Traveling with a Slobbery Dog? Don’t Leave Without This

Planning a road trip or vacation with your slobbery doggo? While traveling with your four-legged furry friend can be a blast, it also comes with some unique challenges—especially if your pup happens to be a drool machine. Whether it’s flying drool, dirty paws, or that not-so-fresh smell, being prepared can make all the difference. Check out these must-have items and dog care tips that will keep your trip smooth (and a lot less messy)!

1. Travel Beds = Comfy Pups

Let’s face it—your dog deserves to be comfy, too. A portable travel bed gives your pup a cozy place to rest, whether you're in a hotel, visiting friends, or camping under the stars. Look for beds that are lightweight, washable, and easy to pack. Bonus points if it has non-slip material on the bottom!

2. Don’t Forget the Portable Water Bottle

Hydration is key, especially during long car rides or outdoor adventures. A portable dog water bowl is a game-changer. Many come with built-in bowls, so your pup can sip without making a mess. It’s a simple dog care tip that keeps your pup happy and hydrated on the go.

3. Wipe Away the Mess (And the Smell!)

Traveling means dirt, slobber, and… other mysteries. That’s where Squishface Wrinkle Wipes come in. These pet-safe wipes are perfect for cleaning your dog’s wrinkles, tear stains, tail pockets, and even their paws. If you have a wrinkly dog like a Bulldog, Pug, or Shar Pei, these dog wipes are a lifesaver. And even if your dog isn’t extra wrinkly, they’re great for freshening up after a long day of travel.

These wipes are alcohol-free and gentle on sensitive skin, making them a smart part of your dog grooming routine—on the road or at home.

4. Got Drool? You Need This.

Some dogs are just born droolers. Think Bulldogs, Saint Bernards, Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, Boxers, and Bloodhounds. These dog breeds have loose jowls that don’t hold back the slobber, especially when they’re excited, eating, or just breathing heavily. That’s where Squishface Slobber Towels come in.

These super-absorbent towels are designed to handle serious drool. Keep one (or three) in your car, travel bag, or pocket to quickly wipe your dog’s mouth before it ends up on your seat, shirt, or face. Not only are they practical, but they’re also a smart way to stay on top of dog grooming while you're away from home.

5. Extra Dog Care Tips for a Smooth Trip

• Bring your dog’s favorite toy or blanket for comfort.

• Pack extra poop bags (because you just never know).

• Take frequent potty breaks to stretch legs and avoid accidents.

• Keep your dog safely restrained in the car with a seatbelt harness or crate.

The Bottom Line:

Traveling with a slobbery dog can be messy, but with the right gear, it’s totally manageable—and even fun! Essentials like a comfy travel bed, a portable water bottle, and pet-safe wipes (like Squishface Wrinkle Wipes for cleaning wrinkles, tear stains, paws, and tail pockets) help keep your pup clean and cozy on the go. For dogs that drool a lot—like Saint Bernards, Mastiffs, and Boxers—Squishface Slobber Towels are a must-have to control the mess. With a few smart dog care tips and a little extra attention to dog grooming, you’ll be ready to hit the road without the stress.
