Planning a trip with your furry companion? Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway, a cross-country drive, or a family visit across town, traveling with pets can be rewarding—but only if you’re fully prepared.
From crate comfort to mess control, and from treats to toys, the right gear makes all the difference. That’s why savvy pet parents across the USA trust WTN Essentials—a go-to destination for affordable pet supplies online, tailored to real-life travel needs.
Let’s explore the pet travel checklist that keeps tails wagging and paws calm—no matter the destination.
1. Start with a Comfortable Travel Crate Setup
Your pet’s crate isn’t just a mode of transport—it’s their safe zone on the road.
Upgrade your carrier or kennel with a chew-proof crate pad. These pads are designed to withstand anxiety chewing and constant shifting while offering orthopedic support for long drives or flights. They’re waterproof, durable, and machine-washable—perfect for messy travel days.
For added versatility, pair it with a crate mat that can double as a sleep surface at hotels, rest stops, or friends’ homes.
🧳 Pro Tip: Let your pet get used to the crate with the pad inside before your trip—it makes travel smoother.
2. Protect Your Vehicle or Airbnb with Smart Accessories
Dogs get dirty. Cats shed. Accidents happen. But that doesn’t mean your rental car or guest bedroom has to suffer.
A couch cover for dogs from WTN Essentials keeps fur, drool, and scratches off sofas and backseats. These waterproof, machine-washable covers roll up easily for travel and double as comfy blankets for nervous travelers.
It’s not just about protecting furniture—it’s about giving your pet a clean, familiar place to relax wherever you go.
3. Pack the Right Poop Bags (and Plenty of Them)
When you’re far from your usual park, the last thing you want is to run out of cleanup supplies.
Our leakproof dog poop bags come with strong seams, odor control, and easy-tie handles. Whether you’re hiking a trail or strolling through an airport pet relief area, these bags make cleanup stress-free.

👜 Travel Tip: Keep a roll in every bag—backpack, leash pouch, glovebox.
4. Entertainment On the Go: Bring the Right Toys
Whether it’s a hotel stay or a long road trip, downtime can be stressful for pets. Prevent anxiety and boredom with interactive pet toys.
For cats, the Cheerble interactive cat toy ball provides self-rolling stimulation that keeps them engaged even in unfamiliar spaces.
For dogs, pack a durable chew toy or a treat-dispensing puzzle that keeps them busy while you unpack or rest.
Mental stimulation = less barking, scratching, and pacing.
5. Mealtime Should Feel Familiar
Travel can cause pets to lose appetite or experience digestive issues—especially when food or feeding setups change.
Keep things stable with a non-slip pet food mat and your usual bowls. These mats prevent sliding in hotel rooms or cars and are easy to wipe down.
As for what to feed—stick with what works. Bring your usual dry and natural dog food or pack sensitive stomach dog food if your pet is prone to upset tummies. Don’t forget canned dog food for hydration and flavor in dry climates or on road stops.
6. Keep Them Calm with Familiar Treats
Long car rides? Flights with turbulence? Hotel check-ins? Give your pet something they know and love.
For cats, nothing works better than Inaba Churu Tuna & Chicken Cat Treats. These lickable tubes are:
-
Hydrating
-
High in protein
-
Enriched with Taurine and Vitamin E

7. Don’t Forget Grooming
Travel = new smells, new allergens, and new messes. Stay on top of coat health with compact pet grooming tools—like travel-sized brushes or deshedding gloves.
This keeps your pet feeling fresh and your Airbnb fur-free.
