Travel Accessories for Your Dog


Dogs love to travel and enjoy the great outdoors just as much as we do! This selection of dog travel supplies and dog car accessories will ensure your pooch is both safe and comfortable during these school holidays.

#1. Food & Water on the go


The Snack-Duo with Travel Cup by Popware delivers both water and snacks for your dog when you are both on the go.


Snack-Duo-Popware-Lucky-Pets

It is the first reusable bottle with two side-by-side chambers so you won't have to carry both a food container and water for your dog.

Simply flip open the lid to dispense treats or kibble, then pop open the cap to pour a cool drink of water in the attached collapsible cup (holds 225ml).

This is a great product for road trips but also dog parks, running and hiking. The plastics don't contain any BPA.


RRP: $29.95 at luckypet.com.au

#2.  EzyDog Dog Car Restraint

The EzyDog CLICK Adjustable Dog Car Restraint is effectively a seat belt for dogs. 
EzyDog-Click-Dog-Car-Restraint

Simply attach it to your dog's harness and 'click' the buckle into the seat belt socket and your dog is restrained in your vehicle, preventing driver distraction. It uses the same type of webbing that is used on the seat belt so is tough and strong. 

The CLICK Car Restraint features a Tri Glide Adjustment and it can be used for both small and big dogs. This also means that you can give your dog as much room to move as you wish. We recommend you always connect it to your dog's harness and not your dog's collar for safety reasons.

RRP: $16.95 from petsonthepark.com.au



#3. Ruff Rider Roadie Car Harness


The Ruff Rider Roadie harness has been on the market for nearly 20 years.
It is made of the highest-quality USA-made nylon webbing and has been tested to US human seatbelt standards for tensile strength and is therefore perfect for the larger breeds.  The webbing of the harness goes through the webbing of your car seat belt and does not use any clips to tether your dog into the seatbelt.
The Ruff Rider Roadie harness offers 2 secure and comfortable positions (sit or lie down) to attach your dog to the car seat.
It is pleated under the arm pits to prevent chaffing during long trips. It comes in a range of sizes and the manufacturer’s website provides a handy sizing guide for an exact fit.
