Welcome to Pick Dog Travel Gear. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About This Site

Pick Dog Travel Gear publishes hands-on reviews, comparisons and how-to guides for people who bring their dog along: back seat covers and hammocks, crash-tested car harnesses, portable water bottles and bowls, soft travel carriers for small dogs, and organizer bags that keep the leash, food and paperwork in one place. Everything here is judged on real trips, not on a spec sheet.

Affiliate Disclosure

Travel Safety

Never leave a dog alone in a parked car. On a mild 70 degree day the inside of a car can pass 100 degrees within about twenty minutes, and cracking the windows does very little. Plan stops so the dog comes with you or someone stays with the car running and cooled.

Keep dogs out of the front seat. A deploying airbag can seriously injure or kill a dog, and a loose dog in the cabin becomes a projectile in a sudden stop. Restrain the dog in the back seat with a harness tether or a secured crate, and attach tethers to a harness, never to a collar, which can injure the neck in a crash.

"Crash tested" is not one governed standard for pet products. Some products are certified by an independent group such as the Center for Pet Safety and many are not; read what was actually tested and at what weight. A seat cover or hammock is for cleanliness and comfort, it is not a restraint.

Secure loose gear, crates and bags so they cannot fly forward when you brake. On long drives stop every two to three hours for water, a short walk and a bathroom break, and watch for signs of motion sickness or heat stress such as heavy panting, drooling or lethargy. Ask your veterinarian before travel about sedatives, motion sickness, vaccinations and the health papers airlines or campgrounds may require. This site shares general product experience and is not veterinary advice.
