items Traveling with dogs—especially two Saint Bernards and a Corgi—requires careful planning, smart packing, and the right gear to keep everyone comfortable on the road. With frequent long-distance road trips to Canada, I’ve learned exactly what works (an...

Must Haves
These are my must haves for our long car trips. Things like documents, access to food and water, and a safe way to handle multiple dogs while on the road and at our destination.
This collapsible soft crate is a must-have for road trips with large dogs, providing a secure and comfortable space on the go. Designed for XL breeds, it easily fits a 120lb Saint Bernard with room to spare, making it perfect for travel, hotel stays,...
Spacious & Travel-Friendly XL Collapsible Soft Crate
We want to make sure our dogs can still grab a drink when we are on the road. We use this size for our Corgi.
Collapsible Medium Dog Bowls, 2 Pack
Again, we want to make sure our dogs have access to water, this one we use for the saints!
X-Large Collapsible Dog Bowl, 1500 ML
Sometimes with travel comes some soft stool. And we don't really want that in the car, so we do clean up to be safe.
Dog Tushie Wipes, 100 count
Our oldest girl sometimes needs a bit of wet food to entice her to eat, and I hate dishes. I love these because the wet food can stay in the can it came in.
Silicone Pet Food Can Cover, 2 Pack
We cross land international borders with our pets so we want all of their, and our, documentation in one place. We just store everything here so we know to just grab and go when it's time.

Hitting up the beach? These towels are great because they roll up small, and don't hold onto sand.
Turkish Quick Dry Sand Free Beach Towel
I swear by this leash. Sometimes I travel with both of my Saint Bernards solo. So I like to have my calm one on a hands-free leash and I hold my crazier saint on a regular leash.
SUNNY TAILS 4-in-1 Convertible Hands Free Cloud Dog Leash
Who doesn't want a cute poop bag holder?
Sunny Tails Waste Dog Poop Bag Dispenser
Travel Bags & Storage
Everyone has different bag and storage needs based on how you travel, the size of your dogs, and just how many you have. Here's a few of our favorites.
When we travel we need a LOT of food with 2 saints and a corgi. So we just pre-scoop the food we would need for the duration of our travel (plus extra of course).
40-Cup BPA-Free Pet Food Storage Bag
When I travel with just my corgi this little set is AMAZING because it stores both the food and houses the bowls. This is great for quick trips.
Airtight Elevated Pet Feeder with Food Storage - Small
Many of our dogs are on supplements or medications. I like to keep things organized and bring only what we need when we travel.
Collapsible Silicone Dog Supplement Container
When you are traveling just under 300lbs of dog the cost of bottled water starts to add up fast. We always pack water from home to ensure everyone is hydrated while we drive.
1 Gallon BPA Free Water Bottle with Handle
This little bag is great for car rides. We use the bowls for our corgi's food/water and love the top-down access so it fits nicely between the seats. We can still access our collapsable bowls and water/treats without taking the bag out of the car.
Mobile Dog Gear Week Away Tote Pet Travel Bag
We love having a separate bad for the beach so we don't get our travel bag coated in sand. This is our go-to for day trips and trips to the beach.

Pet Comfort & Safety
When we are on the road for long periods of time, we want our dogs to be as comfortable as us! We also want them to be safe while we are far from our vet.
We are big fans of big barker in this house. Our oldest saint will only get in the car when this bed is down. It makes a huge difference in joint support for her on those long car rides.
Big Barker Backseat Barker Dog Bed for SUV
Our youngest saint does not do well in the car. So we like to support her in any way that we can. These help her sit back and relax while we drive up the interstate.
NaturVet Quiet Moments Soft Chews Calming Supplement
We are airtag people but for those that have dogs that could choke on an airtag, these GPS tracking collars are a great option.
Real Time GPS Dog Tracker
I love that these comes in packs of 4 because we have 3 dogs and I'm forgetful about where I put my keys! It's perfect.
Apple AirTag 4 Pack
When you have a rough low riding corgi, airtags can't be dangling off their collars, there just isn't enough clearance.
Airtag Dog Collar Holder with Metal Loop
For our big dogs they have collars that are often more than 1in thick. Most collar airtag holders just don't support their collars. So we like these because they are sturdy and can go right next to their tags.
Waterproof AirTag Holder - 4 Pack with Keychain
Our Corgi loves to chill in her car seat. It gives her a view out of the window and prevents our Saint Bernards from sitting on her.
