You may not really feel like taking a bunch of dog bed furniture with you if you’re going on a trip, if you’re taking your pooch along. But if you’re flying, you’ll certainly have to bring your dog’s crate, and that might serve as its bed too, when you finally arrive at your destination. Going by car, though, opens up other options, and revives the question of where exactly your canine friend will sleep at night. If you can find a pet dog bed that doesn’t take up a lot of space, then you should bring it along.

Making the bed compact is important with your limited space. One possibility is a small dog bed you can roll up and slip into a fabric pack, the same as a sleeping bag. These durable beds are machine washable too, which would take care of the wear and tear from traveling. A fold-up dog bed is another option for compact beds. This sort of bed is usually made of several foam panels that can be opened out into a comfortable mattress at night, and then folded back into a small bundle. It usually has a strap or handle, so you can carry it to your next destination.

There are other types of beds that would work as well. Some outdoor dog beds are sturdy enough to handle things if you’re roughing it and going camping or staying in a cabin. You can find beds that are actually cots, with strong metal or plastic frames, for example. This sort of pet dog bed would lift your canine companion above rough floor surfaces, and also provide more support for dogs with creaky joints. And in the morning, it would be easy to dismantle.

However, the crate may ultimately be the best choice for a pet dog bed when you are traveling, especially if your dog is already used to sleeping in one. The point is to keep your companion both comfortable and safe. The dog may be used to roughing it, or may have special physical needs you need to take care of. The kind of pet bed you take with you, if you take any at all, will be determined by all these factors. The important thing is for both of you to have a worry-free trip.
