Inflatable Bed
Why not try an inflatable air bed for your pet on your next trip or for warm outdoor rest options? This flexible solution will calm and please your dog. Inflatable air mattresses outlast dog beds. Also, their shape-retaining structure ensures your pet always sleeps comfortably. Some types have pumps and inflate or deflate in minutes.
![](https://funcatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/10.-Inflatable-Bed-1024x1024_img_64e714a095ac8.jpg)
Improving sleep quality and comfort is the goal. The cushioned “lip” on the edge of most dog beds allows dogs to rest their precious heads. Additionally, the bed’s PVC structure makes it scratch-proof and durable. A soft, cozy fleece blanket is then delicately put over the bed.
BumBag With Poop Bag Access
Since you want easy access to all your dog’s stuff when traveling or walking around the park, a bum bag is a good idea. You can bring treats, poo bags, leashes, and balls for the walk. A lovely cross-body bumbag eliminates the need for hefty backpacks.

Travel Tote
Your dog’s travel bag should be big enough to fit all its favorite stuff but not too heavy to carry. Go for a bag that has some extra space so you can stash any extra stuff you might find. Also, pick one that fits your dog’s size and breed.
![](https://funcatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/40.-Travel-Tote.png)
