have some great new accessories from KONG and Mobile Dog Gear that will make feeding and watering your pets on the go super easy. Travel bowls and water cups with pop up bowls can be stored easily in travel bags and used as when needed on longer journeys.
If you’re looking for the ultimate travel set, you will love the new sets from Mobile Dog Gear. The sets come in different sizes and designs, and include everything you need for various types of trip. Great for all the adventuring dogs out there!
However long the journey, whatever the mode of transport, we have it covered. We've highlighted just a few of the newest travel accessories, but there are even more over in the Travel Section of our website.
