Traveling with your four-legged buddy can be the greatest joy—or a total nightmare. It all depends on how well you prepare—and honestly, whether your dog barks in your ear the entire ride or decides to create their own little "checkpoint" on the seat. But don’t worry! We’ve got tips to help you head off on holiday in style, safely, and with minimal fur in your hair (and on your seats). Plus, we’ll show you a few products that can turn your dog into a world-class travel pro.

🚦 Before You Go: Before Your Dog Jumps into the Trunk

Vet check first! Even if your pup seems fit as a fiddle, traveling—especially abroad—requires a valid vaccination certificate, an international pet passport, and, in many countries, a microchip. Rabies vaccination is an absolute must, but don’t forget parasite prevention, either. Mosquitoes and ticks are not the kind of souvenirs you want from your holiday.

Travel documents aren’t just for humans. Your dog needs a passport, complete with all the necessary vet stamps: rabies vaccination, deworming, identification details—the full package. And heads-up—it’s not just for trips abroad! Even within the EU (and yes, even for popular spots like Croatia), a pet passport is required.

And while you’re handling the passport and microchip, don’t forget to check if your pet is registered in the national pet registry. A chip is great, but if it’s not linked to your contact info in a database, it’s like having an ID card that no one can look up. Registration only takes a few minutes online—and then you’re good to go: your dog is officially logged, traceable, and ready to become a legitimate globetrotter.

🚗 The VIP Dog Road Trip

Traveling by car is usually the most comfortable option for dogs. But comfort doesn’t mean your pup should be free-roaming from the front seat to the back. Drivers are legally obligated to make sure pets don’t endanger road safety—including the safety of the driver, passengers, or the animal itself. That means no loose dogs climbing onto your lap while driving or being at risk in case of sudden braking. Safety first! And here comes our hero:

🛋️ Reedog Trip – A Car Seat Even Humans Would Love

Stylish, safe, and super cozy—this Reedog dog car seat is the ultimate in canine comfort. It’s easy to install, fits both front and back seats, and gives your dog a throne of their own. It also keeps your car upholstery clean and doubles as a travel bed once you reach your destination. Multifunctional? Yes, please.

🧼 Reedog Seat Covers: Saving Interiors (and Sanity)

If your dog comes back from the beach looking like a mobile mud puddle, seat covers are a must. Reedog covers are waterproof, easy to clean, and fit your car like a glove. Perfect for those who love dogs but not dog hair in every crevice of their car.

🔗 Reedog Safety Belts: Small Detail, Huge Difference

The unsung hero of dog car travel? The safety belt. This sleek little gadget from Reedog could do more than just keep your ride peaceful—it could save a life. Clip one end into your car’s regular seatbelt socket, attach the other to your dog’s harness, and your pup is secured but still comfy. Stylish, practical, and—most importantly—safe. Just what every road trip companion should be.

🧼 Car Beds for Dogs: For a Comfy Rest at the Destination Too

Travel dog mats and car beds are a fantastic way to ensure your four-legged friend travels in comfort and safety. They provide a cozy space that reduces travel stress while protecting your car’s interior from fur and mess. With removable, washable covers, they’re easy to clean and keep hygienic. Plus, they come in different sizes and colors—so you’ll find the perfect match for both your car and your dog.

✈️ Flying High: Stress-Free Sky Travel (Well, Almost)

Flying with a dog isn’t for everyone—but sometimes, there’s no other option. First, check if the airline allows pets in the cabin and what type of carrier they require. If you’ve got a smaller breed, you might be able to keep them with you in the cabin—as long as the carrier meets airline regulations.

Most airlines allow small dogs and cats to fly in the cabin if their total weight (including the carrier) doesn't exceed 8 kg (around 17.5 lbs). Larger pets must travel in the cargo hold. And now, enter the gamechanger:

🎒 Petkit Backpack – A Futuristic Carrier for Your Jet-Set Pet

It has vents, LED lights, ventilation, and style. And room for your furry passenger to enjoy a business class view. No one will miss you at the airport with this backpack—you'll look like a travel influencer with a pet tiger. And the dog? He'll be happy to hide in his high-tech bunker.

🌞 Summer, Heat & Dogs: A Deadly Combo?

Unfortunately—yes. Summer and soaring temperatures can be genuinely dangerous for our four-legged friends. When the mercury starts climbing, remember that dogs barely sweat, making it much harder for them to cool down. Whether it’s a short walk, a mountain hike, or a drive, it's crucial to know that a dog's body is far more sensitive to overheating than ours.

