Traveling with your 4-legged friend this summer? Be sure to check out these road trip essentials that will make travel more enjoyable for both of you.
Zuke’s Z-Bones
No more bad breath coming from the back seat of the car. Fight doggie breath the natural way and give him something to wag about with natural edible dental chews from Zuke’s. Zuke’s Z-Bones help freshen breath and clean teeth without having to use wheat gluten, cornstarch or synthetic chlorophyll. Their potato-based chews maintain dental hygiene by scraping and polishing your dog’s teeth, while he enjoys the great taste. Bring along a small bag as treats or just a handful along with other Zuke’s natural treats. Available in Clean Apple Crisp, Clean Berry Crisp and Clean Carrot Crisp.
Ruffwear Dirt Bag Seat Cover
The Ruffwear Dirtbag™ Seat Cover is a durable, waterproof cover that will shield vehicle seats from the remnants of dog adventures. Their convertible design can be installed in a traditional or hammock configuration and maintains access to seat belts. Secure attachments keep the cover in place, and non-slip fabric keeps dogs stable during the ride. This seat cover is easy to fit and remove, cleans with a shake, or is machine washable. 55 in (140 cm) width fits the backseat of most passenger vehicles.
Fishpond Westwater Dog Bed
The Fish Pond Westwater dog bed is designed for the dog on the go, comfy at night and it packs tight during the day. The bed, which measures 40″ x 30″, is built with a soft fleece top and a heavy duty nylon waterproof bottom with an inflatable “mattress” liner that resembles a camp sleep pad. The bed offers a super comfy option when inflated, and when not in use rolls up tight similar to a sleeping pad for ease of travel. Read our full product review here.

Additional Add-ons:
Orvis Grip-Tight® Quilted Hose-Off Backseat Protector
Designed to protect your backseat from the dirtiest dogs, our hose-off protector is perfect for the active dog who doesn’t shake off all the mud before they hop in the backseat. Quilted for your dog’s comfort, the protector traps dog hair, dirt, mud, and moisture and keeps it away from your seats. And cleanup couldn’t be easier—simply hose it off! Crafted of heavy-duty polyester, the protective hammock features a water-resistant coating on both sides to ensure that no moisture gets through to your vehicle’s upholstery. The streamlined, convenient design attaches quickly and easily to the rear headrests with adjustable nylon straps and side-release buckles. The Grip-Tight non-slip backing prevents shifting, while innovative handles that fit between the seat cushion and backrest hold the protector firmly in place—even as your dog gets in and out of the car. Features slits for threading seat belts through. Adjustable headrests required for installation.
