Travel Gear
Gear that's actually earned its spot in the carrier
Everything here has traveled with Tishka. Some links are affiliate links — see our disclosure for details.
Dog Travel Backpack
We've been taking this dog backpack everywhere with us for two years. It's sturdy, well-ventilated and super comfy for Tishka to curl up and sleep inside. We love how it can be folded up flat and also extended out so your pet can lay down completely.
Collapsible Travel Water Bowl
We use these collapsible silicone food and water bowls all the time. They hook onto Tishka's backpack with a carabiner so they never get lost.
Dog Bike Basket
Bikes are our main form of transport and our dog loves riding with us in this little bike basket. It's light but sturdy and easily clips on and off your bike.
Dog Travel Carrier
If you're flying with your dog in the cabin, you have to think of airline requirements as well as comfort. The most important lesson we've learned is that the carrier material should be flexible (not hard plastic) so you can slide it under the seat in front of you, even if the seat is shorter than expected. Some airlines will only accept carriers that are tall enough for your dog to sit up in. They also check for ample ventilation on all sides. Always read the fine print for your airline!
Microfiber Travel Towel
Packing light? Microfiber towels make for conveniently compact dog travel blankets and beach towels. Throw one in your carrier to make trips cozy.
Paw Balm
We always bring Tishka's paw balm with us on trips where we know he'll do a lot of walking so his little paws will stay soft and hydrated.
