I grouped them as they appear on the checklist below. ![]() So here are some of the key products we bring with us when we travel and stay in hotels, Airbnbs, vacation cabins, or other accommodations with a roof over our head. However, because I travel with my dogs so much, I love testing out the latest and greatest products, and I have really high standards, people are often interested in what we use ourselves.

I Don’t Have That Much Room to Bring it All! The dog blankets, crate, and crate pad/bed don’t make it inside a bag either. The cleaning supplies and most of what is on the rest of the checklist goes inside a dog travel bag.įor example, the portable dog crate, if I bring it, just gets shoved somewhere in my car. Keeping your dog travel essentials in a bag is not possible for some of the bigger items but storing them in the same area of the house will help you pack quicker when it’s time to go.

To make taking a vacation with my dogs easier, and to make sure I don’t forget anything, I created this pet travel checklist for when I stay in a roofed accommodation like Airbnb or hotel (we also camp, road trip, backpack, and overland and I’ll be working on lists for those two). So much that I’ve been able to refine my list of dog travel essentials over time and for different scenarios.
