The Ultimate Stylish Dog Travel Checklist (Approved by Dogistry)
👜 1. No-Pull Harness with Secure Fit
A must-have for walk breaks in unfamiliar areas. Our Dogistry Luxe No-Pull Harnesses are comfortable, durable, and prevent escape.
🦮 2. Adjustable Dog Leash
Opt for a leash that adapts to the moment. The Dogistry Secure-in-Place Leash features a padded wraparound handle and built-in buckle — perfect for hands-free moments.
💩 3. Poop Bag Holder (That Doesn't Dangle)
No more annoying swinging bags! The Dogistry Discreet Waste Bag Holder clips securely and keeps things classy.
🎒 4. Travel Carrier or Seatbelt Harness
For car or airplane travel, safety first! Use a crash-tested carrier or a car harness that keeps your pup secure.
🧴 5. Portable Water Bottle and Bowl
Hydration is key. Choose a BPA-free dog water bottle with an integrated bowl or collapsible silicone options.
🍖 6. Treats & Chews
Long trips can be boring for pups too. Bring healthy treats or a chew toy to keep them calm.

Familiar smells = calmer dogs. Choose a rollable, lightweight option.

Store digital or printed copies in case you need them on the go.

Towels, paw wipes, brush, and maybe even a travel-size dog shampoo.

Always ensure your dog’s tags are current. Bonus: add a luggage tag to their gear with your info.
