Cookie and I just got back from the AKC Dog Show in Atlanta. It has been a few months since we traveled together and it reminded me how important it is to have proper pet travel accessories. These are some of our favorites:
Safety First!
The Kurgo Skybox Booster Seat keeps smaller dogs safely buckled, while allowing them to see out the window - something a simple safety harness can make difficult.
The Skybox adjusts to any height and holds up to 30 pounds. I often put both of our dogs in it! You simply strap them to their own harness, or a safety harness. When it is not in use, just unclasp the seat strap and flip it over the head rest. It is lightweight and collapses to just a few inches when not in use.
Note:
All dogs should be safely buckled up, just like you and the rest of your family. There are many styles of safety harnesses to choose from at many price ranges. You might be surprised to find how quickly your dog adjusts to a safety harness. Even the most active dogs can feel more secure when they are restrained in the car. And everyone will be safer in case of a sudden stop or accident.
The To Go Bowl by Furry Travelers is a must have travel accessory for all road trips. Cookie was able to drink whenever she wanted without having to stop the car or worry about splashing. We also used the bowl in our hotel and at the dog show by removing the cup portion (which of course carried her treats).
The patented, award winning To Go Bowl fits cup holders between 3 - 4 inches and can be used for dogs of all sizes.
We never take a trip without Cookie's own bag, the EBD Carry All Travel Bag. This bag is the greatest! It has so many interior pockets that staying organized is a piece of cake. Cookie had to look her best while working at the dog show, so we had pockets for her hair brush, dental spray, tear wipes, extra harness and leash, a coat (it was cold there!) and still had room for some of my own things. The EBD Carry All Bag even comes with its own fleece blanket.
NEW FAVORITE: I picked up the Kurgo Quantum Leash at the trade show this month. It is a leash that can be used 6 different ways (see details)! I didn't really see a benefit to using this type of leash, especially for a small dog like Cookie. While setting up our booth at the show, I thought I would give it a try. Cookie likes to be with me all the time, especially when in a new environment. I often keep her in her Susan Lanci Travel Sling, but she can still be in the way and gets kind of heavy after a while. Anyway, I hooked the Quantum Leash to her harness and hooked it across my shoulder. What a problem solver! She was with me everywhere I went, without me having to carry her.
Finally, the big seller of the show and perhaps my all time favorite product (next to the To Go Bowl, of course), is the Susan Lanci Travel Sling. Cookie "hung around" all day, every day at the show and really started a trend with the other small dog owners in Atlanta. The sling is ideal for smaller dogs (under 10 pounds) and comfortable for both you and your pup. It is lightweight, breathable, and folds up so small you can keep it in your pocket or purse!
Traveling with your dog can be fun and easy! There are many, many great travel accessories for pets. Furry Travelers goal is to carry the newest and most unique pet travel products on the market. We are constantly adding great new items, so check our website often!

If you and your dog are very active, then having the perfect leash is crucial! The Kurgo Quantum Leash encompasses everything you are looking for in a dog walking restraint. This is a great product for owners with bigger dogs, who tend to be very active. Sometimes leashes can be hard to grip and hold on to when your pup gets overly excited, the Kurgo Quantum Leash has a floating padded handle which provides its walker with the utmost comfort and support in every configuration. With a 6 foot long lead to a shoulder or waist leash, you are able to give your dog lots of room to trot, or keep them close when necessary! After using the Kurgo Quantum Leash you will never want to use a regular dog leash again!

There are many back seat hammocks, but in my opinion, the Kurgo Back Seat Hammocks are by far the best on the market.
Made of durable, washable, waterproof canvas, this hammock fits most back seats by attaching around your head rests. It is a great and easy way to keep your seats free of dirt and damage.
Unlike most other hammocks, the Kurgo Back Seat Hammock can also accomodate a passenger as well as a car seat, along with your dog. Just unzip the the zipper in the middle of the hammock and you have legroom! And of course, there are openings for your seat belt and dog's safety harness.
While we do recommend you buckle up your pet for safety, in the event you do not, the hammock can prevent your dog from sliding off the seat onto the floor and possibly being injured by a sudden stop.
The Back Seat Hammock is available in Khaki or Black and comes with its own carrying case and water bottle.
Retail price $59.99. Buy here!

Many of us will be taking our furry ones on road trips this Thanksgiving. Here are some ideas for vehicle accessories that make traveling with pets easier.
It is so important to keep your pet's safety in mind while on the road. While many like to have them on their lap or see them enjoying the breeze in their face, this can be very dangerous in the event of an abrupt stop or accident.
To keep your pet secure, we recommend a safety harness or, for smaller dogs, a booster seat with a tether to attach to their harness. Some pet carriers such as the Sleepypod can be secured in place with your car's seat belt. These items will prevent your pooch from jumping around the car and keep them in place in the event of a sudden stop.
Car seat covers and hammocks are a worthwhile investment as they protect seats from water, snow and muddy paws. They come in a variety of sizes, colors and styles and are very easy to install.
Proper hydration while on the road is important to your dog's health and comfort. The To Go Bowl is a water bowl that is designed to fit into a car's cup holder - in the front or back seat - and allows your dog to drink whenever he wants without stopping the car.
Stay organized by using a seat back organizer or cargo organizer for your pet's toys, leashes, treats, etc.
If your dog gets anxious in the car, try a calming remedy or anxiety wrap. We have heard from many happy customers, including one of our own Furry Travelers, that they really do work!
Just for fun, you can personalize your vehicle with a cute magnet or license plate cover.

Wishing you and your Furry Travelers safe travels!

January 2nd is National Pet Travel Safety Day, founded by Pet Lifestyle Expert, Animal Advocate and former Paramedic, Colleen Paige to highlight the dangers of unsecured pets in vehicles and educate the public about how to make vehicle travel safer for people and the pets they love.
Driver distraction is the number one cause of car accidents, and an unrestrained pet can easily be a distraction which could cause an unfortunate accident. Even an abrupt stop can cause serious injury to your pet.
We don't think twice when it comes to buckling up for safety for adults or children, but do we remember our furry family members? An unrestrained pet can be seriously injured in the event of even a minor accident. A 60-pound unrestrained dog becomes a 2,700 pound projectile at just 35 mph. An unrestrained pet can also cause a driving distraction that poses a danger to the driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road, as well as to bystanders.
There are many different types and styles of safety harnesses for dogs of all sizes to make it an easy step to take to keep everyone safe. After a few uses, it will become habit where you don't even have to think about it. You will also find your trips to be more enjoyable, knowing everyone is safe and having fewer distractions.
In addition to safety harnesses, dog booster seats and dog crates are additional ways to keep your pet safe and secure while traveling.
So make a commitment to keeping everyone safe on the road by ensuring that every traveler is buckled up, even your Furry Travelers.
Safe Travels!
