Whether it's for the week-end or the summer holidays, many of us could not imagine leaving our furry friends behind at a boarding kennel or with a pet sitter.
Taking our dogs on holidays with us does create some special memories and also alleviates the worry of not knowing how they will be coping especially if you have a senior or an anxious dog.
There are some great pet travel accessories to keep our dogs both safe and comfortable whilst travelling in the car or at our destination. Here are our top picks of pet travel accessories this year ...
The durable, waterproof top layer provides excellent protection against your dog’s nails while keeping dirt, sand and water off your seats. Two large built-in pockets provide ample storage for travel essentials and a strong mesh ‘window’ keeps you and your dog connected whilst allowing air to flow freely through to the backseat.
With a universal fit, there’s no need to buy several covers to suit multiple cars.
It comes with a Storage Tote Bag making it the perfect present for the dog lover in your life!
RRP: $179.00 at www.pawmanity.com.au
The Solvit Car Cuddler is a combination Pet Bed and Seat Cover for pups on the go.
The Solvit Car Cuddler ensures your dog is comfortable during travel and your car seat protected from loose hair and dirt. It protects your seats and also allows for other back seat passengers.
The Car Cuddler has a soft micro-suede and faux sheepskin exterior and soft polyester filling. If it gets a little dirty, simply throw it in the washing machine!
The single seat size is perfect for a bucket seat or portion of a bench seat and fits pets up to 13 kg.
RRP: $109.99 at www.dogculture.com.au
The ZEEZ® Deluxe Hammock (featured) and Bench Seat Covers are the ultimate covers to use when travelling with your pet and come in a convenient carry bag.
These covers are made from high-quality, colourfast cotton with an inner polyester foam padding which is not only comfortable for your pet to sit on but it will protect your seat from fur, scratches and accidental spills.
Both the Hammock and Bench designs feature a zip down the middle for easier cover removal & washing (plus leaves room for a passenger to also sit in the back), seat belt slits, and securing handles to keep them in place. The Hammock features handy storage pockets, while the Bench has side securing straps to help keep it from sliding.
