Premium Car Accessories for Fog Travel

For many dog owners, car travel is the most common way to explore new destinations with their furry companions.  However, ensuring your dog is safe and comfortable during car rides is crucial. Here are some must-have car accessories for dog travel:

​

• Car Seat Cover:  Protect your car's upholstery from muddy paws, spilled water, and loose fur with a waterproof, machine-washable car seat cover.  Look for covers with features like hammock styles to keep your pup contained,  anchoring straps to prevent slippage, and bolstered sides for added security during turns. (We offer a fantastic Waterproof Dog Car Seat Cover Protection right here at Dog is Lyfe!)
   

• Dog Harnesses and Seat Belts: Ditch the traditional leash!  For safety reasons,  a properly fitted dog harness combined with a car seat belt specifically designed for dogs is the best way to restrain your furry friend during travel. Harnesses distribute pressure evenly in case of sudden stops, while seatbelts prevent them from becoming projectiles or injuring themselves.
   

• Travel Crates and Carriers:  For smaller dogs, a secure and comfortable travel crate provides a safe haven during car rides.  Look for crates that meet airline regulations if you plan on flying with your dog.  Larger dogs may benefit from a sturdy carrier that allows them to stand or lie down comfortably.
   

• Portable Water Bottle and Food Containers:  Staying hydrated is essential for dogs, especially during car rides. Invest in a travel water bottle specifically designed for dogs, with a built-in bowl for easy access.  Similarly, opt for airtight food containers to keep kibble fresh and prevent spills.
   

• Cooling Mats and Vests:  Does your dog get hot easily?  A pressure-activated cooling mat placed in their travel crate or carrier can help regulate their body temperature.  Cooling vests are another option for added comfort during hot weather travel.
   

• Window Shades and Sun Barriers:  Protect your dog from excessive sun exposure while traveling by using window shades or sun barriers that attach easily to car windows.

Gearing Up for Other Travel Adventures
 

While car travel is popular, some journeys call for alternative modes of transportation. At Dog is Lyfe, we are currently planning to launch more innovative pet travel accessories for cars and other travel modes to ensure your furry friend travels comfortably, no matter where the adventure takes you. Keep checking our website for new launches like:
 

• Airline-Approved Carriers:  If you're flying with your dog, a carrier that meets airline size and weight restrictions is essential. Choose a carrier with good ventilation, comfortable padding, and easy access points for feeding and cleaning.
   

• Waste Disposal Bags and Scoops:  Being a responsible pet parent doesn't stop on vacation!  Pack plenty of biodegradable waste disposal bags and a portable poop scoop to keep your travel destination clean.
   

• Identification Tags and Microchipping:  Ensure your dog is wearing a collar with ID tags that include your contact information and emergency numbers.  Microchipping provides an additional layer of security in case your dog gets lost while traveling.
