Traveling with Your Dog: Smart Gear for Home & Away

Traveling with your dog can be one of the most rewarding experiences—longer walks in new places, cozy hotel snuggles, and the joy of having your best friend along for the adventure. But it also comes with a unique set of challenges: how to keep your pup comfortable, consistent, and calm while away from home.

With the right dog travel accessories, you can make every journey smooth, safe, and enjoyable. Here are the must-have travel essentials from KindTail that help you stay organized and your dog stay happy—no matter where the road leads.

1. The PAWD® Collapsible Crate: Your Travel-Anywhere Home Base

A reliable crate is one of the most important items when you travel with dogs. It keeps them safe in new environments, gives them a familiar resting place, and helps maintain routines—essential for reducing stress.

The KindTail PAWD® Modern Collapsible Crate is especially travel-friendly because:

• It folds down flat in seconds
  

• It’s lightweight and easy to carry
  

• It’s made from durable, pet-safe materials
  

• It blends seamlessly into hotel rooms, guest homes, or vacation rentals
  
  

Whether you’re staying overnight at a friend’s house or exploring a new state park, the PAWD® makes it simple to set up a comfortable dog-friendly space instantly.

2. PAWD® Crate Pad: Comfort on the Go

No travel crate setup is complete without a cozy surface for your dog to rest on. The KindTail Crate Pad is designed to fit perfectly inside the PAWD®—and even better, it fits inside the crate while the crate is folded up.

This means:

• No juggling extra bedding
  

• No bulky mats to carry
  

• One neatly packed, ready-to-go crate kit
  
  

You get an all-in-one system that’s simple, streamlined, and ideal for pups who appreciate a soft, familiar place to nap after a long day of exploring.

3. Nomad Nap Mat: A Bed That Goes Everywhere

When you travel with dogs, having a portable bed option is a game changer. The Nomad Nap Mat provides an easy, packable, and comfortable resting spot for your pup anywhere—airport floors, the back seat, a friend’s living room, or a campsite.

It’s lightweight, foldable, and easy to clean, making it perfect for:

• Road trips
  

• Outdoor adventures
  

• Hotel stays
  

• Restaurant patios
  
  

Your dog gets a sense of consistency, and you get the peace of mind knowing they won’t be lying on cold, unfamiliar surfaces.

4. Portabowl Set: Hydration & Meals Made Easy

Food and water breaks on the go can get messy—but not when you’ve packed the Portabowl Set. These portable pet bowls are designed for quick, convenient stops wherever adventure takes you.

They’re perfect for:

• Long hikes
  

• Rest-stop meals
  

• Beach trips
  

• Outdoor dining
  

• Travel days when routines shift
  

  

  
  

With lightweight, compact construction, Portabowls slip into any bag, making them one of the most essential dog travel accessories you can bring.

5. Pee PAWD®: Consistency for Potty Training Anywhere

Traveling during the potty-training stage can feel overwhelming, but the Pee PAWD® makes it much easier by keeping your puppy’s routine consistent—even when the environment changes.

Why it’s especially useful while traveling:

• Your puppy has a familiar potty zone
  

• Reduces accidents in unfamiliar spaces
  

• Works in hotel rooms, RVs, and homes
  

• Helps reinforce training by maintaining predictability
  

  

  
  

Pee PAWD® is lightweight and easy to bring along, making it a must-have for young pups who are still establishing good potty habits.
