Jet-Set Pets: 7 Must-Have Amazon Items for Stress-Free Travel with Your Furry Sidekick
Traveling with pets can be a joyful, chaotic, snack-filled, tail-wagging adventure—or a total mess of forgotten poop bags and spilled cat food all over the gate waiting area. The secret to keeping your cool (and theirs)? Being organized and overly prepared—with the right travel gear that works as hard as you do.
Lucky for you (and your furry jetsetter), I’ve rounded up my Top 7 Amazon must-haves for pet parents on the move. Each one has been picked with comfort, convenience, and security in mind. Let's pack smart and travel easy!
Pet Travel Bag
The ultimate organizer for cat and dog parents alike! I really like this super sturdy bag that includes two airtight food containers, two collapsible silicone bowls, and even an easy to clean travel mat. It has multiple pockets with magnetic clips in the front pockets, mesh pockets on the back and inside compartment. It keeps everything in one place—no more digging through your suitcase for treats, wipes or poop bags. It’s really easy to carry and there’s so much room in the main compartment that it makes it convenient to add in some of my personal items. Plus, it looks chic and makes you feel like the CEO of Pet Travel.
Roll-Up Waterproof Pet Feeding Mat
Mess? Never heard of it. This colorful, easy-to-clean silicone mat protects hotel floors, car seats, and Airbnb rentals from mealtime chaos. Rolls up neatly and slips right into your travel bag like a pro.
Collapsible Portable Cat Litter Box
Honestly, your cat has standards, and this box meets them. It’s foldable, compact and portable but pops open into a full-sized litter box when nature calls. Waterproof, lightweight, and a total game changer for trips with your feline royalty -mine are spoiled. This fits great into the pet travel bag above and perfect for when you’re staying with friends or family or in a hotel room.
Comfy & Compact Pet Carrier
Your fur baby deserves first-class lounge treatment. A cozy, airline-approved pet carrier gives them a soft, secure spot while keeping them close. I love that I can check on my cat through any of the three mesh sides. It is surprisingly durable and sturdy and easy to carry a 16lb cat. The product description says not to take this on a couple of the airlines (Southwest being one of them) but I have had no problem traveling with my cat in it. Something to think about for sure when purchasing.
AirTag Collar
Mackenzie, my main coon cat, ran out my front door once and since then she’s been wearing the pink version of this collar. So, take it from me, this is great for the “just in case” moments you never want to have. An AirTag pet collar means you can track your little explorer wherever they roam. Whether you’re camping in the woods or strolling a city sidewalk, peace of mind = priceless. Don’t forget the AirTags!!
Earth Rated Pet Wipes
Think baby wipes… but for paws, fur, and adorable post-travel messes. These hydrating and deodorizing wipes are gentle, great-smelling, and perfect for freshening up on the go. They do come in a variety of scents but I like the unscented ones. I keep a pack in my pet travel bag and close to where my cats roam.
A Waterproof Pet Blanket
This waterproof pet blanket is one of those travel essentials you don’t realize you need until you’re in the middle of a muddy mess or a chilly hotel room with a nervous fur baby. It’s washable, cozy, and warm—aka perfect for keeping your pet comfy wherever you land. But it’s more than just a soft layer: it becomes a familiar, comforting “home base” for your pet, especially in unfamiliar places. Whether you're dealing with accidents, drool, or a post-park roll in mystery goo, the waterproof layer has your back (and your rental car seats). Think of it as a portable hug that keeps your travel buddy happy, clean, and a whole lot calmer.
Your Sanity (Just Kidding… Kind Of)
With all of these items packed and prepped, traveling with your pet doesn’t have to feel like a wild guessing game. You’ll have everything organized, from feeding to clean-ups to emergency treats, and your furry companion will feel comfy, clean, and cared for.
So if your next adventure involves paw prints and tail wags, do yourself a favor and stock up. Your future, well-packed self will thank you.
