If you’ve opted to take kitty along on your next adventure or you’re preparing for a big move, you’re no doubt anxious to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. We’ve been there and know how stressful it can be, but having a checklist of everything you’ll need to make sure your cat feels as comfortable as possible can make a big difference.

To help you feel more in control, we’ve put together this list of essentials for traveling with your cat. We’ve also included our top product recommendations in case there’s something you’ve yet to acquire, and we hope you find this helpful!

The 15 Vet-Approved Cat Travel Supplies

Carriers & accessories, 1. cat carrier.

• Our Pick: Sherpa Original Deluxe Airline-Approved Dog & Cat Carrier Bag

Whether you’re heading off on a road trip or jetting to faraway lands, you’ll need a carrier to keep your cat comfortable and safe. If you’re flying somewhere, it’s essential to make sure the carrier you choose is airline-approved and suitable for how your cat is to travel .

For example, if your cat is set to travel in the hold, the airline will likely stipulate that you need a hard carrier for safety reasons. On the other hand, soft carriers are more common for cats traveling in the cabin as these are easier to fit under the seat in front of you. Requirements may vary by airline, so it’s crucial to check thoroughly before you buy a carrier.

We recommend checking out the Sherpa Deluxe carrier —which has a soft, fleecy liner, a security strap, zippers, and top and side entry holes—to get an idea of what a cabin-suitable carrier looks like.

• Our Pick: Frisco Stainless Steel Personalized Dog & Cat ID Tag

It’s wise to kit your cat out with an ID tag to attach to a collar when you travel just in case they manage to escape or get lost. With a personalized tag like our top pick by Frisco, in addition to your pet’s name, you can have your address and phone number engraved or just your phone number if you’re more comfortable with that—it’s up to you what information you include.

If you’re traveling on an airplane, bear in mind that it may be a hard requirement that your cat wears a collar and ID tag. It’s also a good idea to ensure your cat’s microchip details are up to date before you travel.

3. Harness & Leash

• Our Pick: Hepper Harness and Leash Set

Pit stops are half the fun when you’re on a long road trip, and they’re necessary for any pets you’re traveling with to relieve themselves and stretch their legs. A comfortable harness prevents your cat from wandering off and potentially getting lost or injured once you open the carrier.

If you don’t already have a harness and leash , take a look at this set by Hepper. It’s adjustable, made with breathable mesh, and comes in various sizes from XXS to L. This set also gets bonus points for its reasonable price.

At Catster, we’ve admired Hepper for many years and decided to take a controlling ownership interest so that we could benefit from the outstanding designs of this cool cat company!

Food & Feeding Supplies

4. cat food.

• Our Pick: Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials Chicken & Rice Formula

Of course, your cat’s regular food formula is something you’ll want to take with you. Every cat is different and has unique needs depending on age and overall health but if you need suggestions, Purina Pro Plan is a popular brand, and its Complete Essentials formula has received rave reviews from the majority of customers.

We picked this formula because it’s a good example of what to look for in quality dry cat food. Real chicken is the first ingredient and it’s complete and balanced, meaning it caters to all your cat’s nutritional needs.

5. Food & Water Bowls

• Our Pick: Hepper NomNom Bowl

Sometimes, the most basic items are the easiest to forget! Double-dish bowls are a good option for traveling with your cat because these save you from taking multiple separate bowls. On that basis, we think Hepper’s NomNom bowl is a great choice.

This double-dish bowl made of stainless steel and PP plastic has raised sides to catch spilled water and bits of food and is designed to be gentle on your cat’s sensitive whiskers.

6. Food & Water Bowl Mat

• Our Pick: PetFusion Premium Silicone Dog & Cat Food Mat

If you plan to stay in an Airbnb or visit friends or family, you’ll want to make sure your feline travel companion stays in everyone’s good books! If you’re worried about your cat making a mess, consider taking along a mat that sits underneath food bowls.

Not only do these mats keep bowls from moving about (ideal for especially enthusiastic eaters), but they’re great for keeping the floor nice and clean. This silicone mat by PetFusion comes in three sizes, has raised edges to catch spillage, and is easy to clean.

• Our Pick: Feline Greenies Oven-Roasted Chicken Flavor Dental Treats

Traveling is never easy on cats, but it may sweeten the pill a little if they get some tasty snacks along the way. Treats can also be useful for encouraging your cat to go into their carrier and reward them for doing so—this creates positive associations. It’s best if you get your cat used to their carrier several weeks or even months before traveling.

Of all the treats we checked out, these Feline Greenies dental treats were among those with top-tier reviews. They’re also pretty cheap, which is always a bonus.

Hygiene Supplies

8. collapsible litter box.

• Our Pick: Pet Fit for Life Collapsible Portable Litter Box with Collapsible Bowl

When you travel, it can be a pain to lug your cat’s huge, plastic litter box along with you. Instead, think about getting a collapsible, portable litter box like this one by Pet Fit for Life. It folds up neatly into a little rectangle that takes up very little room and is made of nylon fabric and poly-plastic for flexibility and easy cleaning.

Bonus: You get two items in one when you buy the collapsible litter box. Kudos to Pet Fit for Life for the handy collapsible food/water bowl that comes with your purchase.

9. Litter Scoop

• Our Pick: Van Ness Litter Scoop

You’ll need a scoop to take care of business after your cat has finished using their collapsible litter box. Luckily, you can get one for as little as a dollar or two, like this Van Ness scoop . According to many user reviews, this lightweight, inexpensive scoop made of durable plastic does just as good a job as more expensive scoops, though some remain firmly in favor of metal, non-stick scoops.

10. Poop Bags

• Our Pick: The Original Poop Bags Compostable Rolls (60 Count)

No trip with your cat would be complete without the ultimate essential: Poop bags. If possible, it’s best to go for eco-friendly bags like these compostable ones by The Original Poop Bags . They’re made with plant fibers, starch, and vegetable oils, and the core is made from recycled cardboard.

11. Pet Wipes

• Our Pick: Hepper Wash Wipes

When traveling, it’s wise to be prepared for potential bathroom-related accidents in the carrier. If your cat’s fur ends up covered in something not-so-nice as a result, it can be useful to have some pet wash wipes on hand to aid in cleanup. These aloe and cucumber wipes by Hepper are alcohol-free, vet-recommended, and formulated to be gentle on your cat’s coat and skin.

Comfort & Calming Supplies

12. cat bed.

• Our Pick: Frisco Tent Covered Cat & Dog Bed

Being away from home can be very stressful for a cat since they’re the ultimate creatures of habit. For this reason, your cat’s favorite snoozing spot should be on your travel checklist. It’s worth considering getting a covered/tent-style cat bed like this one by Frisco as these make great refuges for anxious cats.

We like this cat tent in particular because it’s not crazily expensive, has garnered excellent reviews, and is soft and cozy inside.

13. Calming Items

• Our Pick: Comfort Zone Calming Pheromone Breakaway Cat Collar

If your cat gets very stressed when traveling, your vet may recommend some calming supplements or items to help. Experiences with calming items can vary—some swear by them while others say they don’t notice any change in their cat at all.

However, if you want to give them a shot, you can find items like these Comfort Zone calming collars which release pheromones similar to those cats naturally produce. These pheromones are comforting and help cats feel safe.

Toys & Enrichment

14. scratch post.

• Our Pick: Hepper Hi-Lo Scratcher

Of course, if you’re traveling by plane, taking along your cat’s scratch post from home may not be an option (unless you have a large enough suitcase), but you should definitely try squeezing one into your vehicle if you’re taking a road trip. This will help keep your Airbnb or host’s home safe from scratched walls or furniture, and it ensures your cat can act out their natural scratching instincts as normal.

For us, this Hi-Lo scratcher by Hepper is a great choice because it’s made of thick cardboard and can be arranged into three different positions to extend its durability.

• Our Pick: Hepper Catnip Stick Toy

Last but certainly not least is your cat’s favorite toy to keep them entertained wherever you’re headed. If your cat’s toy stock needs replenishing, Hepper’s catnip stick toy is worth checking out. Though it’s quite pricey for a cat toy, it’s made to last with a double lining and contains pure, organic catnip from North America. You can pick from three shades: blue, white, or gray.

