Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway or a long road trip with your furry friend, packing the right essentials can make all the difference. A well-prepared pet travel bag ensures your dog stays safe, comfortable, and happy during the entire journey.

To help you get started, we’ve created the ultimate pet travel checklist—plus a few YappyBoo product recommendations to make packing easier than ever.

✔️ Pet Travel Essentials Checklist

  • ✅ Food & Water: Pack enough for the trip, plus a little extra just in case.
  • ✅ Collapsible Bowls: Lightweight and easy to clean—perfect for travel.
  • ✅ Leash & Harness: A must-have for safe walks and potty breaks.
  • ✅ Waste Bags: Don’t get caught without them!
  • ✅ Comfort Item: Bring their favorite blanket or toy to reduce anxiety.
  • ✅ Portable Carrier or Sling: Keeps your pup secure and comfortable on the go.
  • ✅ Health Records & Meds: Especially if crossing borders or flying.
  • ✅ First Aid Kit: Just like for humans—bandages, wipes, tweezers, etc.
  • ✅ Towel or Wipes: For muddy paws, spills, or quick clean-ups.
  • ✅ Digital Food Scoop: Ensure accurate feeding even while away from home.

🧭 Travel Tips for Pet Owners

Here are a few pro tips to make your trip smoother:

  • Take short practice trips to get your dog used to the car or carrier.
  • Feed your pet a few hours before departure—not right before.
  • Stop every 2–3 hours on road trips for bathroom and stretch breaks.
  • Bring calming aids like chews or sprays if your dog has travel anxiety.
