Prepare for Pet-Friendly Holiday Travel – 3 Helpful Tips

The holidays are a magical time filled with family, friends, and the joy of travel. But when you're bringing your furry companion along, preparation is key to keeping things merry and stress-free. Here are three must-have products to ensure your pet-friendly travels go off without a hitch!

1. Conquer Messes with Pet Odor & Stain Remover

Let’s face it—accidents happen, especially during busy travel days. That’s where Dogtopia’s Pet Odor & Stain Remover comes to the rescue! This powerful, bio-enzymatic cleaner breaks down odors and eliminates stains on virtually any surface. Whether it’s your car upholstery, hotel carpet, or your pet’s favorite travel blanket, this product handles it all.

  • Why it’s essential: The product is safe for all fabrics, hard surfaces, and pet areas like crates or carpets make it a great product to keep at home and have on the go!
  • How it works: The live enzymes target odor molecules, leaving no trace of those holiday oopsies behind.
  • Travel tip: Just like your toiletries, pack this in a travel-sized spray bottle for quick clean-ups on the road.

2. Travel Safely with Sleepypod Carriers and Harnesses

Pet safety is just as important as our own. Whether you’re flying to grandma’s house or road-tripping to a winter wonderland, ensure you’re transporting your pet in a proper carrier or harness for car and plane travel.

  • For road trips: The Clickit Sport Car Harness offers crash-tested protection with three points of contact to minimize forward and lateral movement during sudden stops or collisions. Its reflective strips improve nighttime visibility, and it even doubles as a walking harness when you’re out exploring.
  • For air travel: The Sleepypod Air Carrier is a game-changer for in-cabin flights. Its adjustable size fits snugly under airline seats during takeoff and landing but expands mid-flight for extra comfort. Tested to child safety standards, it ensures your pet’s security while traveling. Plus, the ultra-plush bedding creates a cozy home-away-from-home.

Bonus: Both products are eligible for Sleepypod's Crash Replacement Program, adding extra peace of mind.

3. Stay Organized with the Dogtopia Travel Bag

Every pet parent knows the struggle of juggling food, toys, bowls, and poop bags during a trip. Use the Dogtopia Dog Food Travel Bag—a stylish and durable carry-on to simplify your packing process.

  • Why it’s a game-changer: It’s airline compliant and fits perfectly under your seat or in the overhead bin.
  • What’s included: A roomy and stylish backpack-style bag, plus two collapsible bowls, food storage compartments, and an easy access poop bag dispenser for ultimate convenience.
  • Travel tip: Use it as a backpack or slide it onto your roller luggage for hands-free ease.

With these three products, you’ll be ready to tackle holiday travel with confidence. So, pack your bags, grab your pet, and make this holiday season one to remember!

Does your pet not like to travel or your destination isn’t pet friendly? Treat your dog to a fun staycation of their own and board your pup at Dogtopia while you’re away. They’ll love playing with other furry friends and interacting with the caring and highly trained team, and you’ll love having peace of mind knowing they are being cared for this holiday season. Plus, you can check in on them using Dogtopia’s live webcams. Find a Dogtopia near you to get started!
