We've been getting a lot of requests to do a dog packing video when we go on our road trips
and since I'm currently on a road trip right now from Florida to California with my dog, Kuma
I thought this would be the perfect time to show you what I packed for my road trip.
On my first road trip that I did, I did not have this.
This is a new addition and I'm taking it along with me and it's been awesome.
I put all my dog stuff in this one bag
and it's by Pet Ami.
I got it on Amazon and it's packed with so much organization.
It's awesome.
I'm going to show you what I put in here.
First of all, it has carry handles here with the velcro up top.
You can go that way but I don't usually use that so I just leave it hanging.
I usually use this part.
Haha, I still have this. I always do this. I don't take everything off, but yeah, I still have like a plastic wrap on it.
But yeah, I usually use this and carry it with me over the shoulder like this.
There's two side pockets -- mesh side pockets
and I usually put water in here.
Bottled water for Miss Kuma
and in the front, I keep the dog bowls.
They actually -- with this bag, comes two dog bowls and they're the expandable kind so that's really cool.
It's very, very handy.
The other one I'm using right now.
We're at a hotel and Kuma's using it for her water, so this is for her food.
And inside...
It's amazing how much this bag packs.
I was quite impressed.
On one side, there are food containers
and this also comes with the bag and you get two of these
and these are both lined
so in one of them, I keep her dog food
and then in the other one, I keep all her dog treats.
I actually put them in Ziploc bags because I wanted to separate them
but they're lined, so you don't have to if you don't want to.
This fits real nicely within here
and then there's a divider.
You don't have to have a divider either.
You can opt out of that because they have a velcro there
and you can take it out if you want.
So, yep, got her food... oops.
I'm dropping her food.
Each of these food containers have little handles on them too.
This does not come with the pet bag, but I got this separately on Amazon as well
and it's like a travel size -- or a portable cup.
This is a half cup but they have different cup sizes and it also has this clip
so you can clip it onto things like here or the dog bag if you have a big bag of dog food.
And then it just collapses like this and that's what I like about it.
This collapsible measuring cup has come in real handy on this trip.
I just leave it clipped to one of the bags and I scoop out her dog food with it.
On the other side, there's a whole bunch of stuff.
I keep three different dog leashes.
This is the one I use on the road because it's easy to put this collar on
and I just put it over her neck
and then it has a doggy bag attached to it.
This is easily accessible to get her out of the car super fast when I need to take her out.
And then this one is her harness.
I use this once I get to the hotel and don't need to hurry
or it's not like I'm hurrying, but I just want to move along a little bit faster.
So when I get to the hotel, I just use the harness instead.
And this is her fancy harness where she got from Saint Rue.
They make the best dog collars, harnesses, and leashes and it's very fancy and well-made.
These are for her pictures or if she needs to look good somewhere.
Then I have a whole bunch of snacks.
I got the dental bones.
I also have some dog chews -- some Himalayan Chews because she loves these; especially the peanut butter kind.
Her other little snacks, Skinny Minis.
This Bento Ball Everlasting Treat which is not so everlasting
but something to keep her occupied in the car
if she gets a little bit restless.
She's been fine so far but I just like to give her a little bit of a treat when she's in the car because she is really good.
I also put a Kong in there.
When I originally left, I put some wet dog food inside here and put it in the freezer
so on the day that I left -- I put this actually in a different cooler
because I had a cooler with me with an ice pack so I put this Kong in there
and I gave it to her for dinner on the first night that I was driving.
And then I'm going to use it once I get to my destination.
And then I brought her toys.
She really loves this slinky sloth.
I throw it to her back and forth in the hotel room.
She really likes doing that; especially if the hotel room is pretty large.
And I have a whole bunch of little mini balls for her because she likes catching these mini balls as well.
Oh, this is like a little scarf. Her winter scarf.
And I also brought her nail shaver -- trimmer.
Brought her nail trimmer.
And her toothpaste and toothbrush
and her hairbrush or a Furminator because she sheds like crazy
and I need to brush her all the time.
And these are her essentials that I need all the time.
And then on the top part, they have a mesh pockets here as well.
I don't really put too many things in here because I feel like they tend to fall out.
The only thing I put were her meds and these were her heart worm and flea prevention medicine.
And inside, I put her medical records just in case
and some more treats
like you don't have enough.
Some poop bags
and the rest of her meds.
She has a really tender tummy, so sometimes she throws up when she eats like something bad
or she has bacteria in her stomach
so I take these just in case.
It's Metronidazole... it's hard to say. Metronidazole.
And the vet gave this to me because he knows how Kuma's tummy is so sensitive.
So that's what's in this awesome bag.
I have loved using this bag. It's really come in handy.
It fits nicely right behind my chair in the car so it's worked out really nice.
That's about it for what's in this bag.
Pretty much most of Kuma's things I put in this bag now and the only thing that's separate is her big bag of dog food
but I'm only taking that big bag with me because I'm staying in California for a little while
but if you're only going for like a week or two, then I think this will suffice depending on how large your dog is.
For her, if I was going for like a week or two trip, I probably would only need this and I wouldn't need anything else extra.
And then I have another dog leash. This is the expandable one
so if I ever needed to use this, I have this as well.
In the back of my car, I have a dog seat cover and it's like a hammock style
so that your dog won't fall forward if I accidentally stop all of a sudden.
So it's very protective for your dog too.
There's like a zipper in the middle.
They have different variations of these on Amazon but the one I have has a zipper in the middle
so if you wanted your dog to come see you, you can just pull it down a little bit, which I do
because she doesn't really come forward. She kind of stays in the back.
She's a very chill dog.
There's two pockets and I put various things like a lint roller because I always have her fur on my clothes.
Some doggy bags, wet wipes... extra things that I need right away when we're traveling.
I also put a towel there just in case we need it and a doggy blanket.
She really loves fleece blankets or blankets that are super soft and her favorite one lately is this corgi blanket.
It's so cute, but yeah, it's super duper soft and she loves laying on that in the car.
I also bring a doggy bed with me because Kuma loves doggy beds.
She had another one that she liked before but I accidentally left it in the hotel room, so just be careful not to leave your doggy bed.
I accidentally did that in Nashville and I think it's because it blended in so well with the hotel room that we just totally forgot.
So I had to buy another little bed and this was actually pretty cheap on Amazon, so it wasn't too bad.
And it's better for traveling when it's smaller. It's more compact so I just put this on the bottom right behind my seat.
And then I put this bag on top of it and it doesn't take up too much room.
So I think that's all I packed for my dog. It's actually a lot of stuff, but not really.
I mean it all fits in this little bag, so... I just want my princess to be happy, right?
