Road trip ready: packing for adventures with your dog

Water, snacks, and a way to keep them secure. A short checklist for happy travels anywhere in Australia.

The best adventures are the ones where nobody ends up thirsty, carsick, or lost. A little packing goes a long way, whether it is a beach day or a long haul up the coast.

Water they can actually drink

A collapsible bowl clips to a bag and gives your dog a drink at every stop. In an Australian summer, plan on offering water more often than you think you need to.

A harness, not just a collar

A padded, no-pull harness spreads pressure across the chest and gives you a secure point to clip in for the car. Reflective trim helps for early starts and dusk walks.

Snacks for the wins

Training treats keep recall sharp in new places full of distractions. Pack more than you think, and keep them somewhere cool.