Extra Tips for Traveling with Your Cat

• Make sure your cat undergoes any procedures (like health checks, blood tests, etc.) that may be required for flying and entering other countries.
• Remember that to fly to some countries with a pet, you need to start preparing several months in advance. Australia is an example of a country with very strict and complicated pet importation rules.
• Make sure your cat is fully vaccinated and has had all the shots required by the country you’re traveling to.
• Check that your cat’s microchip information is up to date.
• Keep a neatly organized folder of all the paperwork you may need to travel with your cat.
• Speak to your vet for advice on traveling with your cat.
• Never leave your cat in a hot vehicle. It can take just minutes for heatstroke to set in.
• Take bottled water to offer your cat throughout the journey.

Traveling with a cat—unless you have a super chilled-out kitty—is rarely easy and takes a lot of thought and preparation. Preparing well in advance—especially if you’re flying with your cat—is the best way to make sure things go smoothly.

This means gathering all the supplies you’ll need to ensure your cat’s safety and comfort on the trip as well as any necessary paperwork. On a final note, we’d urge you to consult your vet before traveling to make sure your cat is healthy and get some tips on how to make the experience less stressful for all involved.

The Best Cat Travel Accessories (Adventure Kitty Approved)

By: Author The Fluffy Kitty

Posted on Last updated: August 3, 2022

Categories Cat Travel

Is it possible to travel with a cat? Heck yes! We are proof that it’s possible & Yoda makes our adventures around the world even more meaningful.  

But we have definitely found that having the right cat travel gear can make all the difference when it comes to helping your furry explorers feel safe & comfortable. 

In fact, it’s one of our top tips when asked how to get a cat used to traveling. 

So we’ve decided to create a cat travel equipment list for new adventure kitties, recommending all the top items you’ll need for flying, driving or hiking your way around the globe with your fur-friend by your side. 

These items can help train your cat to travel like a pro & make your life as a pet parent 100x easier. 

Table of Contents

The Cat Travel Equipment List

Every cat travel kit should include: 

• Travel dishes (& food)
• Water carrier (& fresh water)
• Cat travel litter box/tray
• Cat backpack with window
• Leash & Harness
• Travel friendly toys 
• First aid kit 
• Essential documents 

We’ll be sharing our personal favorite options for these below, covering all the top travel gear for cats, plus a few top tips along the way. To set you and your feline friend up for a calm & enjoyable trip!

But first – how do we pick our travel favorites? Paul, Yoda & I have a certain criteria that we like to stick to:

• Cat-centric – We choose products that are made specifically for cats, with their wellbeing in mind. We choose items that are geared towards their safety & happiness, allowing them to fulfill natural urges in healthy ways. 
• Eco-friendly – We always try to find the most sustainable options we can, with Earth’s health in mind. While no one is ever perfect, our choices can make a difference – so we reflect this in our suggestions. 
• Accessible – We all love to spoil our pets, but that can mean something different to each of us. So we include a range of options at different price tags, to include all cat lovers in our community. 

1. Cat Carriers 

While you may not think you need a carrier if you are heading off in your RV, even when you aren’t traveling by plane a cat carrier can come in real handy. You never know when you might need to visit the vets, or need to contain your cat for some other reason. 

This is why I like super sturdy yet lightweight options. Bonus points if they fold down too!

Our favorite all-rounder is the Mr. Peanut’s Airline Approved Soft Sided Pet Carrier . A great fit for pet parents looking to get a good value-for-money, a collapsible & expandable option, and also airline approved!

If you want more airline & portable options, check out our Guide To The Best Cat Carriers.

My other top tip? If you are traveling super lightweight, a cat backpack could double as a carrier…see our cat backpack recommendations below. 

2. Travel dishes 

For travel dishes, you want something light, easily packable & sturdy enough to keep up with your adventures! 

If you are hiking or out on the road, a collapsible bowl will be your best way to go. I like the Simple SLSON Collapsing Bowl , again because it’s lightweight, really durable (so it will last) & super easy to clean. Plus it’s got a handy clip, so if you want it easily accessible or can’t squeeze it in anywhere, you’re covered! 

If you’re in a campervan or RV, you might want a more permanent solution that’s still travel friendly. For this I’d recommend a light, non-slip bowl. This option from Beco is cool because its low rim is whisker friendly, and it’s made from durable & sustainable bamboo. Grippy rubber pads secure the bowl from below too.

•  RV Travel With Cats – The Ultimate Guide
• Ultimate Guide to Van Life with a Cat

For an extra dash of travel security, I sometimes add a non-slip mat too – for those rockier journeys! This Bohemian Pet Food Mat is a winner on all fronts. It’s made from recyclable materials, is waterproof and grippy & it’s super cute too (Bingo!).

3. Water Carrier

Having fresh water on hand is always important when traveling, especially on longer trips. So a good pet water bottle is top of my list for cat car travel accessories.

I love this Pet Water Bottle , because it’s got a huge capacity & easy carry options. Meaning you’ll make the most of every refill without it weighing you down. 

More importantly, it’s BPA free, the parts are easily detachable for cleaning & it’s recyclable too. 

Though it’s designed for dogs, I also love the Kong stainless steel options – especially for hot climates. These are a little bulkier, but they keep water cool for a super long time, which can really help a furry kitty on a hot day! The clip means you can attach it to your belt for hiking too. 

P.S – It’s always a good idea to confirm the cleanliness and hygiene level of drinking water before filling your bottle.

A long day’s traveling leads to plenty of naptime ahead. Comfortable, non-bulky yet supportive bedding is key to helping your cat feel cozy, wherever they are. 

This handcrafted Wool Pet Bed is a great option for campers & RVs as it’s small, lightweight & washable. But it’s also sturdy enough to offer support and soft enough to offer lots of comfort for your kitty.

If you need something even more adventure friendly, this Travel Pet Blanket rolls up into a tight ball. Another bonus is that it’s water resistant on one side, should you need it! 

5. Cat Travel Litter Box

Probably the trickiest part of traveling with a cat is toilet time, right? Well we’ve got you covered! Check out our RV & Camper guides for those recommendations. But for everything in between..

This Portable Stress Free litter box looks like a game changer. It’s another lightweight must-have, and collapsible too, so you can bring it anywhere and open it up as needed. 

Plus, a durable waterproof liner makes for easy cleaning and leak-free usage. Phew! 

Disposable boxes might sound like a big no no, but KITTY SIFT has boxes that are made from recycled paper, meaning they are compostable when you are done with them – amazing right! We also reviewed the Nature’s Miracle disposable litter box, and loved it! It’s super long-lasting and uses integrated baking soda to keep odors at bay. 

Really want to keep the mess to a minimum? Read our guide to The Best Cat Litter Mats .

6. Cat Backpack 

Perfect for seeing the sights together, we like a cat backpack with window options or an opening so your kitty can watch the world go by. Yoda loves it!

We own the Mister Peanut Backpack and we love it because:

• It can hold up to 15 lbs, so even larger cat breeds can enjoy a ride on your back.
• It has a harness clip, so your cat can hang out/pop their heads out safely.
• It’s comfortable to wear, even for longer hikes and trips.

At around 50-60 dollars (as of 2021) it is great value for money! We even use it as a carrier in the plane. 

Don’t forget, your next option for outdoor exploration is coming up next…

We’ve got plenty of other backpack options to suit your style & budget here: 10 Best Cat Backpacks for Adventurous Felines .

And our 12 Do’s and Don’ts of Backpacking with a Cat !

7. Leash & Harness

When it comes to travel, we are always on the hunt for the next best cat harness so Yoda can join along on our local exploration. We look for harnesses that are safe but easy to slip on, durable, non-bulky & comfy but always stylish! 🙂

Recently we reviewed the Supakit Vegan Cork Cat Harness , because for us it checked all our boxes. We used it extensively while visiting Guadeloupe and it worked very well

Materials that are gentle on the environment, a company that gives back to the cat community & products specially created for adventure cats. Plus we loved how it fits – allowing Yoda loads of freedom and comfort. 

