ZuHucpts Portable Foldable Pet Playpen/Dog Puppy Pen/Cat Tent cage | Indoor Outdoor Use |

Best Travel Tent

Very light and easy to pack
Great for all types of pets
Comes in a variety of sizes
Easy to clean
Provides shade and comfort no matter where we are. If there are other unknown dogs around or any other unknowns it can be zipped up

We have had this tent for several years now and wouldn’t go anywhere without it! It has become like a little sanctuary, anytime it is set up there is a little piece of home.

One thing to note:
The only issue was that when we received it, it smelled funny, but once we hand washed it, it was fine.

purchase

Best Water Bottle

A water bottle for both you and your human
It is stainless steel and insulated
Large capacity
Also good for hiking
The bowl is what makes this the best, as it means you aren’t having to pack, yet another thing or loosing another thing

We have tried several different water bottles and this one really stands out. We know it seems odd given airport regulations to recommend a water bottle, but once through security you can refill and you’re set with a built in bowl – the bowl simply screws onto the bottom of the bottle.

Best Pet Carrier

Comfortable carry handles
Easy to adjust and comfortable shoulder strap
Both sides expandable, allowing for large space to relax in
Holds it’s form, so can be unzipped and not fall over
Easy to clean

We have tried many different carriers, hard shell, soft shell – this has been the easiest and most versatile.

purchase

Best Hands-Free Leash

We do other things and not worry about being disconnected
Several colours to choose from
Easy to use

We have had regular leashes and they were a pain. We find retractable leashes to be rude and so we found the perfect solution in a hands free leash. We can carry all our luggage and stay connected and make sure we are going to the right place.

purchase

Best Dog Treats

Beef liver is amazing
Single ingredient treats, no additives or preservatives
Because they are dried, easy to transport and not make a mess
Piggy puffs are delicious
A little goes a long way
Lamb lung is so good

Grandpaw’s treats are made from human grade meat that is primarily sourced on Vancouver Island, BC. If they can’t find what they want there – they only get meat from Canada.

purchase

Best Cat Treats

Made from whole sardines
Single ingredient treats, no additives or preservatives
Because they are dehydrated, easy to pack and travel with

Dehydrated Protein Sardines Treat For Cats & Dogs By Granville Island Treatery. These tiny fish are packed with fish oil which is excellent for your furry friends coat and skin – which travel and different climate can reek havoc on.

purchase

Zenply Dog Pee Pads for Puppy Reusable Washable Whelping Liner and Carpet Floor Protection Waterproof Machine Wash Suitable for Octagon Dog Playpen, 29 Inch 2-Pack (Octagon-2PC)

Best Re-Usable Pee Pads

High absorbency
Octagon shape allows it to fit perfectly in the tent
Easy to pack
Easy to clean on the go
Great to get a slightly larger than kennel size for travel

No matter how well trained your animal is, accidents can happen and so we realize that in travelling these are excellent for putting into crates to avoid any big mess.

purchase

Best Poop Bags

The best size options
Incredibly durability, we never rip these bags, which, in extreme temperatures, is a concern for other bags
We’ve used these for dogs as well as for cleaning out litters boxes, keeps the smell in!
Variety of pack sizes
Scented or unscented options
Has dispenser/carrier options

Although there are many brands and types of poop bags out there, these remain the best.

purchase

Best Doggy Diapers

Easy to put on
Doesn’t get caught in fur
Comes in a variety of sizes
Easy to pack

We realize that in travelling sometimes these are a must as they are required on certain flights.

purchase

Best Cat Harness

Easily adjustable
Light weight
Difficult for cat to wiggle out of
Comes in a variety of colours

Cat’s should not wear the same harnesses as dogs as they are designed for different bodies. As well cat harnesses are designed to be more difficult to get out of.

purchase

Sleepypod | Martingale Cat Harness Silver

Pecute Dog Carrier Backpack Expandable, Pet Backpack Carrier for Small Dogs & Cats up to 18 lbs

Best Pet Backpack

Very comfortable to wear
Enough room for your pet to sit down
Folds down flat, making it easy to pack
Expands, making it comfortable for when resting

We realized having a second option for a carrier is very helpful. The backpack style allows for long days of exploring while allowing your pet to rest when needed.
