Large budget gifts for dog owners who travel
#1 Pet supplies bag
People who travel with their furry friends have to pack stuff for both themselves and their dogs.
And surely, they can try to squeeze that into one bag. But it’s hard to organize all that in one bag. And that’s where this bag from PetAmi comes in.
It’s specifically designed for traveling dog owners, with special compartments that fit food containers and other stuff you need for your dog. Plus it has an extra strap at the back, so it can easily be attached to the collapsible handle of a suitcase.
#2 Car seat covers for dog owners
This is one of the best gifts for dog owners who travel by car. Because no matter how much they love their dog, nobody loves having dog hair everywhere, especially not in your car. But with this seat by Furryfection that’s a thing of the past.
The seat is specifically designed to protect a car from getting covered by hair. It’s machine washable, waterproof, and there is a special opening for the seatbelt, so they can still transport their doggo safely. (Check out #3 and #14 for more safety gifts for people who often take their dog in a car).
#3 Mobile pet bed for small dogs
This is another great tool for people who often take their dog in a car, the portable sleepypod.
The sleepypod is quite a robust bag that you can also safely attach to a seatbelt. It’s perfect for smaller dogs, though it’s not the easiest bag to carry. If you are looking for a backpack to carry a dog, check out the next gift!
#4 Dog carrier backpack
This backpack is another great gift for people with a small dog. It’s especially great for people who love to go for long walks or hikes, but whose tiny pals can’t keep up with them.
They can simply put their dog in the backpack and carry them the rest of the way.
But if the recipient owns a larger dog, a backpack might not be the most practical gift. For those, check out gift #9.
#5 GPS tracker
It’s every dog owner’s biggest nightmare; to lose their best friend.
So gift them the peace of mind of always knowing their dog’s location with this GPS tracker!
GPS trackers are especially great gifts for traveling dog owners because they visit new and unknown places to both the dog and the owner.
#6 GoPro fetch harness
Personally, I would say this is one of the coolest gifts for dog owners who travel.
Of course, they need to own a GoPro, but if they do. This harness will allow them to make cool videos of them and their doggo traveling!
#7 Camping mat for dogs
This is one of the best gifts for traveling dog owners who love to go camping! A camping mat for their dog.
The mat is waterproof, odor-resistant, and can easily be cleaned. And last, but definitly not least for camping lovers, the camping mat can be rolled up to fit in a small packing bag.

#8 Sleeping bag for dogs
Are you looking for gifts for traveling dog owners who often travel to cold destinations?
Then this gift to keep their doggo warm is perfect! The bag is waterproof, so it can also be used as a sleeping mat too. And the best thing is the fact that it’s machine washable.
#9 Pet stroller
This Pet Rover stroller is an aweomse gift idea for people who have a large dog and who love to go on long hikes or walks.
If their dog gets tires, they can simply carry him or her around in this stroller!
There is one thing to keep in mind though.
This stroller is really built for taking your dog for a walk, not a run. The two front wheels don’t turn fast enough for dog owners to run safely with it.
#10 Backpacks for dogs
This super cool backpack for dogs to wear is perfect for doggos who often go on hikes with their owners.
That way, the dog can also bring some things along, so the owner doesn’t need to carry all the weight.
#11 Waterproof fleece vest
This is one of the coolest gifts for dog owners who travel to cold destinations. A waterproof fleece vest that not only keeps their dog warm and dry but also makes them look super cool.

#12 Cooling vest
Just as humans, doggies need to keep their body temperatures within a certain range. And when they’re traveling to hot places, they may need a little extra help with that.
And that’s when this cooling vest comes in.
It’s not just a cool vest, but it will also help the dog to cool down. It needs to be soaked in water before it’s put on the dog, and through a 3-layered system the cold water will reach the dog and cool him down.
Besides that, it’s also UV protective, to protect the dog from sunburns (yes, dogs can get sunburned too!).
#13 Pet first aid kit
Are you looking for gifts for traveling dog parents who love taking their dogs on a hike?
Then a first aid kit like this one is an unmissable item for them!
It contains everything they need to help their dog when something happens, such as eye washes, tick removers, a pocket handbook, and a lot more.
If you truly care about the recipient’s dog, this would be the best gift.
Mid-budget gifts for dog owners who travel
#14 Dog seatbelt harness
This SlowTon seatbelt harness is one of the best-rated harnesses to transfer dogs safely in a car. And that makes it the perfect gift for people who often travel with their dogs by car.
The SlowTon harness is available in five different sizes, so you can get the one that fits the recipient’s dog.
#15 Dog life vest
This is one of the best gifts for dog owners who travel by boat (aka boaters) or for dog owners who love taking their furry friends to the beach.
With this life vest, they will never have to worry about their dog drowning if they ever jump or fall off the boat. Or when they are taken away by the current at the sea, this life vest will make sure the dog stays afloat.
#16 Travel mug with dog photo
I think this is one of the best gifts for dog owners who travel and who love coffee.
A travel mug with a photo of their doggo!
#17 Colorful dog leash
Alright, I’ll admit. A dog leash may not be the most exciting gift for a dog owner. But it’s definitely a practical one. Plus who wouldn’t like these colorful leashes?
#18 Dog shoes
Whether dogs are walking on hot pavements or in snow, their paws need to be protected. And these boots can protect a dog’s paws in all weather conditions.
Which makes them great gifts for all traveling dog owners, regardless of the destination.
They are available in eight different sizes, so they can fit any dog’s paws. And most importantly, they have been rated as one of the best boots or socks for dogs on Amazon.

#20 Portable water dispenser
This is another one of the great gifts for traveling dog parents who love to take their dogs on a hike or a walk.
With this dispenser, they can easily give their dog some refreshments during these hikes.
#21 French macaron dog treats
Who said macarons are only for humans?
You can now find French macarons that are specifically designed for dogs to eat!
This is by far one of the best gifts for traveling dog parents who love France and who would love to introduce French cuisine to their dogs.
Small budget gifts for dog owners who travel

Personalized name tags are not just great gifts for traveling dog parents, but also for dog parents who stay at home.
You can get the dog’s name engraved on one side and the owner’s contact details on the other.
#25 Sunscreen for dogs
I know, I was quite surprised when I first heard this too. But apparently, dogs can get sunburned too and thus need sun protection.
So if you are looking for a thoughtful gift to keep their doggo safe and healthy, then this bottle of dog sunscreen is a great gift idea.
#26 Dog butt coloring book for adults
This coloring book for adults is filled with dog butts. It’s one of my favorite funny gifts on this list.
#27 Treat pouch
A treat pouch is super practical for traveling dog owners who want to train their dogs while traveling. Or for dog owners who simply love treating their dogs.
With the pouch, the treats are readily available.
Plus it comes with a poop bag dispenser, and two zippers to store important items such as a phone or keys.
#28 Collapsible bowl
If you are looking for practical gifts for traveling dog owners, then a collapsible bowl is always a good idea.
The bowl is lightweight and can easily be folded and clipped on a backpack once the dog has finished eating or drinking.
#29 Sustainable paw wipes
These wipes also make great practical gifts for traveling dog owners, because they allow the dog owner to clean their dog’s paws wherever and whenever.
And what’s even greater is that they’re plant-based, and thus great for sustainable travelers too.
#30 Rubber portable shower head
This is another one of the great gifts for traveling dog owners who like to keep things clean!
The rubber head fits on most soda bottles (not on water bottles though) and turn it into a portable shower to help the owner clean their dog after a muddy day!