Supakit also makes hardy & durable leashes that are comfortable to hold and allow for all kinds of adventures. They even have a super cool retractable option which is great for allowing your kitty a little more freedom. 

For more options, check out our guide to The 5 Best Cat Harnesses for Adventurous Felines .

8. Travel Friendly Toys

Keeping cats entertained is just as important when you are on the road. Especially if you are in a confined space for a short, or longer period of time. 

It’s great to bring a few of your kitty’s favorites with you , as this can help them feel more at home wherever you are. But pick wisely – it’s probably best to leave anything hefty behind and just take your smaller toys. 

A compostable or recyclable scratching pad, like these 3 in 1 Scratch Pads , is a great way to keep your packing light whilst also allowing your kitty to do that all-important claw sharpening!

On your way, you can also use any cardboard leftovers, such as toilet rolls or boxes, to create eco-friendly fortress toys or treat dispensers for your feline sidekick. 

 9. First Aid Kit 

It always pays to be prepared, and adding to your own first aid kit with a few feline specific supplies is always top of my packing list. 

Including some pet-safe bandages, antiseptic & tape are a must. 

If you’d rather have a whole dedicated pack for your furry friend, the Pet Products Pocket First Aid Kit comes in a really handy clip bag. It’s designed to be easily transportable, but contains enough essentials to help you feel calm and prepared in the event of an accident. 

10. Essential Documents 

The biggest packing nightmare? Trying to find your passport as the boarding gate is closing – right!?

This is why we keep everything concerning Yoda in a safe water proof document holder, so I can keep both mine and Paul’s & Yoda’s important information easily accessible & super safe. 

Want more detail on what documents to pack?

• What Is a Pet Passport & Does Your Cat Need One?

Depending on your chosen location, whether it’s a mountain trail or a city beach break , and how you plan to get there, road trip in the RV or flying with a pet-friendly airline – your kit list might change. 

The above list covers all the essentials, but for those with specific destinations, activities or needs in mind, here are the extras you might consider adding to your cat travel kit list:

• Pet wipes – biodegradable wipes can be a great eco-friendly option for keeping your kitty clean and hygienic on their travels. 
• Life jacket – kayaking or boating? Your cat will need a life jacket too!
• Cool bag – if you feed to keep things fresh, it’s a great idea to have a cool bag to keep meals at a safe temperature. I like these mini washable bags as they are super easy to pack. 
• Stroller – uber handy for senior cats or local breaks. We’ve written a blog about why cat strollers rock , with a buying guide included too!
• Relaxing music & natural supplements – in our post on 10 Ways to Calm My Cat Down for Travel , we discuss how training and natural aids can help keep your feline friend much happier than sedation can. Calming aromas like pet-safe lavender oil or CBD drops can help if you have a nervous kitty.

And there you have it! Our ultimate guide to the essential cat travel accessories. We hope you find the perfect addition to your packing list, that will see you through lots of amazing adventures together. Any questions? Or travel tips of your own? We’d love to hear them 🙂

Tips for traveling with your pet.

The Spruce Pets / Kristin Kempa

Traveling with your dog or cat can get overwhelming for both of you. On top of many pets having travel anxiety or getting motion sickness, they also get bored, have to use the bathroom, and get hungry and thirsty on the road. Whether you're traveling by car, plane, boat, or train (or even just going for a hike), you'll want to stock up on the top pet travel accessories to make you and your furry friend's experience a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

To get expert recommendations and tips for traveling with a pet, we spoke with Dr. Gina Rendon, medical director at Williamsburg Vet Clinic in Brooklyn, New York, and Dr. Catriona Love, medical director at Mercer Street Veterinary Hospital in Seattle, Washington. They shared important safety and logistical tips for traveling with your pet.

We also took recommendations from Travel + Leisure editors, did extensive research, and reviewed 131 products across seven different tests including ones for dog car seats, cat carriers, GPS collars, and more. Before you take your next trip with your pet, check out these travel accessories that will make vacations with the whole family run smoothly.

Best Airline-approved Dog Backpack Carrier

Mr. peanut's aspen series airline approved backpack pet carrier.

• Performance 5 /5
• Quality 5 /5
• Comfort 4.5 /5

Your pet will get great ventilation and views with mesh windows on all four sides.

The narrow width/height may not provide enough space for some dogs.

If you need an airline-approved pet carrier , this petite backpack-style dog carrier makes traveling hands-free with your dog a breeze. The thoughtful details stood out during testing, including several built-in pockets for storing treats, your phone, or waste bags. We also found the side water bottle pocket and laptop sleeve convenient. The interior is fleece-lined for your dog’s comfort, and there is a leash tether for security. Mesh on all four sides gives your pup a breathable space with all-sides peekability — two factors that can help comfort anxious travelers. This backpack is slim enough to fit under even the narrowest of under-seat space on a plane, but with only seven inches of interior floor width (as stated by the manufacturer, it’s made for smaller dogs). The padded backpack straps are easily adjustable, and you can also belt in the backpack with the handy seat belt attachment. 

Best Dog Car Seat

Away the pet carrier.

• Comfort 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5
• Design 5 /5

It looks as good as it performs — and it has pet safety certification.

Minimal mesh paneling may be claustrophobic for some pets.

The Away Pet Carrier is a generous glow-up from the traditional pet carrier. Clean lines give this carrier a modern profile and silhouette, while the all-black color gives it an edge against the competition. We love this carrier not just for its looks, but also how it performs. Details like a water-resistant lining, removable plush bedding with a reinforced bottom, a retractable privacy screen, and loads of pockets and storage areas keep pets and pet parents happy. This carrier is also one of four pet carriers certified by the Center for Pet Safety for use in the backseat of your car. We tested this on a 12-hour car ride with a 6-pound dog who does not typically like car rides, and the dog seemed comfortable and secure, sleeping for almost the entire ride. It’s worth noting that there is limited mesh paneling (only on the top and one side), which may cause some pets to get claustrophobic and/or limit breathability in some situations. 

Best Car Seat Cover for Dogs

Urpower dog car seat cover.

• Ease of Setup 5 /5
• Functionality 5 /5
• Ease of Cleaning 5 /5

It is easy to install and has high sides for full protection of your car and pet.

It’s got fixed measurements, so be sure it’ll line up correctly with your car’s backseat space. 

Road tripping with your pet? Polyester and 600D PVC material keep this hammock-style cover sturdy, durable, and waterproof — and your backseat spotless. We thought installation was painless, but take note if the fixed measurements and anchor strap placement fits with your car before buying. We love the high all-sides protection this cover provides so you don’t have to worry about cleaning up any shedding or mess from the floor, doors, or seatbacks — or your pet crawling up into the front seat. Cleaning the cover is as easy as wiping it down with a damp cloth. A purposeful design includes slots for accessing seat belt bases so you can clip in your pet for the ride, a nonslip rubber backing for stability when on the move, and a storage pocket with a Velcro closure for pet essentials. It comes in seven neutral color options, including a multi-colored paw print pattern and two black variations with orange accents.

Best Portable Pet Bowl

Maxbone go portable bowls.

It’s a stylish silicone pet bowl that you can roll up and toss into your bag. 

The bowl size may be more of a snack size for larger pets.

This roll-up, two-in-one silicone pet bowl set is our favorite way to feed our pets on the road and gives us one less thing to keep track of while in transit. Each set comes with two bowls approximately five by two inches that are connected to a larger flat mat measuring 15.4 by 9.3 inches. The bowls are more like walled wells, and each holds around two-and-a-half cups. We tried this out with a dog who loves to splash, but the built-in placement and the way the bowls are attached mat them virtually spill proof (anytime the dog did scoop out food or spill water, the silicone mat would catch it). We also found the soft silicone veasy to clean with soap and water, and we love how quickly it dries — two big pluses when you’re on the move. The fact that you can easily roll up the mat and stick these bowls into your pet’s carrier or a tote also scores big in our books. Plus, the geometric design of the bowls adds an element of style to a product that is usually bland. These Maxbone Go! Portable Bowls are also available in contemporary colors like mint, pale yellow, peach, and sand. 