While we can chill in the shade or splash some cold water on ourselves, dogs take much longer to cool down—and that makes them far more vulnerable. The biggest risk? Enclosed spaces like cars.
NEVER leave your dog in a parked car, not even for a “quick” minute. Even if you’re just running in to grab an ice cream, the temperature inside the car can skyrocket to lethal levels within minutes. Even when it’s “only” 25°C (77°F) outside, the inside of a car can hit 40°C (104°F)—a temperature that can be deadly to dogs almost instantly.

💧 Hydration Saves Lives

The Reedog Travel Bottle is a must-have gadget. Press a button with one hand, water flows into a built-in bowl, and your dog drinks. Any leftover water goes right back into the bottle. Genius. You can clip it onto your backpack, and it comes in two sizes. In short: an elegant solution for thirsty snouts. Staying hydrated is key not just for your dog’s health and comfort, but as one of the easiest ways to help them beat the heat!

🏞️ Outdoor Adventures: Hikes, Hills, Forests & Fields

Planning to take your furry companion on a mountain trip? Great idea! But before you both charge into the wild, it’s good to know the rules about dogs in nature. In some countries, it’s not just about being respectful—it’s also a matter of law. And trust us, some fines can be pretty steep.

Leashes are mandatory in protected landscape areas and national parks. Dogs can disturb nesting birds, threaten endangered wildlife, or damage fragile ecosystems. In areas like Šumava, Krkonoše, or Jeseníky, free-roaming dogs are taken very seriously—and not just with a warning look.

So when can your dog be off-leash? Basically, only when it’s not explicitly forbidden, your dog has 100% reliable recall, and you're not in a protected or forested area. Some municipalities have designated dog parks or off-leash zones—but you'll find those more in cities than in the great outdoors. Luckily, there’s a smart solution!

🔗 Reedog Long Training Leash: Freedom Under Control

Long, strong, yet lightweight—that’s the Reedog training leash. Perfect for recall training, outdoor adventures, or exploring new terrain. Available in 5, 10, or 15 meters, it gives your pup plenty of freedom while keeping them within safe reach. Made of high-quality nylon that’s smooth, flexible, and comfy to handle.

🐾 Reedog Harnesses: Comfort Meets Style

These designer harnesses are made from lightweight, breathable material with eye-catching prints. The ergonomic shape won’t pull or rub, making them ideal for dogs who tend to tug—no strain on the neck. Adjustable straps ensure a snug fit, and a D-ring makes it easy to attach any leash.

🎛️ Reedog Retractable Leashes: Flexibility + Safety

Reedog’s premium retractable leashes come with reflective tape and side decals on the handle for better visibility. The reliable D-lock braking system lets you quickly stop or lock the leash at any length, and the tape never tangles—no matter the angle. Available in different sizes for dogs up to 12 kg, 25 kg, or even 50 kg.

📍 GPS Trackers: Peace of Mind on Every Trail

Track your dog’s location in real-time with Reedog’s GPS devices like the Tractive GPS DOG 4. These smart trackers also monitor your dog’s activity levels and ensure that you can find them fast in case they wander off.

🔖 PawView Smart ID Tag: Modern-Day Dog ID

The PawView smart tag is equipped with a QR code that, when read, will display important information about your pet and a full digital profile. The tag offers features such as monitoring walks, dog health, and tracking vet visits via a smartphone app. It's lightweight, waterproof, and easy to attach to a collar.

🎒 Travel Smart, Travel in Style

Carrying small dogs or cats isn't just about comfort—it’s also about style and practicality. The right carrier bag can transform the entire trip—no more awkward arm holds or yowling pet beds crammed into a shopping tote. Reedog pet bags are designed to combine elegance, functionality, and comfort—for both you and your four-legged passenger.

Made from high-quality eco-leather, these bags don’t just look good (and let’s be honest—they look amazing), they’re also scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and odor-free. The adjustable shoulder strap makes carrying a breeze, even over longer distances. And let’s be real—with one of these bags on your shoulder, you’ll look like you just stepped off the runway at Fashion Week—not like you just survived a two-hour car ride with your dog.

Wherever you go, a stylish pet bag makes life easier and turns heads in all the right ways. Because let’s face it: you’re not making much of an impression with a Tesco plastic bag. Reedog gets it right—with smart design, real quality, and a whole lot of love for pets and their humans.
