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!    To see all our pet travel accessories, click here.

Dog potty solutions From poop bags to indoor pup-grass, Furry Travelers carries the potty basics as well as the latest products on the market to make living and traveling with your pup clean and easy.  Poop bags, Pup-Head, Susan Lanci Wizzer Belly Band and more!

Furry Travelers is based in Southeast Florida, so while we complain that we are cold, we know we have it so easy compared to the rest of the nation.   Many pet owners think that since their dog has fur, they are warm in any climate.  In extreme cases, however, even the thickest fur coat may not be enough to keep your dog warm.  And for dogs with shorter fur, it is even more important to give them a little extra protection.   To help keep dogs warm this season, we have put many of our winter items including dog coats and dog boots on sale as much as 50% off.  Most items are very easy to put on your dog with Velcro closures.   And for the more glamourous pup, we have Susan Lanci faux fur dog coats!  

It's really important for pet parents to take care of their doggies and kitties teeth. Just like humans, pets also have very sensitive teeth that need a lot of attention and care, even when you're on the go! Single-use toothbrushes make it easy to provide dental care for your pets, especially when you're traveling. Each disposable toothbrush contains a mint-flavored toothpaste that automatically dispenses through the bristles with a push of your thumb. The disposable toothbrush effectively distributes hydrogen peroxide gel that removes tartar build-up and fights bad breath! Now for your next trip, you'll have two toothbrushes not to forget! http://www.furrytravelers.com/m7/3204--disposable-toothbrush-for-your-dog-or-cat.html