Best Dog Food Storage

Iris airtight food storage container.

• Design 4.5 /5
• Performance 2 /5
• Durability 5 /5
• Easy to Clean 5 /5

Both containers have easy-to-load, flip-top lids that snap shut. 

The larger sizes may not be suitable for all types of trips.

This double-decker food storage container is an ideal way to keep your dog’s kibble fresh while on the road. We were big fans of the top-loading, flip-top lids and how well they stayed sealed shut when put to the test. Cleaning just takes a little bit of soap and water, though you’ll want to make sure the inside is completely dry before closing the lid to avoid mildew from moisture. The 35-pound capacity is great for longer trips or multiple dogs, and the wheely bottoms mean no heavy lifting. We also like that there’s an included scoop. While it may not be small enough to take on the plane, the top container can easily fit into the backseat or trunk of a car. 

Best Cat Carrier

Maskeyon airline approved pet carrier.

• Portability 4 /5

All sides can expand, but it still folds flat for easy storage. 

The 19.5-inch length won’t be able to fly on several airlines.

Whether you’re heading to Vermont or the vet’s office, this expandable cat carrier is a smart way to give your cat a little extra space to lounge while you wait. We love that each side has an accordion-style, scratch-proof mesh expansion window, giving maximum configuration customization options. We transported a cat to the vet with all of the flaps folded in and then laid her out on a bench with some flaps unzipped when we got to the waiting room for extra space. Three exterior pockets keep travel essentials handy, and you have three zippered access and loading points, including from the top. This carrier can hold up to 20 pounds of cat, and you can carry it via built-in handles or a detachable shoulder strap. A soft-lined interior panel keeps kitty comfy, and it’s removable and machine-washable. The exterior is waterproof and wipes clean. The Maskeyon Airline Approved Pet Carrier is somewhat of a misnomer, though — its length exceeds several soft pet carrier requirements on a handful of airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United. 

Best Dog Crate

Petmate pet kennel.

• Performance 4.5 /5
• Quality 4.5 /5

The metal grate is secure but super simple to open and close.

The small plastic handle makes it challenging to balance weight, especially if your dog is moving around inside.

This old-school dog crate carrier is a hardside option for transporting your pup. Assembly is quick and requires no tools, and there’s a small plastic carry handle. We like this carrier because it’s lightweight but sturdy and kept our pet secure during transport. It’s a bare-bones crate, but there’s enough room to put down a cushion or add your pup’s favorite toy. You can load dogs through the front gate or the top gate, both of which have a simple and easy pinch-and-lock feature. This crate is designed to hold up to 15 pounds of pup, but be warned that it can be difficult to balance weight sometimes since the plastic handle is small and placed at the center of the top. 

Best Grooming Wipes

Floof renewing wipes.

They are biodegradable and don’t have a strong scent.

Don’t use these around your dog’s eyes or inside their ears — everywhere else is fair game.

These biodegradable, hypoallergenic cleansing wipes are a go-to grab that can function as a quick way to get rid of dirt and bacteria between baths or simply after a walk. Made from bamboo and other natural ingredients like soothing aloe and chamomile, these wipes are as good for the environment as they are for your pet. They are gentle enough to use from nose to tail (just avoid eyes and inside the ears), and we love that we don’t have to worry about dogs getting sick if they happen to lick an area that’s just been wiped. One of our editors keeps a pack stashed in their dog’s carrier to clean his paws after walks or to give a light, impromptu, all-over bath anytime on the go. Wipes come in 30-sheet packs with a plastic snap closure to seal in moisture, and they’re small enough to tuck into the pocket of your pet carrier for easy access.

Best GPS Collar

Link smart pet wearable.

• Accuracy 5 /5
• Design 4 /5

It also works as a behavioral training device. 

It requires a subscription to use.

Think of the Link Smart Pet Wearable Tracker as the Fitbit for dogs. This wearable takes GPS to the next level by also adding health and activity monitoring and behavioral training capabilities via sounds and vibrations. Plus, it works by transmitting location through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile signals for the most accurate location information. You need to download an app, and we found it easy to set up and navigate. We were impressed by how accurate the tracking was through Google Maps, pinpointing not only the dog’s exact address, but also the specific area of the house she was moving through. This will be incredibly useful for travel or hiking with dogs. Owners will get alerts when their dog has moved beyond boundaries, and they can also set up temperature alerts, turn on the built-in flashlight through the app, and do real-time checks on health symptoms. There’s even a step counter. The catch? You’ll need a subscription for this wearable to work. Subscriptions have three options; monthly, yearly, and two-year. This wearable comes with two attachment options and a wall charger. 

Best Dog Seat Belt

Kurgo direct to seat belt tether for dogs.

It puts the bulk of the pull against your dog's body, not their neck.

It is not compatible with certain models of trucks.

Unlike many dog seat belts, the Kurgo Direct to Seat Belt Swivel Tether for Dogs clips directly into your car's seat belt fastener versus looping around the headrest. This tether is designed to attach to a dog harness instead of a collar, centering the pull of the tether on your dog's torso rather than their neck. The swivel-head carabiner harness attachment also allows your pet to move around without getting tangled. While this car seat tether works with most cars, it is incompatible with the seat belt fasteners in Ford F-series trucks.

Best Cooling Jacket

Ruffwear swamp cooler dog harness.

It also fits medium or large cats.

You can’t put this in the dryer.

A top pet travel tip from Dr. Rendon is to "be mindful and plan for the temperatures of the places to which you are traveling" and prepare accordingly. Bring coats and booties if it's cold and cooling mats or vests if it's hot. The Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Dog Cooling Harness functions as an evaporative cooling vest and lightweight harness that stays wet to keep your pet up to six times cooler in high temps. Triple-layer cooling panels — wicking outer layer, absorbing middle layer, and an inner dry layer — are located along the chest, stomach, and back. A padded, quick-grab handle allows you to assist your pet easily when needed. Plus, the simple and intuitive side-buckle design makes it a snap to get on and off. The harness's aluminum V-ring clips and reinforced loops can hold up to the demands of rugged outdoor adventures. Bonus? The XXS size was a perfect fit for my medium-size, heat-intolerant (and harness-trained) cat. When it's time to clean, it calls for the gentle cycle and air dry only.

Best Heating Mat

K&h pet products heated thermo-kitty bed.

The heat level adjusts to your pet's body temperature.

It's too small for medium-to-large dogs.

To continue on the theme of preparing for the weather, you can keep your cat or small dog toasty with the K&H Thermo-Kitty Mat. The insertable dual thermostat heater is designed to warm up only when your pet lays on top. From there, it adjusts the heat level to your pet's internal temperature so it's always just right. This is a great travel pet accessory to take camping, on car rides in cold temperatures, or for accommodations without central heating. This bed is big enough for any size cat and small dogs.

Best Dog Boots

Ruffwear grip trex dog boots.

They provide great grip and heat protection.

The low-ankle design may cause paws to get wet in snow.

Ruffwear Grip Trex Dog Boots are high-quality, rubber-soled dog boots that protect your pet's paws on rugged terrain, hot rocks and sidewalks, and frosty or salted paths. Some owners even use these boots indoors on slippery hardwood floors thanks to the heavily textured Vibram outsoles. The actual shoes are made from mesh, giving your dog's paws a bit of breathing room in hot climates. The gusset design makes it easy to take these shoes off and on. While these shoes work well on salted pavement and in freezing temperatures (with socks), the short-rise design isn't ideal for walks in more than an inch or so of snow.

Best Water Bottle

Kalimdor dog water bottle.

The handy design and size also works for cats.

Some pets may not be comfortable drinking out of this unfamiliar shape.

