Welcome to Pet Travel Gear Spot. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About This Site

Pet Travel Gear Spot publishes reviews, comparisons and how-to guides on the gear that makes car trips with a dog calmer and cleaner: back seat hammocks, dog seatbelts, collapsible travel bowls, travel bags and travel beds. Everything here is written from the point of view of an owner who takes her dog on long drives to see family.

Travel Safety

Never leave a dog in a parked car, even with the windows cracked and even on a mild day. The inside of a closed car heats up far faster than the air outside, and dogs overheat quickly.

Dogs belong in the back seat. A front passenger airbag can seriously injure a dog, and a loose dog in the front can distract the driver. A seat cover or hammock keeps the seat clean, but it is not a restraint by itself.

A tether or seatbelt should clip to a harness, never to a collar, and it should be short enough that the dog cannot reach the front seat or fall into the footwell. There is no single government crash standard for pet restraints, so a product called crash tested may not mean what you assume. Check what was actually tested.

Secure loose bags, bowls and crates. In a sudden stop, unsecured gear can fly forward. Stop every two to three hours so your dog can drink, stretch and relieve itself, and talk to your veterinarian if your dog gets carsick or anxious on drives.
