7 Travel Tips for Dog Moms Hitting the Road with Their Pups🧳

🐾 Tip 1: Choose the Right Gear for Safe, Stylish Strolls

First things first—don’t bring the old, fraying harness on your trip. The right walk gear makes travel smoother and more secure.

Enter: the SoHo Harness.
Awarded “Harness Innovation of the Year,” this beauty is perfect for pups under 25 lbs and dog moms who love fashion and function.

Why it's ideal for travel:

  • Step-in design = quick on and off at rest stops or hotels

  • Lightweight + breathable for all-day wear

  • No-pull front D-ring keeps your pup close in busy areas

  • Secure fit with Velcro and buckle closure

  • Pairs with Dogistry’s adjustable leash for ultimate control

👜 Tip 2: Pack a Pup Essentials Bag

Treat your pup like a VIP traveler. That means a dedicated doggy go-bag stocked with:

  • Travel bowls (collapsible ones save space)

  • Extra leash and harness (just in case!)

  • Waste bags

  • Wipes or paw cleaner

  • Vaccination records

  • Treats and food

  • Small toy or chew

  • Portable water bottle

Pro tip: Use packing cubes or a pouch system for easy access when you’re on the go.


🛏️ Tip 3: Book Pet-Friendly Lodging Ahead

Not all hotels love dogs—but many now do if you book the right way. Use filters on booking sites like Airbnb or Hotels.com and look for:

  • No-size-restriction listings

  • Places near parks or pet-friendly cafes

  • Clear pet policies (ask about fees!)

Then leave a review to help other dog moms down the line 🐶


🚗 Tip 4: Prioritize Car Safety

Traveling by car? Your pup needs a secure spot—just like a child would.

Your options:

  • Travel crate secured in the backseat or trunk

  • Dog car seat (great for toy breeds)

  • Harness-compatible seatbelt attachment

  • Backseat hammock with harness tether

For safety and control once you arrive, keep your SoHo Harness clipped in and ready to go.


🧘♀️ Tip 5: Keep Their Routine (Kind of)

Dogs thrive on routine, so even while traveling:

  • Feed at the usual times

  • Take morning and evening walks

  • Keep familiar items nearby (like their favorite blanket or toy)

  • Offer plenty of breaks for potty and sniffing sessions

Even small things—like using their regular harness—can help your dog stay grounded in new environments.


🐕 Tip 6: Prep for Busy Sidewalks and Public Spaces

Whether you’re in a new city or your favorite seaside town, there are bound to be crowds, loud noises, and distractions.

Here's how to walk with confidence:

  • Use the SoHo Harness’s no-pull front clip for better control

  • Keep a short, adjustable leash for tight spaces

  • Avoid retractable leashes in high-traffic areas

  • Use verbal cues and reward calm behavior

Bonus points if your harness + leash set matches your vacation outfit 💁♀️

📸 Tip 7: Capture the Memories (Fashionably)

Let’s be real: half the fun of traveling with your pup is showing off your adventures. So don’t forget to:

  • Pack your matching walk set

  • Choose walk-friendly outfits in similar tones

  • Snap golden hour pics outside your hotel, at the beach, or during walks

  • Use commands like “sit” and “watch me” for easy poses

  • Tag @Dogistry and use #DogMomOnTheGo for a chance to be featured!


💕 Final Thoughts: Where You Go, They Go (In Style)

Traveling with your dog doesn’t have to be messy, stressful, or chaotic. With the right gear—like Dogistry’s SoHo Harness and adjustable leash—you’re setting yourself up for smooth walks, comfy car rides, and stylish sidewalk struts.

Because dog moms deserve gear that works and looks good on the road.