Heat, stress, and anxiety may cause your pet to become thirstier and more dehydrated than usual. For trips with her small chihuahua, Dr. Love prefers the Kalimdor Portable Dog Water Bottle because of its small size and leak-proof design. This one-handed, two-in-one design has a plastic bottle base that can store up to 19 ounces of water (most bottles only hold up to 16 ounces). The scooped-out top functions as a water bowl that holds up to 2.8 ounces of water. Liquid is released directly into the drinking area by unlocking a switch and pushing a button. You can recollect any unused water in the storage bottle instead of tossing it out. The compact design makes it easy to carry in a travel bag or backpack, or you can loop it around your wrist. Our one note is that we wish this had a built-in filter.

Best Portable Litter Box

Travel cat porta pawty.

You don't have to toss out the litter at every stop.

The collapsible design translates to weak sides.

Finding a decent travel litter box is one of the biggest challenges of traveling with a cat. The Travel Cat Porta-Pawty Travel Litter Box solves multiple problems, including wasting litter. The zippered top and built-in side handle enables you to scoop and go, reusing the same lot of litter along multiple stops. Its construction also helps to block odors, which makes stays at pet-friendly hotels more comfortable for everyone involved. The top-flap design and standard litter box dimensions (19 by 14 by 5 inches) give your cat sufficient room to do their business. The seamless, leak-proof interior is a cinch to clean, and when you're not using the bag, it collapses, folds, and snaps into a rectangle that measures 9.75 by 8.5 by 4 inches. Litter helps the collapsible walls of this box stay up and sturdy, so don't hold back when filling it up.

Best Calming Supplement

Vetoquinol zylkene behavior.

It has a natural, non-sedative calming effect.

It may not be enough to calm some pets.

According to Dr. Rendon, "Zylkene calming supplements are derived from milk protein and recommended by behaviorists." They can be used for cats or dogs and are a good option for owners who want to try over-the-counter remedies before getting a sedating prescription like Gabapentin or Trazodone from their vet. This supplement's active ingredient, alpha-casozepine, has natural calming properties. Although it's derived from cow's milk, it is lactose-free. The dosage is administered according to weight and can be given in its original capsule form or as a powder mixed into food by opening the capsules. Dr. Rendon recommends starting the supplements a few days before travel. Every pet is different, and Zylkene may not be effective on some animals.

Best First-aid Kit

Adventure medical kits me & my dog.

It's a first-aid kit for both you and your dog.

It only covers four days of basic medical needs.

Love hiking with your dog or running on the beach together? Or do you just want to be prepared for everyday outing accidents? This first-aid kit is a two-in-one medical kit you can keep in your car or toss in your backpack before an outdoor adventure. It comes with two separate pouches of medical supplies — one for you and one for your dog — that can cover basic first-aid needs like splinter and tick removal, wound irrigation, cuts and scrapes, and more. There are enough supplies in each kit to last one person and one dog up to four days. Even though it comes with how-to medical guides, it's not meant for severe injuries.

We combed through results from seven different pet product tests to find some of the recommendations in this roundup, specifically looking for the most travel-friendly options. We tested over 130 pet products, including dog food storage containers, dog backpack carriers, dog car seats, car seat covers, cat carriers, dog crates, and GPS collars. Some staple attributes we tested for in each category included design, performance, value, and ease of use. For carriers, crates, and backpacks, we introduced the products to our pets, carried them around in the carrier, crate, or backpack for 10-15 minutes, and noted how comfortable the item was for both ourselves and our pets. We also did a test run through all the features and cleaning. For dog car seats, we drove around with our dogs in the car seat for a week and then cleaned the car seat, again noting how comfortable we both seemed and the ease of cleaning. All tested products were put through real-world testing scenarios in order to accurately assess their overall performance and value for readers and their pets. We also included T+L editor recommendations that they personally use for their own pets for portable pet bowls and grooming wipes.

Check airline and FAA requirements ahead of travel

Nearly every airline has its own rules for flying with a pet. Check with your airline well ahead of your flight to confirm if your animal will be able to fly on the plane. Many airlines accept service animals but limit the qualifications to certain breeds and type of service. Additionally, short-nosed breeds of cats and dogs such as pugs and Persians are often not allowed to fly in cargo due to breathing concerns . Most flights only allow for a maximum number of in-cabin pets per flight or will only fly with pets in the cargo during certain months. It's wise to make a reservation for your pet well in advance to secure them a spot on board.

Consider microchipping your pet

If your pet isn't already microchipped, your upcoming trip may be just the right excuse to get it done. This is to help others identify your pet and locate the owner in case your pet escapes or runs away during travel. Collars also provide this information but can easily slip off in different circumstances. Microchipping your pet is added protection that you'll be reunited if they get lost and may be required for international trips.

Map out walk and bathroom breaks ahead of time

When planning your trips and travel time, be sure to pencil-in some time for your pet to use the bathroom — and find out where they can relieve themselves. In some (but not all) airports, there are dedicated pet relief areas with fake grass where dog owners can take their pets to use the bathroom. Options for cat owners are far fewer, which is why having a portable litter box on hand is so, well, handy.

Frequently Asked Questions

According to Dr. Rendon, one of the most important things you can do when traveling with your pet is to check each state or country's travel requirements well in advance of your trip. "You should contact your veterinarian or check the APHIS Pet Travel website for specific requirements," she says. "You may need a health certificate issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian and approved by an APHIS veterinary officer in order to travel internationally. Your airline may also have specific requirements. Don't wait until the day before you travel to obtain the necessary paperwork!"

You must book a reservation for your pet in advance — some airlines allow you to do it online or through their app, while others will require a phone call.

"If you need to travel with your pet and they are too big to fly in the cabin with you (typically larger than 20 pounds), then cargo is a totally acceptable way to bring them," Dr. Love says. "It is always better to have them in the cabin with you because you can be with them, but that isn't always an option."

Both vets agree that the biggest downside to flying your pet in the cargo is that you're unable to monitor them or give them any anti-nausea or calming medicine as needed. Keep in mind that the cargo area is not temperature controlled and you should avoid flying your pets in very hot or very cold months.

One of the easiest ways to keep your pets safe while traveling is to keep them calm. "Don't wait until the day of travel to introduce your animal to a carrier or crate," suggests Dr. Rendon. "Place a familiar blanket or one of your worn T-shirts in the carrier with your animal so it smells like home. Carriers should be lined with a towel and covered with a disposable wee-wee pad that can be changed if an animal soils the pad mid-trip." She also recommends limiting the size of the meal you feed your pet before traveling in case of nausea. 

Dr. Love recommends exercising your pet before travel so they are more relaxed or having someone sit in the backseat with them.

The cost of flying with a pet depends on the airline, where you are flying to, and whether you're flying your pet cargo or traveling with them inside the cabin. For example, Delta charges $95 for domestic flights with a carry-on pet, $75 for flights from the U.S. to Brazil, and $200 for other international flights, and you must contact the airline directly to determine cargo fees. United Airlines charges $125 each way for a carry-on pet for domestic flights. American Airlines charges $125 for a carry-on pet within and between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean (based on each country's entry policy). 

Different airlines have restrictions on the age and breed of pets they allow to travel in the cabin. If your trip includes a voluntary stopover or connection of more than four hours, additional fees may apply for each connection segment. Check with your desired airline for specific pricing and restrictions.

Deciding how long your pet should ride in the car with you will be up to your individual pet. Some dogs may get antsy and need to go on their regularly scheduled walks, burn off energy, and use the bathroom. Monitor your pet during the car ride and check for signs of anxiety.

Tips for Preparing Your Cat for Travel

Traveling with your furry companion can be a wonderful adventure, but it’s important to take the time to prepare your cat so they feel safe and comfortable during the journey. Here are some tips to help you prepare your cat for the trip:

Get Familiar with the Carrier If you plan on using a carrier, it’s important to have your cat get familiar with it beforehand. Leave the carrier open in your home and encourage your cat to explore it. Place treats and toys inside to make it more inviting. This will help your cat feel more comfortable when it’s time to travel.

Practice with Short Trips If your cat isn’t used to traveling, start by taking them on short drives to build up their tolerance. This will help them get used to the sensation and reduce the risk of motion sickness. Gradually increase the length of the trip until they are comfortable traveling for longer periods of time.

