Our pups are members of our family and bringing them along for the ride when we travel is all a part of the fun. For Mother’s Day this year, give the dog moms in your circle something that is not only useful and practical, but also, thoughtful. The below gifts acknowledge the love that exists between human and human’s best friend.

AirFoam Bolster Dog Bed with Fleece

Whether you’re at home, in an Airbnb, or on the road, you’ll want to make sure your pet has a comfy place to rest. Orvis makes dog beds in a variety of sizes and shapes, making it easy to find exactly what you need. From memory foam couches to wrap-around cradles with fleece to platform styles, there’s much to choose from. The Orvis AirFoam Bolster Dog Bed with Fleece, $359—$479, comes in three different colors and four different sizes. The bolster gives your pet a place to rest their head. Easy to clean and transport from car to hotel to home, this one is a solid choice.

Me & My Dog Medical Kit; Adventure Series

Hopefully you’ll never need one, but just in case you do, make sure you have a fully stocked medical kit in your car if you’ll be transporting your beloved dog from point A to point B. Adventure Medical Kits makes a helpful Trail Dog Medical Kit, $25, full of things your pal might need on the trail. From dressings and bandages in all shapes and sizes to tools that can help with tick or thorn removal, the most common things you might need are all here.

High-quality dog leashes and collars

A brand known for making hardwearing, strong, and durable clothing, Carhartt has also designed great products for dogs. From safety vests, coats, and harnesses to beds that will stand the test of time to sherpa-lined blankets to chew toys, Carhartt is a one-stop shop in many ways. Choose the Nylon Duck Blanket Strip Dog Collar, $20, and matching leash, $30. Rest assured, your pet will be safe on all those roadside potty breaks.

Boomer Dog Bowl 8 in Seafoam

Traveling can be exhausting, especially if you have far distances to go. Don’t forget to bring along a water and food bowl for your special pet. Yeti makes much more than coolers and tumblers. Check out their line of high-grade dog bowls. The Boomer 8 Dog Bowl, $50, is dent-resistant and can be used to water and feed your hound. Choose from fun colors like Seafoam or Bimini Pink and you’ll be ready for adventure. The best part: this dog bowl can be tossed in the dishwasher when it needs to be cleaned.

Dog moms love thoughtful jewelry too. Tough as a Mother Tribe makes high-quality bespoke necklaces, where you can choose your own golden letter for the Custom Initial Necklace, $40. Surprise the dog mom in your life with the initial of her pet on a 14K gold-filled chain. The trick is only buying one, but we understand if you want one for yourself too.

Road trip travel means that there will usually be a lot of loose items floating around the car. Make it easy to find dog leashes, bags of treats, and blankets with the aid of a large carry-all. The stylish Chatelet Air 2.0 from Delsey Paris, $80, is foldable, made to last, and perfect for travel. Choose from four fun colors. The zippered top will keep all the essentials together and easily at-hand.

Matching dog and human pajamas

For something unique and fun, give the dog mom in your life a colorful matching pet and owner pajama set from Tella Couture. Just think about how cute her Instagram nine will be, full of photographs of her and her dog in coordinating sets as they romp around hotels and vacation rentals. The Loki Matching Pajamas in Ruby, $85, are satin pajamas with a signature white trim piping and black buttons. Easy to wear, these outfits are also super comfortable and soft.

While on the road, keeping pets comfortable and warm while also secure is super important, especially if pets are anxious travelers. The Kelty Galactic Down Blanket, $130, is not only bright and colorful, but also, perfect for the car—either for pets or humans. Designed to be lightweight, compact, and warm, this blanket also has a durable shell. Use the stuff sack when not in use. Easy.

I'd Rather Be with My Dog

The dog lovers in your crew will appreciate a pair of socks from Lavley that state, “I’d Rather Be with My Dog”, $12. These novelty crew socks are comfortable and a bit silly—but, what dog mom wouldn’t want a pair? Moms can wear them at the dog park, at home, or while traveling to remind them of their furry pals when they’re not together.

If you’re like most folks, coffee is vital while road tripping. Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. has a strong mission to help rescue organizations that provide safe havens for dogs. 20% of all proceeds, in fact, go toward these initiatives. The Off Trail Bundle is perfect for on-the-go travel because it includes a box of single serve coffee pouches that can be added to hot water and enjoyed in the Camp Out Camping Tin.
