When you are going on holiday, you splash out on a few new outfits or a great set of luggage, don’t you? If you are taking your pet with you, you’ll need to get some fashion pet travel gear for your companion too, won’t you? Fashionable accessories for pet travel range from color co-ordinated safety equipment to cute outfits and more.
If you are travelling by car with your pet, you’ll want a car seat or cargo area cover to protect your car’s upholstery. A car hammock is even better, as it attaches to the back of the front seats, covering the floor area and the back seat. This prevents your pet from slipping onto the floor and injuring itself. A car harness will provide the same safety benefit, and they are available in fashionable prints and color too. In fashion pet travel gear for cars, you probably can’t go wrong with a car booster seat. Padded, plush and comfortable, a booster seat restricts movement while allowing your pet to look out the window.
Air travel is a lot more prescriptive in terms of crates if your pet is travelling in cargo, but the options for in-cabin carriers are much more fashionable. Choose from various colors and fabrics to suit your taste, and make sure you have a matching pet pad to soak up any mishaps.
Once you reach your destination, you’ll want to settle into your hotel, guest house or holiday home. While you unwind and unpack, let your pet play in a portable play pen nearby. These can double as sleeping areas, allowing you to move about freely without worrying about where your pet is. Soft travel gates are handy if you need to restrict access to certain rooms, or keep your pet in a particular room while you go out.
When you’re headed out sight-seeing, make sure you’ve got a purse carrier that matches your other accessories. A pet stroller allows you to walk around the sights without the inconvenience of a lead, and they can be zipped up to keep your pet safe too. Plain, patterned, striped or camo, a stroller is as handy at home as it is on holiday.
Of course, you’ll want a few outfits for your jet-setting pet, and the variety available seems unlimited. Remember to pack for the weather – your pet will feel cold in the snow just like you do. Skirts, shorts, sweaters, hoodies and even sunglasses, not to mention hair accessories, will have your pet travelling in style.
For the more practical travellers, portable water and food bowls with a food travel bag in case your pet’s favorite food isn’t available at your destination qualifies as fashion pet travel gear too – as long as you color co-ordinate them!