Familiarize Them with the Car Before you hit the road, allow your cat to explore the car while it’s parked. This will help them get accustomed to the environment and reduce stress levels during travel. You can also place a blanket or towel with their scent in the car to make it feel more familiar.

Pack Their Essentials Make sure to pack all of your cat’s essentials for the trip. This includes food, water, litter box, litter scoop, medication, vet records, health certificate, and toys to keep them occupied. Remember to bring more than enough supplies in case of any unexpected delays.

Use a Comforting Scent Cats are very scent-oriented animals, so it can be helpful to bring an item with a comforting smell from home. This could be a blanket, toy, or even a piece of clothing with your scent on it. This will help your cat feel more secure and at ease during the trip.

By following these tips, you can help prepare your cat for a safe and stress-free journey. Remember to be patient and understanding during the preparation process, as some cats may take longer to acclimate. With the right preparation, you and your furry companion can enjoy the adventure of traveling together.

Making Travel Arrangements: Choosing Pet-Friendly Transportation and Accommodation

When planning to travel with your feline companion, it’s essential to make travel arrangements that will accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether you’re traveling by plane, car, or train, choosing pet-friendly transportation and accommodation will ensure a safe and stress-free trip for both you and your cat. Here are some tips for making travel arrangements:

Research pet-friendly accommodations: Before booking a hotel or Airbnb, make sure the place allows pets. Some accommodations may have restrictions on the size or number of pets allowed. Look for hotels or rentals that offer pet amenities such as pet bowls, toys, and beds. Also, consider the location of the accommodation and check if it’s near a park or a place where your cat can stretch its legs.

Choose cat-friendly transportation: If you’re planning to travel by plane, check the airline’s pet policy to ensure your cat meets the requirements for flying and to know what documentation is needed. Some airlines only allow pets in-cabin, while others require them to be checked as baggage. If you’re planning to travel by car, consider getting a cat carrier or crate that will keep your cat secure and prevent it from becoming a distraction. Additionally, make sure your cat is comfortable with the carrier or crate by introducing it to the carrier or crate a few weeks before your trip.

Pack cat travel essentials: When traveling with a cat, it’s crucial to pack everything your cat needs. Bring enough food and water for the duration of the trip. Also, bring a litter box and litter scoop, toys, medication, and vet records. If you’re traveling internationally, check the country’s requirements for bringing pets and make sure you have a health certificate and any necessary vaccinations.

Consider your cat’s comfort: Traveling can be stressful for cats, so it’s important to take steps to make them feel comfortable. Bring a familiar blanket or bedding item that smells like home. Additionally, a cat harness and leash can give your cat a chance to stretch its legs outside and explore safely.

By making arrangements that cater to your cat’s needs, you can ensure that your furry companion remains safe, comfortable, and happy throughout your travels.

Traveling by Car with Your Cat: Dos and Don’ts

When it comes to traveling with your feline companion, car trips are often less stressful and overwhelming compared to flying or taking the train. However, there are still some important considerations and precautions you need to take to ensure your cat’s safety and comfort during road travel. Here are some dos and don’ts:

• Invest in a high-quality cat carrier or crate that is comfortable, spacious enough for your cat to move around, and secure enough to prevent escape or injuries in case of an accident.
• Don’t forget to put a comfy blanket or towel along with your cat’s favorite toy or treat inside the carrier to help them relax and reduce anxiety during the journey.
• Consider putting a litter box inside the carrier, especially for long drives, and train your cat to use it before the trip. If there’s not enough space, make sure to take frequent breaks to allow your cat to use the litter box and stretch their legs.
• Bring plenty of food, water, and treats for your cat, and feed them small portions throughout the trip to avoid overeating and throwing up. Make sure to pack spill-proof bowls and bottles and keep them within easy reach.
• Secure the carrier properly in the car to prevent it from shifting or sliding during sudden stops or turns. You can use a safety belt or straps or put the carrier in the back seat or trunk (if there’s enough ventilation and temperature control).
• Test your cat’s reaction to car rides before embarking on a long journey. Take short drives around the neighborhood or to a nearby park to see how your cat behaves and if they need any special care or attention.

Don’ts:

• Never let your cat roam freely inside the car, as they can get hurt, distracted, or lost. Always keep them inside the carrier or crate, no matter how well-behaved or trained they are.
• Don’t leave your cat alone in the car, even for a few minutes, especially in hot or cold weather conditions. Cars can heat up quickly and cause heatstroke or dehydration, or get too cold and cause hypothermia or frostbite.
• Avoid feeding your cat right before or during the ride, as this can trigger motion sickness and nausea. Also, avoid giving your cat any medication without consulting with your vet or following the dosage and the instructions carefully.
• Don’t expose your cat to loud noises, bright lights, or strong smells during the trip, as this can cause stress, anxiety, and sensory overload. Keep the car windows closed, use curtains or blinds, and avoid smoking or spraying perfumes.
• Never force your cat to travel if they are not feeling well or showing signs of illness, injury, or discomfort. Monitor your cat’s behavior and health throughout the journey and seek veterinary care if necessary.

By following these dos and don’ts and preparing your cat for the car trip, you can have a smooth and safe travel experience with your feline friend. Happy travels!

Flying with Your Cat: Airline Pet Policies, TSA Screening, and More

Flying with your furry friend can be a daunting experience for both you and your cat. However, with proper planning and preparation, it can be a manageable and even enjoyable experience. In this section, we will cover airline pet policies, TSA screening, and other aspects of flying with your cat.

Know the Airline Pet Policy: Before booking your flight, it is important to make sure that your airline allows pets onboard. If they do, familiarize yourself with their policies and regulations regarding pet travel. These policies may vary depending on the airline, so be sure to double-check everything. Some airlines may require that pets travel in a specific area of the plane, while others may have size or weight restrictions.

Contact the Airline in Advance: It is recommended that you call the airline well in advance of your flight to inform them that you will be traveling with your cat. You can confirm that your cat meets all their requirements and reserve a space for them on the flight. Keep in mind that most airlines have a limit on the number of pets allowed on each flight, so book early to ensure a spot for your furry friend.

Acclimate Your Cat to the Carrier: If your cat is not used to being in a carrier or traveling, it is a good idea to familiarize them with the carrier before the flight. Leave the carrier out in the open for them to explore and get comfortable. You can also practice taking short car rides with your cat in the carrier to simulate the airplane ride.

TSA Screening: When going through the TSA checkpoint, you will be required to remove your cat from the carrier and place both the cat and the carrier through the X-ray machine. You can hold your cat during the screening process, but be sure to inform the TSA officer that you are traveling with a pet. Also, keep in mind that you may need to remove your cat from their carrier during the security check.

In-Flight Essentials: When flying with your cat, make sure you pack all the essentials in your carry-on luggage. This includes your cat’s food, water, litter box, and any necessary medications. It is also important to bring cat toys or blankets to make your cat feel more comfortable and relaxed during the flight.

Choose a Direct Flight: If possible, it is recommended that you book a direct flight when traveling with your cat. This will minimize the amount of stress your cat experiences by reducing the number of take-offs and landings, as well as transfers between flights.

Final Tips: • Do not sedate your cat before the flight unless advised by your vet. • Attach a collar or harness with identification tags to your cat’s carrier. • Bring all necessary vet records and health certificate for your cat. • Check with your destination regarding any quarantine or pet regulations.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your cat’s flying experience is as stress-free as possible. Remember to plan ahead, pack appropriately, and make sure that your cat is comfortable and well-prepared for the journey. Safe travels!

International Travel with Your Cat: Health Certificates, Quarantine, and Other Considerations

Traveling internationally with a cat requires a bit more preparation and consideration than domestic travel. From obtaining necessary documents to navigating quarantine requirements, international cat travel presents unique challenges. Here is a guide to help you navigate the process and ensure a safe and stress-free trip for you and your feline companion.

