Packing List When Travelling with a Dog

Planning an adventure with your dog? Whether you’re heading out for a weekend road trip or a week-long safari, travelling with your furry friend requires more than just a leash and some kibble. To keep your pup happy, safe, and comfortable, it’s essential to pack smart.

Here’s the ultimate packing list for travelling with your dog so you can both enjoy the journey without any surprises.

1. Food & Water Supplies

• Josera Dry Food – Pack enough of your dog’s regular food to last the entire trip. Changing diets suddenly can upset their stomach.
• Collapsible Food & Water Bowls – Lightweight and travel-friendly.
• Water Bottle – Always keep fresh water on hand, especially if you’re outdoors or on the road for long hours.
• Treats – For training, comfort, and rewarding good behavior.

Tip: Pre-portion food into daily servings to make feeding on the go easier.

2. Travel & Safety Gear

• Leash & Collar (with ID tag) – Include your name and mobile number.
• Harness – Especially for active dogs or long walks.
• Dog Seatbelt or Travel Crate – For safety in vehicles.
• Blanket or Bed – Something familiar that smells like home to reduce stress.
• Muzzle (if required) – Depending on transport rules or destination policies.

3. Cleaning & Hygiene Essentials

• Poop Bags – Always clean up after your dog.
• Towel – For muddy paws, beach days, or quick clean-ups.
• Wet Wipes or Pet-safe Sanitizer – For wiping down your dog (or your car!).
• Brush or Comb – Especially if your dog sheds or gets dirty easily.

If you’re camping or staying somewhere rural, pack a biodegradable soap and a small bucket for quick washes

4. Health & First Aid

• Vaccination Records – Some lodges or destinations may require them.
• Flea/Tick Prevention – Especially important in grassy or bushy areas.
• Medications – Don’t forget regular meds, if any.
• Basic First Aid Kit – Bandage, antiseptic wipes, tweezers, etc.

5. Comfort & Entertainment

• Favorite Toy or Chew – To keep them occupied and relaxed.
• Treat Puzzle or Slow Feeder – Great for mental stimulation during downtime.
• Dog Coat or Sweater – If you’re travelling to a cold destination.
