Dog Leashes
Traveling anywhere requires a sturdy and safety-tested leash. It may seem obvious, but some dog owners I've spoken to forget to pack a durable leash or wish they would have brought a longer leash for playing in new unfamiliar areas.
Poop Bags
I always almost forget these when traveling with my pup but they are so essential! You'll also want to buy a bag carrier that easily clips onto your leash so you never forget.
Travel Bowls
A portable water bowl is so essential in keeping your dog hydrated on-the-go. Collapsible bowls can be used for feeding dogs as well.
Travel Crate
Safety first! Most dog owners I speak to (myself included) crate their dog when traveling for safety reasons. It helps keep the car clean as well!

Dog Toys
No trip with your dog would be fun without a game of fetch or tug-of-war! Having a great quality toy will not only be fun but will keep your dog stimulated and busy.
Dog Treats
Dog treats are great to have to reward your dog's good behavior and can be used for emergency recall situations as well.
Dog Bed
Having a comfy dog bed is ideal in any situation, especially when you aren't at home. Your dog will feel safe and comfortable even in new places.
Flea/Tick Spray
Flea and Tick spray is always good to have if you're spending a lot of time outdoors.
Activity Tracking Collar
For many dog owners, having a tracking device on their dog while traveling can provide peace of mind.
Anxiety Jackets
Luckily my dogs have never been nervous while traveling, but for those who get a bit scared, calming vests can be a great way to relieve stress.
Vehicle Ramp
Ramps make getting in and out of the car easier on dog's joints, especially for young puppies and senior dogs.
Pet Carrier
If your dog is old or gets tired easily when hiking or walking, having a dog carrier backpack is a great option. For bigger dogs, collapsible wagons or strollers are options.
