Dogs are beloved members of many households, and pet owners frequently take them on long car trips with them. Give your pup an easy-access seat while protecting both yourself and the car with a protective cover for either the back seat or cargo area.
Small dogs can enjoy the ride in style in a booster seat designed like a basket that lifts them up for better window viewing. Plus, this seat comes equipped with its own safety harness and folds away easily for storage purposes!
Seat Belts and Harnesses
No matter where your journey may lead you, it is essential that your pet travels comfortably and securely. While it may be tempting for them to sit up front with you, this could put them at risk in case of an accident; using a harness or seat belt helps them feel secure while still enjoying the view out the window.
Other car accessories include seat covers and mats to protect them from dirt, debris and pet hair. Some are even equipped with shock absorption to absorb bumpy roads more comfortably.
Booster seats help smaller dogs remain safe and comfortable on long drives.

Crates and Travel Carrier
Crates and carriers are great ways to keep your pet calm and secure on long trips, enabling both of you to focus on driving without being distracted by wandering pets. Crates work best for longer drives while travel carriers work better when heading off for shorter visits like vet appointments or dog parks.

Collars and Leashes
Keep your pet leashed and secured while driving to prevent them from distracting you, jumping onto passengers, or exiting during stops. Leash-tying also serves as a safety measure should there be an unexpected slam on the brakes or crash in which they could become dislodged from the car.
Your pet deserves nothing less than the highest-grade collar and leash combination for optimal safety and control. Look for sturdy nylon or leather collars featuring an easily operable side release buckle, while leashes should be long enough to remain manageable without jeopardizing their safety or your ability to keep them close.
An essential item to have on hand when traveling with pets, in case of minor accidents or illness is a basic first-aid kit. These lightweight kits can easily attach themselves to leashes or luggage for quick access.
Water Dishes
Your pup deserves comfortable, safe accommodations in your car when making trips to the vet or long road trips – that’s why there are a variety of dog car accessories designed to make travel simpler, more fun, and less stressful for both them and you!
Traveling pet water bottles are ideal for long car journeys because they’re simple to use and store easily in your trunk. Simply fill it up before setting out on your journey, using it whenever necessary during pit stops or while on the road.
As part of any trip, a first aid kit for dogs and cats should also be a must-have. Just keep basic supplies like bandages and styptic powder handy; blankets can help your pet remain warm should temperatures begin dropping during long drives or they need shelter from rain at rest stops.
