21 Holiday Gifts for Pets that Travel

If you’re looking for holiday gifts for pets that travel, sit, stay, and go fetch! Corny joke, but anyway! One of the upsides of 2020 has been that I’ve been staying in one spot more often. Which also means I’ve been able to travel with my dog Oscar!

I’ve discovered that having pets that travel is a lot easier than I thought. It just requires some extra research, paperwork, OH! And some fun little toys and treats to keep them calm, healthy, and entertained!

In fact, so far I have brought Oscar to Banff, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and he’s currently road tripping with me all over the Yucatan in Mexico! Be sure to follow him on Instagram (@mylifesatravelpup) for pet travel tips!

Here’s a mix of fun and functional holilday gifts for pets that travel!

Favorite Holiday Gifts for Pets that Travel: Snuffle Mat

holiday gifts for pets that travel
Oscar loves the Snuffle Mat!! For more pet tips follow him on Insta! @mylifesatravelpup

This miniature shag rug called the Snuffle Mat by Paw 5 is all the rage right now! It’s designed to encourage natural foraging skills, and keep your pup busy for a while, by hiding treats inside of it! If you have a dog that’s a fast eater, this will also help slow them down by hiding the kibbles in it!

To be completely honest, Oscar thinks it’s his own personal rug, and loves to lay on it all day! He also plays with it like a toy! I’ll be putting it in his carrier for the next plane ride too!

CBD for Dogs

Something that’s also all the rage these days (including with humans) is therapeutic and medicinal CBD!

If you have an anxious, hyper, or attachment-issues-dog (like I do), you may want to look into the Honest Paws Calm line! Oscar is great at keeping quiet while flying, but he stands up the whole time because he’s anxious, so something like this definitely helps!

The Honest Paws Collection is made with organic, full-spectrum hemp oil with naturally occurring CBD, and other all-natural ingredients. They have several options for treats as well, from CBD oil you can put in their food, so soft chews, and even Calm Peanut Butter!

Doggie Backpack

Adorable AND functional! This doggie backpack not only has space to put your pup’s collapsible water bowl, but there’s a special pouch for poo bags as well! Plus, it’s clipped on like a harness, and can be used in place of one!

As you can see, Oscar feels very bold wearing his backpack. All the horses are jealous.

Biodegradable Poo Bags

Us travelers are all eco-conscious, which means our pups need to be as well! Nothing is worse than using non-recyclable plastic bags, which is what most doggie poo bags are made of! Pay a little extra to opt for poo bags that are eco-friendly, and biodegradable like Earth Related!

Dog Swaddle Carrier

Yes, this might look absolutely ridiculous to some people. BUT! If you’re an active traveler, or have an anxious dog, this dog swaddle works wonders! I use it when hiking or camping since my dog is very small and gets tired often.

It also works well while riding a bike, or even in the car if you want to keep them calm on your lap!

Emotional Support Animal Certification

holiday gifts for pets that travel

Speaking of anxiety, if you legitimately have it, or any other mental health disorder, you can get your dog certified as an emotional support animal! Be sure to do it through a legitimate program like CertaPet, which requires you to have a call with an actual therapist for evaluation.

Once you are approved by a therapist, you will get an official letter stating that your pet is an ESA. You can use it to fly with your pet on your lap, and without having to pay a fee! You can also use it to stay at places that aren’t normally pet friendly!

Essential Holiday Gifts for Pets that Travel: Greenies

The ultimate double win for holiday gifts for pets that travel AND their owners is GREENIES! For some reason dogs are obsessed with them, and that’s great, because they clean their teeth! They also make their breath fresh! Yay!

Non-Rawhide Bones

One of the many things I learned back in the day when I was a vet tech, was that raw hide is very bad for dogs! It’s hard to digest and can get stuck in their intestines! This was sad news, because my dog LOVES those little bones!

So I found a solution! Non-Rawhide SmartBones that are safe for your dog! They will keep them entertained for hours too! I always put one in Oscar’s carrier when we are on flights to distract him. It also helps pop his ears!

Shark Fin Life Vest

If you’re traveling somewhere where there’s water, you need this adorable shark fin life vest! One of my biggest fears is my dog falling in water and drowning (since he tries to follow me literally everywhere), so I just stick this life vest on him for peace of mind! Plus, it’s REALLY cute!

Tropical Vacation Pet Outfit

holiday gifts for pets that travel

You may or may not be the type of person who puts clothes on your dog. If you are, or know someone who is, these are some seriously cute holiday gifts for pets that travel! I mean, how adorable are those mini sunglasses that come with this tropical vacation pet outfit??!

Doggie Tent for Pets that Travel

For travelers who love the beach, but it may be a bit too hot for doggo, there’s these doggie tents! I’ve tried using umbrellas, but found these mini tents work a lot better, and make my pup feel more comfortable. They also work in cold weather destinations as well, especially if you don’t want them getting your tent dirty!

Or Pet TeePee

This is mostly just one of the holiday gifts for pets that travel that is for purely cute reasons. It might not be convenient to pack, but a pet teepee will sure look adorable in photos!

Easy Holiday Gifts for Pets that Travel: Pet Wipes

If you’re staying in hotels with your pet, or if your pet sleeps in the bed with you in general, you should always have EarthRated pet wipes! You’d be shocked at how dirty their little feet get when walking outside! Pet wipes are specially formulated to be gentle on their paws while cleaning and moisturizing them!

These are also great for dogs that always get tear stains, or that like to roll around on the floor! Plus they’re plant based and compostable!