Health Certificates and Other Documents Before traveling internationally with your cat, you will need to obtain several important documents. Health certificates are often required by customs officials, airlines, and other authorities as proof that your cat is healthy and up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations. The requirements for health certificates can vary widely from country to country, so it is important to research the specific requirements for your destination well in advance of your trip.

In addition to a health certificate, you may also need to obtain a import/export permit, a microchip certificate, and other documents. Some countries require a waiting period between the time the health examination is conducted and the time of travel, so be sure to allow enough time to obtain all necessary documents.

Quarantine Requirements Many countries require a period of quarantine for cats traveling from other countries in order to prevent the spread of disease. The length of the quarantine period can vary depending on the country and the health status of your cat. Some countries require quarantine at an approved facility, while others may allow quarantine in your own home or another designated location.

It is important to research the quarantine requirements for your destination well in advance of your trip, as failure to comply with these requirements can result in delays, fines, or even the quarantine or euthanasia of your cat.

Airline Policies and Travel Logistics When traveling internationally with your cat, it is important to research the airline policies and procedures for pet travel. Some airlines have restrictions on the number and size of pets allowed in the cabin or in cargo, and may require additional fees and paperwork.

In addition to airline policies, you will also need to consider the logistics of travel with your cat. This includes ensuring that your cat has access to food, water, and a litter box throughout the journey, as well as making sure your cat is comfortable and secure in their carrier or crate.

Preparing Your Cat for International Travel International travel can be stressful for cats, so it is important to take steps to prepare your cat for the journey. This includes gradually acclimating your cat to their carrier or crate, gradually introducing them to the sights, sounds, and smells of travel, and providing plenty of positive reinforcement and treats along the way.

In addition, it may be helpful to consult with your veterinarian about options for anxiety medication or other supplements that can help ease your cat’s stress during travel.

By following these tips and guidelines, you can help ensure a safe and stress-free international trip with your feline companion. Remember to also research cat-friendly accommodations and transportation options at your destination, and to pack plenty of cat travel essentials such as food, water, litter, and toys. Happy travels!

18 Cute Backpacks to Bring Your Cat Everywhere

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

If you’re a cat owner (or know one) and are unfamiliar with the concept of a cat backpack, here’s what’s up: The best cat backpacks give your feline friend a chance to experience the world from the safety of their own little mobile home. If you worry that your indoor-only cat isn’t getting enough fresh air, but don’t want to lug them around in a carrier, a cat backpack is the answer. Whether or not you’ve managed to leash train your kitty, these pet carriers are an easy, safe way to tote your fur babies around—without pulling a back muscle.

I’m a cat parent myself, and I’ll never forget the first time I saw a cat pass me on a Brooklyn street, its tiny, furry face poking through the fishbowl bubble of its owner’s backpack. I LOL’d at first because—come on—a cat in a backpack ? What is this, a Dr. Seuss book? But last year, I bought my own and find it surprisingly useful . The backpack makes an excellent, hands-free pet carrier for travel and trips to the vet, especially since I have two cats (one goes in a handheld carrier; the other I put in my pack). 

As the weather warms, I’ve noticed more and more cat carrier backpacks on the street ( dog backpacks too). Now that they’ve caught on, there’s a whole market for cat backpacks out there. Some feature the trending astronaut bubble window (such as the Lollimeow Pet Carrier Backpack , which any cat lover has doubtless seen on Instagram ), while others are covered in sizable, strong, breathable mesh panels made of anti-scratch material. All of these backpacks have ample air holes for ventilation, and one backpack even has a built-in fan (seriously). Many contain expandable mesh tunnels so your kitty has a roomy area to relax, and most are foldable, airline-approved, and equipped with comfy padded shoulder straps and chest straps. Safety straps and tethers ensure that your cat doesn’t get loose, and side pockets keep water bottles, pet-gear storage, and attachable water bowls close.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best cat backpacks (which can work for small dogs too) from retailers like Amazon, Target, Maxbone, and Chewy featuring popular brands like PetAmi, Texsens, Pecute, and more. You’ll find the top picks for both small cats and large cats, including durable, oxford-cloth options for long walks and hikes, rolling backpacks for air travel, backpacks that act as car seats, and—of course—ridiculously photogenic cat backpacks too. Just be sure to compare your cat’s weight and height with the bag’s measurements before you buy.

Lollimeow Expandable Pet Carrier Backpack

Lollimeow makes the best-selling “bubble backpack” you’ve likely seen on social media . This egg-shaped eye-catcher provides a clear window for the curious cat to gaze out (or the curious bystander to gaze in). The bag, which is available in several colors, comes as a backpack with nine large ventilation holes across the sides and fronts. For a few dollars more, you can choose a model that expands from the front or back (pictured here), so you can unzip it and give your kitty extra space to stretch and explore. There’s also a small side mesh panel that unzips for their head to poke out (or for you to scratch), a storage pocket on the side, and an included two-sided mat that’s fuzzy and waterproof. Should you fret about your baby getting loose, the Lollimeow has a safety latch hook and double zippers for durability.

This backpack is recommended for cats up to 13 pounds and dogs up to 10 pounds.

PetAmi Deluxe Pet Carrier Backpack

PetAmi Deluxe Backpack Dog & Cat Carrier

If durability is your priority, consider the PetAmi Deluxe, which has a thick, padded back and shoulder straps in addition to waist and chest buckles, making it an excellent option for hikers and travelers. This well-ventilated, Sherpa fleece-lined cat backpack has two entry points—via the front and side (helpful if you have a squirming cat). For added safety, both zippers clip together, so that the windows are prevented from opening once your cat is in. The PetAmi offers a handy name tag window, multiple large storage pockets, and a collapsible water bowl that clips on. (Note: If you have an especially slim cat, consider the narrower PetAmi Premium , which is just $25).

This backpack is recommended for pets up to 18 pounds.

Texsens Innovative Traveler Bubble Backpack

For maximum ventilation, your cat may enjoy the Texsens backpack, which has three sides of full, scratch-resistant mesh, one of which rolls down for your furry friend to look around (an internal clip secures your cat’s harness or collar). The pack has padded straps, one adjustable chest strap for added support, and a spongey moisture-wicking back. Perhaps best of all, when not in use, the backpack folds down flat. One cat parent shares that they feel far better about taking their cat out: “We go to the farmers market, she’s comfy, the bottom allows her to make biscuits and be happy, and I don’t have to stress about the nearby doggos.”

This backpack is recommended for cats up to 18 pounds and dogs up to 15 pounds.

Maxbone Go Everywhere Backpack

If you’re on the hunt for a versatile backpack that fits in seamlessly with your everyday life (and doesn’t scream “There’s a cat in here!”), the stylish, streamlined Maxbone carrier bag is for you. The top-of-the-line pack looks like, well, a normal backpack, albeit a very attractive one made of soft neoprene. It has thick, reinforced straps, a chest strap for added relief, and various pockets as well as a D-ring to clip your keys. The inside of the pack is lined with cozy Sherpa fleece on two sides (which you can pull out and throw in the washing machine).

One buyer raves: “I ordered this backpack unsure because of its high price…but I was floored by how perfect everything was. The material is next-level, the feel is immaculate, and there is plenty of pockets and padding. I’ve used it for multiple trips with my cat. The structure is great, it doesn’t hurt my shoulders, there’s good weight distribution, and it’s firm and flexible enough for all situations. I get so many compliments about how awesome it looks. If Lululemon had a pet line, this bag would be in it.”

This backpack is recommended for pets up to 17 pounds.

Petkit Breezy Cat Carrier

PETKIT Breezy Dog and Cat Carrier

If you tend to spoil your cat, here’s a pet carrier backpack that’s like a luxury hotel room on the go.

Another neat feature of the airline-approved Petkit is an LED night light, which gradually glows so as not to startle your cat while still letting you check on them if you’re in a darker environment. 

Amazon shoppers give the Petkit praise for its design and ability to hold larger cats. “The quality of the bag is really impressive for the price,” writes one buyer. “The front of the bag is a sturdy plastic material that has enough ventilation for my cat so that he doesn’t feel like he's suffocating…. The fan and light are really cool and make this backpack more high-tech than others. The light isn't blinding, and the fan is perfect to make sure the bag is properly ventilated.”

