The Dog Mom’s Guide to Stress-Free Travel with Your Pup
Let’s be honest: traveling with your dog is part dream, part logistics. From highway rest stops to pet-friendly Airbnbs, a little prep goes a long way—and having gear that’s cute and functional? That’s the real trick.
Whether you're packing up for a long weekend or flying across the country, here’s how to make the trip smoother with a few essentials that savvy dog moms swear by.
1. Choose the Right Harness (It Matters More Than You Think)
A harness isn’t just about walks—it’s your dog’s travel uniform. It needs to be secure, easy to put on at rest stops, and comfortable for long days of exploring.
Dogistry Favorite: Our No-Pull Vest Harness checks all the boxes. Step-in design for quick potty breaks, adjustable for a snug (but comfy!) fit, and it comes in colors cute enough for hotel lobby selfies.
Bonus tip: Order one of our Matching Walking Sets so you're ready for photos and functional travel.
2. Leashes that Work as Hard as You Do
When you’re juggling luggage, coffee, and an excited pup, your leash needs to be strong, comfortable, and easy to clip on.
Travel Must-Have: Our Dogistry Leash pairs perfectly with the harness or collar and features a sturdy clip and a soft handle—ideal for long strolls through new cities or quick bathroom breaks on the go.
3. Collars That Say “I’m Stylish, but Safety First”
Even if your dog’s usually in a harness, a collar is essential for ID tags and backup control.
Recommended: Our Classic Dogistry Collar is sleek, durable, and comfortable enough for all-day wear. (Bonus: it matches our leashes and poop bag holders.)
4. Track Them Anywhere with Our Collar x Fi Option
When you're in a new place, safety is everything. If your pup somehow gets loose, you’ll want real-time GPS tracking.
Smart Travel Pick: Our Dogistry Collar x Fi is designed specifically for the Fi Series 3 and 3+ tracker. Lightweight and secure, it keeps your dog stylish and easy to find—no matter where your travels take you.
5. Poop Happens—Be Prepared in Style
You’ll never forget the bags when they look this good clipped to your leash.
Can’t-Travel-Without: Our Poop Bag Holder is sleek, hands-free, and designed to match your leash + harness set. It clips on securely and won’t bounce around while you walk. Dog mom tested, airport approved.
