Best Dog Travel Beds for 2022

Made from sturdy oxford fabric on the outside and a polyester lining on the inner, this travel bed is that’s water/grease/scratch resistant, and thanks to the 320g of poly-cotton filling, it will keep your pet comfy and warm as well.

It is incredibly travel-friendly, being that it’s foldable and rolls up easily when not in use. The bed has a hand-carry handle-strap that can also be attached to MOLLE webbing on your bag, so whether you choose to carry it or attach it to your bag, it’s designed to be as convenient and flexible as possible.

Since everything gets a little dirty when hitting the hiking trails, this dog mat is super convenient and can be cleaned with a wet cloth or machine washed.

If you are sleeping outside on a camping trip (or even in a tent) and the warmth dips slightly overnight, you probably will value your sleeping bag. Your dog will happily use one, too.

It doesn’t just offer warmth and protection but is also relatively cushioned below to offer a shield from the harder ground. The heat retention is completely natural, and they can be completely covered thanks to the generous size that’s suitable for a small/medium dog.

As with human sleeping bags, it folds down nice and small for transportation, inside a nice handy bag. There is a side zip for easy entry which you can close when they are safe and snuggled, and the water-resistant fabric is quick to dry, and any dirt can be shaken off.

When you’re home, it can be machine washed. When it is zipped up, it also leaves enough room for them to get out of if they happen to get too warm overnight.

A flat, premium quality bed which has an easy-clean cover, tough zips for security and a waterproof underside.

It is great for use at home or as a temporary travel bed when you are off on a staycation, as well as on day trips or picnics. You can also place it in the car when you are going from A to B, as it is the perfect size for a back seat or estate car boot.

There is a generous choice of sizes, and you can also choose from different colours in case you want it to match the decor or other travel items. Spare covers are also available to purchase, which is great for anyone off on a possibly muddy trip.

The K9 Sport Sleeper describes itself as “the most advanced inflatable dog bed of its kind”. The Klymit technology offers durability, comfort and ease of use, so we’d have to agree.

Because it is inflatable, it is completely portable. Yet you don’t have to forego comfort or practicality. Thanks to the deep welds on the bed, it doesn’t flatten when your dog lies on it. This means they can keep off the cold, hard ground.

It comes in a small carry case that will easily fit inside a pocket in your rucksack. It is also designed to fit the K9 Pop Up Dog Tent in case you want the full collection.

There are two sizes available. The small/medium (20″ x 20″) is ideal for puppies or smaller breeds. If you are looking for something larger, the 30″x 30″ Large – XLarge is ideal. This is definitely a product for anyone wanting something long-lasting and durable.

This may be one of the pricier picks on our list by far, but it is super practical and adaptable – perfect for pups who are always on the go.

It is a calming bed, so ideal if your dog gets anxious when travelling or when away from home. It is primarily designed for use in a car, turning the full half of the backseat into a full bed or a comfy travel booster seat.

There are strong woven handles that allow you to take it on the go, carrying it to your destination. But there are also four points of contact on the bed so you can safely strap it to the backseat and it will stay still.

The bed is made from a durable nano-nylon fabric that protects it from rips, tears, scratches, or even liquid. It will also keep your car safe from mud and damage. When you’re not in the car, the bed lays out flat to give a roomy comfortable base.

Available in midnight blue or coffee.

Want something a bit more luxurious? While it may be retailing around double the cost of some of the others on our list, we still think this bed is well worth a spot on our list.

It is super high quality, and yet the hardwearing polyester cotton fabric is practical too. It is similar to a hooded bed, so your dog can get right in and snuggle down as they wish. When you’re done with your trip, you can simply throw the whole thing in the washing machine.

It’s deeply padded all around, so they won’t be able to feel the ground and it also will keep them really toasty. Available in different sizes, the medium is 79cm x 66cm overall, which gives an internal space of 71cm x 56cm.

This bed isn’t only our best budget pick, but also really easy to use as and when you need it. So, if your dog uses a crate when at home or simply sleeps next to your desk and you don’t want to have to move their normal bed, its placement is really flexible.

It’s available in five different colours, so if you have more than one dog they can each have their own. Water-resistant and durable, the 1200D oxford material is waterproof. It only needs a wipe to get rid of hair and mud, but can be washed by hand too.

There’s a dotted non-slip base, and it is lightweight to carry. Our main niggle is that it’s a bit bulky to carry, so maybe best for anyone with a car rather than on foot.

When you are camping in Summer, it can get quite hot and stuffy in a tent – especially when you have furry four-legged friends in there, too. You may also want a day on the beach or in the park and want to take them with you.

This dog shelter will give them their own space during the day, and most importantly will shelter them from the blaring sun. Overheating for dogs is just as dangerous as it is for humans and they can’t self-regulate as easily, especially when you are all socialising and they just want to be involved. That’s why the breathable mesh windows are perfect for keeping your pets cool in the hot sun.

You can wipe it clean if it becomes dirty, and it will also protect from rain or wind if the great British weather takes a turn.

When protection from the hard ground is the most vital thing, this pad is ideal. It is compact, yet the foam insulation offers both heat and softness.

It has a waterproof base so is still great if the ground is a bit damp, or if it is just cold. The whole thing folds or rolls up into a small bundle to make it easier to carry in a rucksack, great if you are on-the-go.

It can also be used on the seats or in the boot of a car, or on a surface such as the sandy beach for offering some comfort.

Off camping when the weather is warm? You lucky thing.

Your dog will likely benefit from a raised, cool bed though. The hard floor won’t be very comfortable, and if you want to keep them off your own sleeping arrangements, they will need something of their own.

The benefits of a raised bed go way beyond being cooler than thick padded material. You can store things underneath, so it takes up less room – great if you’re in a compact tent. It all collapses really small, too. As long as you take an alan key with you, it is simple to build back up too.

A bit more faff than the others on our list, but if it will make things more comfortable it is worth it.
