According to the TPG and Airfarewatchdog.com reader survey, the most popular reason travelers fly with a pet (40.7%) is because they can’t leave their pet at home. Moving to a new location came in second, with 27.4% of the vote. For 21.9% of travelers, it’s the need for emotional support.
I travel full time—sometimes with my 2 Pets. Over the last 4 Years, I have tested a lot of travel gear from Pet carriers to pet bowls. These are the ones I love and stick with trip after trip, these Essential Pet accessories are the most versatile and reliable for my Cats and me.

Pee Pads for Inside My Pet Carrier Plus Extra for at the Airport & Hotel
Our furry friends cannot always hold their bladder–nor should they have to! When flying with Pets, is not only uncomfortable but also unhealthy. So, if your Pet has to pee, you need to let them do their business.
I keep extra pads in my carry-on for time spent in the airport–especially for layovers and flight delays and at the hotel.
Supet Pet 2 in 1 Water Dispenser with Drinking/Food Bowl
I love that this is a 2 in 1 Bottle for both food and water. It holds enough kibble for 1 Day. I measure the 3.4oz allowed by TSA. With the collapsible cup and 1 handed aeration, my Pets stay hydrated but the whole unit takes little space in my carry-on.