Slow Treater

If you want to distract your pet, especially for a bath, check out this Slow Treater! You can put treats or peanut butter in it, stick it to the wall, and distract them while you bathe or brush them!

Pet Bathing Tool

Speaking of bathing, if you need an extra hand, check out this cool pet bathing tool! It helps you lather and rinse efficiently and quickly!

FURminator Brush

FURminator is the most notorious brand for pet brushes! It was first to come out with an easy tool to help get rid of loose undercoat fur to prevent shedding! If you have a pet that sheds, you definitely need one of these!

Or, if your dog doesn’t shed (like mine!) but you need a good option to still comb thick undercoat fur, check out the brush on the left, which is what I use!

Dog Camera & Treat Thrower

I have a couple of friends who have the Furbo Dog Camera, and they absolutely love it! Might even be addicted to it! If you miss your doggo while you’re out exploring, or are worried about what they might get up to while alone, this gadget is for you!

You can see the area you set it up in at any time, and you can even talk to your pet through it! Best of all, you can throw treats to your dog from it just by tapping a button on your phone!

Collapsible Food & Water Bowls

This new foldable-top water bowl attached to a water bottle is also all the rage right now. I personally use collapsible food and water bowls (and bring a separate water bottle) but this product comes with all of it!

Food & Water Day Pack

I also have this product, which has been very helpful for shorter trips or the plane! Dog Water Food Bottle for Walking Travelling Hiking Camping 2-In-1 Pet Food Container with 2 Collapsible Dog Bowls Outdoor Travel Water Dispenser Leak Proof Cup Portable Drinking Bottle for Cat Puppy""” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The bottle has a divider in the middle, so you can use one side for food, and the other for water. Then it comes with two collapsible bowls that attach to it!

PawPrint Ornament Kit

Ok so this one is definitely one of the holiday gifts for pets that travel that’s more for the owner! But how cute is it! You get a mold kit to turn your pup’s paw print into a holiday ornament!

Doggy Icecream

Last but not least is this maple bacon flavored icecream for dogs! Obviously awesome, but also ideal to travel with, because it comes dry, and all you need to do is add water when you get to your destination, and freeze it! Your traveling doggo will love you for it!

Here's 21 Holiday gifts for pets that travel that's perfect for you or someone you know, who travels with their pet! From CBD treats to ESA Certification, and even a camera that throws dog treats! It's also my pup's first collab so please check it out, hehe!

  • Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10!

That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! 

***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏)

If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things!
 
Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 

I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!
  • I prefer the word “adventurous”. Would you do this? Read first for context!

This is the notorious “Devil’s Pool” at the top of Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe!

I will not tell you it’s not dangerous or that it’s safe, just that the locals have created a safe-as-possible experience here that allows you to swim in this pool due to the steep and wide lip of the falls.

So it’s not just a river that ends over the edge, it first goes in a deep pool, which would stop any large object, like a human, from going over the edge.

There are ropes involved and also someone is holding onto your foot when you’re at the edge… I’ll show that BTS next!

I’ve done this 3 times and it’s definitely a thrill! It’s also freezing and my main fear was the crocodiles and hippos that also live in the Zambezi River!

  • Went to the viral Underwater Wine Cellar in Kotor, Montenegro and here's my honest feedback as someone who lives on a vineyard by the sea in Italy!

[Comment "Kotor" and I'll send you the extensive detailed Balkans Roadtrip itinerary and tips I just made, including all the info to go here!]

It's definitely a unique concept, I've only seen one other like it in Sardinia but they don't offer tastings like this. So 10/10 for the idea to do a floating barge Wine bar!

The wine was pretty good, not sure about the pricing at €55 per bottle minimum and no option for wine by the glass.

Also it was very expensive to get there... €100 for a 20 minute round-trip water taxi..

Also you don't really dive down for your own bottle they pull up a crate and take it from there but you can ask if you can go do it!

I didn't feel it was most welcoming vibe but it was also high season and they're super popular so... 🙃

What do you think? Would you spend $150+ for this experience??

I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!
Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10! That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! ***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏) If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you!

I prefer the word “adventurous”. Would you do this? Read first for context! This is the notorious “Devil’s Pool” at the top of Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe! I will not tell you it’s not dangerous or that it’s safe, just that the locals have created a safe-as-possible experience here that allows you to swim in this pool due to the steep and wide lip of the falls. So it’s not just a river that ends over the edge, it first goes in a deep pool, which would stop any large object, like a human, from going over the edge. There are ropes involved and also someone is holding onto your foot when you’re at the edge… I’ll show that BTS next! I’ve done this 3 times and it’s definitely a thrill! It’s also freezing and my main fear was the crocodiles and hippos that also live in the Zambezi River! Follow for more unique adventures from 150+ countries of solo female traveling!

Went to the viral Underwater Wine Cellar in Kotor, Montenegro and here's my honest feedback as someone who lives on a vineyard by the sea in Italy! [Comment "Kotor" and I'll send you the extensive detailed Balkans Roadtrip itinerary and tips I just made, including all the info to go here!] It's definitely a unique concept, I've only seen one other like it in Sardinia but they don't offer tastings like this. So 10/10 for the idea to do a floating barge Wine bar! The wine was pretty good, not sure about the pricing at €55 per bottle minimum and no option for wine by the glass. Also it was very expensive to get there... €100 for a 20 minute round-trip water taxi.. Also you don't really dive down for your own bottle they pull up a crate and take it from there but you can ask if you can go do it! I didn't feel it was most welcoming vibe but it was also high season and they're super popular so... 🙃 What do you think? Would you spend $150+ for this experience?? --------------- For anyone new here, hi!