Pecute Cat Backpack Carrier

“This has to be one of the best purchases I’ve made for my cat,” writes one of Pecute backpack’s Amazon buyers. “She still lounges in it when I leave it out—with or without the back extension popped out.

The fully foldable Pecute (which is made of waterproof, anti-scratch oxford fabric) has four air holes and three-sided mesh walls for plenty of ventilation. Its expandable back gives your kitty space to stretch, and there’s a built-in safety hook, anti-escape zippers, and two side storage pockets that fit a water bottle and other essentials.

We took our first trip traveling over four states, and this was her shuttle going off on hikes along lakes. It seems to make her feel safe to see the world with full visibility but with the confidence that she’s safe from an approaching curious dog.”

This backpack is recommended for pets up to 10 pounds.

Petsfit Comfort Carrier/Backpack

The backside is completely cushioned with breathable sponge material, and not only does the bag have reinforced straps and a chest strap but a waist strap as well for extra shock absorption.

17 Pet Travel Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed

Thinking about traveling with your pet this year? You’re not alone. As the world reopens post pandemic, folks are indulging their wanderlust and bringing their pets along for the ride. In fact, VRBO’s 2022 Trend Report discovered a “ 40 percent increase in year-over-year demand for pet-friendly vacation homes” and 68 percent of survey respondents said they had either already traveled with pets or planned to in the future. Plus, The 2022 Traveler: Emerging Trends and the Redefined Traveler, a Report from Hilton , said the third most popular booking filter on Hilton.com was for pet-friendly options. Since many people are new to pet ownership (looking at everyone who adopted one when the world shut down), we thought it would be a good idea to identify all of the pet travel products you’ll need when traveling with cats or dogs.

The 26 Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in the Country

1. Dog And Cat Travel Carrier

Whether you’re going on a 2-hour road trip or a cross-country flight, you need a travel carrier. For dogs and cats up to 18 pounds, go for the Diggs Passenger Travel Carrier . Not only does it comply with most airline regulations for in-cabin companions, but it also received the highest score possible by the Center for Pet Safety when crash-tested in vehicles. Plus, it comes with pee pads in case your pet has an accident en route. For larger dogs or other needs, check out our full list of best dog carriers .

2. An Extra Leash

Even if Miss Piggy usually stays in your Birkin, traveling by planes, trains or automobiles can throw a wrench in your normal routine. What if she needs a leash at some point you didn’t account for? You’ll want a back-up in case something goes awry or if you lose one—you wouldn’t want to miss a great hiking trail or beach because your dog wasn’t on leash when it was mandatory.

3. Smart Gps Dog Collar With Updated Tags

Speaking of a leash, smart collars with built-in GPS tracking can ease anxiety about where your dog roams while on vacay. The Link GPS Dog Tracker literally lets you see where your pup is and what their activity levels are through an app. The device itself attaches to any collar or you can buy the Link-Ready Collar designed for the attachment. Add your dog’s tags just in case that battery dies (though a charge lasts 14 days). If a GPS system isn’t your thing, at least invest in a collar with your phone number on it.

4. Pet Document Organizer

Keep all of your pet’s vital info in one spot. While you probably won’t need to access their vaccination records or medical history, having it will come in handy should an emergency arise. Obviously, bring any prescription medication with you; having the dosage and your vet info on hand is helpful in case you need to replenish or replace. Pro tip: Look up the location of veterinary offices or animal hospitals near your destination in advance. That way you won’t be scrambling if a scary scenario presents itself.

5. Pet Passport

Another great way to keep track of your pet’s travels and information. The size of a standard passport (but obviously, not a real passport), this thoughtful booklet includes spots for your pet’s photo, paw print and other identifying information like microchip number, registration, vaccination records and more.

6. Pet First Aid Kit

Having a pet first aid kit on a road trip, camping excursion or out of town adventure is a must. We love the Adventure Medical Kits Workin' Dog Canine First Aid Kit with QuikClot because it comes with instructions and pretty much everything you could possibly need (including a headlamp for you so you can administer first aid with good light and free hands).

7. A Waterproof Blanket

New place? We cannot recommend the PupProtector™ Waterproof Throw Blanket enough. It protects your couch, your car seats, hotel beds and more. Plus, it comes in a zillion different designs. If your animal gets weird about new places or things, try to roll out the blanket before you jet off so that when you unpack it on the road, it feels familiar. Cats especially are very territorial and need to know they have ownership over a space to feel comfortable. A blanket from home that smells like the environment they know and love will work wonders when it comes to spending time in a new place. (And yeah, if they pee on it, it’s waterproof.)

8. Travel-friendly Toys For Active Pets

When you’re in the car or on a plane, no one wants to hear a squeaker toy constantly. Opt for travel-friendly toys that keep your pet entertained without distracting everyone else (including yourself). It may be worth designating a few toys as “travel toys.” These could be special items kept in the car or travel carrier that add excitement (and comfort) to adventures. Bonus points if they make highway pit stops and long stretches in the car easier, like these cat and dog teaser wands.

9. Portable Kibble Carrier

Packing enough food for all the meals you anticipate your pet eating on vacation (and then some, just in case) doesn’t mean lugging a giant bag with you. Grab a tote that makes organizing and storing food, treats and bowls a cinch.

For the Great Outdoors:

For On-the-Go:

10. Calming Treats

As all dog owners know, treats are the key to a dog’s heart—especially when it comes to training and following commands. Calming treats can help ease cat and dog anxiety when it comes to traveling, no matter the method or how many times your pet has traveled before. Always try out calming treats or new supplements before administering them on a trip! If your pet has an adverse reaction you don’t want to be miles away from home.

11. Travel Bowls

Food and water bowls are easy to forget because they’re so obvious. Purchasing travel or portable bowls is a great way to save space at home and when packing. If you can find a two-in-one set up, you’re golden.

12. To-Go Water and Food Bowls

Sometimes there isn’t anywhere to set up shop for a full meal, so you’ll want portable water and food dispensers handy. Ideally, grab one that provides storage for both food and water to cut back on gear you have to lug around.

13. A Commuter Tote Made Just For Your Pet

If you’re lugging Sparky to and from the office day in and day out—or even if the 20-pound corgi just gets tired after walking a couple blocks—it’s easier to just pop the pup in a bag. Because this tote is designed specifically for that scenario, it’s got a built-in leash (genius), interior bedding for peak comfiness (genius) and ergonomic neck scoop for him to rest his weary head (genius).

14. Travel Litter Boxes

Never leave for a vacation without these! Some travel litter boxes are designed to store litter, while others are disposable and come in packs of two or three. Depending on where you’re headed, the type of litter available at your destination and whether or not you want a used litter box in your car on the drive home, it might be smarter to use a fresh disposable one for each leg of the trip.

15. Cleaning Supplies

Whether you’re staying at a pet-friendly Vrbo or grandma’s house, a pet mess is never a good look for a guest. Cleaning supplies are a must. Choose your tools based on your dog’s or cat’s history with inside accidents and indigestion.

16. Dry Shampoo

For some dogs, you can never take a vacation from grooming. Dog people swear by The Dry Shampoo by Rowan when they travel. Small enough to fit in a tiny carry-on, it’s a waterless formula that reduces odor and refreshes between baths for coats of varying lengths. It’s approved by vets and dermatologists, too. Really, anything for a quick refresh (especially on camping-style trips) is helpful.

17. A Dog or Cat Hiking Backpack

For the pups whose legs get tired on a hike but still want to enjoy your company, a bag like the K9 Sport Sack makes it easy for Roscoe to get some rest and still in enjoy the views. For cats, it’s nice to offer something more along the lines of a sensory deprivation tank in the form of this absolutely adorable space capsule backpack . Whiskers will love being perched up high in their movable watchtower where they can scan their surroundings and still feel protected.

I Won't Say the Self-Cleaning Litter-Robot Changed My life, but—OK, It Changed My Life
