What Is Pet Furniture and Travel Gear?

Pet furniture gives pets their own places to rest, scratch, climb and play at home, while pet travel gear keeps them safe and comfortable on the move. Together, pet furniture and travel gear cover a pet's life at home and away.

Travel retailers such as Wunderpets group carriers, dog backpacks, strollers, car seats, travel bowls and travel beds as pet travel essentials. HowStuffWorks lists items such as portable water bowls and seat covers among the essential pet travel accessories.

Our pet furniture and travel collection combines both: everyday cat furniture for the home and carriers, car gear and portable shelters for trips.

What's in Our Pet Furniture and Travel Collection?

The collection lists 220 products, and 219 were in stock when we updated this page on October 5, 2026. Prices run from $10.19 to $992.27, with a median starting price of $24.73.

Groups come from product titles on October 5, 2026, and counts are approximate since some items fit several groups.

Pet Carriers and Backpacks

A good carrier is the most important piece of pet furniture and travel gear, keeping your pet secure and calm on vet visits, errands and trips. Our pet furniture and travel range includes backpacks, slings and carrier bags.

Cat and small-dog backpacks

Backpack carriers leave your hands free on walks and public transport. The Portable Cat Backpack for Spring Outing Adventures costs $14.97 to $16.89, the Dog Carrier Backpack for Small Dogs costs $25.62 to $31.86, and the Portable Breathable Cat Backpack, Large Capacity Expandable, costs $43.60.

Expandable backpacks open into a larger space during breaks, giving your pet room to stretch.

Sling carriers

Slings hold small pets close to your body. The Pet Sling Carrier for Small Dogs and Cats with Adjustable Strap costs $15.43 to $16.64, which suits short outings and calm, small pets.

Carrier bags

Soft-sided carrier bags are light and easy to carry. The Medium Portable Breathable Dog and Cat Carrier Travel Bag costs $28.57 to $36.43, and the Pet Carrier Bag with Locking Zippers costs $32.60 to $65.12.

Locking zippers help stop clever cats from nosing their way out.

Wheeled carriers

For longer walks through airports or stations, wheels take the weight off your shoulders. The Pet Carrier Backpack with Wheels, Foldable Travel Trolley for Cats and Dogs, costs $100.07.

Choosing the right carrier size

The AVMA advises choosing a crate or carrier big enough for your pet to stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably (AVMA, Pets in Vehicles). Measure your pet's length and height while standing, and compare those numbers with the carrier's inside dimensions.

Check the weight limit too, and choose good ventilation on at least two sides.

Car Travel Gear

Car trips are where pet furniture and travel gear matter most for safety, so choose car items carefully.

Dog car seats

A dog car seat raises small dogs so they can see out while staying secured. The Dog Travel Car Seat, Pet Carrier for Small and Large Dogs, costs $36.76 to $41.45.

Seat cover hammocks

Seat covers protect upholstery from hair, mud and scratches. The Premium Dog Car Seat Cover Hammock with View Mesh Design costs $29.91 to $41.60, and its mesh window lets your dog see you from the back seat.

Keeping pets safe in the car

The AVMA says pets should be restrained in vehicles with an appropriate safety restraint, crate or carrier, and advises positioning the crate or carrier as near to the center of the vehicle as possible and securing it to prevent movement. It also says it isn't safe for a pet to ride in the passenger seat.

Most importantly, the AVMA warns never to leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle, no matter the outdoor temperature or how long you'll be gone. Cars can heat up quickly even on mild days.

Pair a car seat or seat cover with a car-safe restraint and tether. Our collars and leashes collection includes body restraints that clip to car tethers.

Portable Pet Tents and Kennels

Portable shelters are some of the most versatile pet furniture and travel items, giving pets a familiar den at campsites, hotels and friends' homes. They fold flat for storage and travel.

The Cat Tent, Portable and Foldable Hideaway, costs $23.09, the Pet Tent Kennel, Portable Cozy Shelter for Dogs and Cats, costs $44.69 to $53.12, and the One Piece Collapsible Cloth Kennel Tent costs $112.72.

For outdoor trips, the Pet Outdoor Loft Bed, a covered camp bed with a sunshade tent, costs $42.78 to $44.54 and keeps pets off hot or damp ground.

Travel Bowls and Feeding

Fresh water matters on every trip, so a travel bowl belongs in every pet furniture and travel kit. The Travel Dog Bowl Set, Foldable Food and Water Bowl with Carabiner, costs $12.29 to $32.79 and clips to a bag or leash.

Offer water at every stop, and pack your pet's usual food to avoid stomach upsets. At home, our water fountains, such as the Wireless Sensor Cat Water Fountain ($39.73), encourage cats to drink more.

Pet Furniture for Home

The furniture side of our range keeps pets happy between trips, and it's the largest part of our pet furniture and travel lineup. Most of it is designed for cats, with plenty that suits small dogs too.

Cat scratchers

Scratchers protect your sofa and give cats an outlet for a natural behavior. Our range includes about 114 scratcher titles, such as the Accordion Cat Scratching Board with Bell ($24.61) and sisal and cardboard loungers.

Offer both vertical and horizontal surfaces, and place scratchers near where your cat sleeps and in busy rooms. For more styles, browse our cat scratching posts collection.

Cat trees and climbers

Climbing towers give indoor cats exercise and a high lookout. The Sisal Cat Scratching Post with Climbing Tower costs $32.33, and larger climbers reach $292.36. See our cat trees collection for more.

Secure tall towers to the wall so they can't tip when cats jump on and off.

Beds, nests and loungers

Enclosed nests and semi-enclosed tents give shy cats a safe hideaway. The Felt Snow Mountain Tent Semi-enclosed Pet Bed costs $20.32, and the Cat Tent Bed Frame costs $46.94 to $47.52.

Portable beds double as travel beds, so your pet has a familiar place to sleep wherever you go.

Water fountains and feeders

Moving water encourages many cats to drink more. Our water fountains range from $13.13 to $92.65, and slow feeders and foraging mats make mealtimes more engaging.

Planning a Trip With Your Pet

Good planning makes travel easier for everyone, and the right pet furniture and travel gear does much of the work. The AVMA suggests first asking whether your pet really needs to come along; if not, leaving your pet safely at home or with a trusted sitter may be kinder.

Before you go

Get your pet used to the carrier or car seat weeks before the trip. Leave the carrier open at home with a familiar blanket inside, and reward your pet for exploring it.

Take short practice drives, gradually building up the length. Check that ID tags and microchip details are up to date.

What to pack

Pack food, water and a travel bowl, any medications, a leash and restraint, waste bags, a familiar blanket or toy, and copies of health records. A portable tent or travel bed gives your pet a known space at your destination.

On the road

Stop regularly so your dog can stretch and use the bathroom, and offer water at every stop. Keep pets restrained while the car is moving, and never let them ride with their head out of the window.

At your destination

Set up your pet's bed, bowls and litter area first, so they feel settled. Keep cats indoors in unfamiliar places, and check that doors and windows are secure.

Air Travel With Pets

Airlines set their own rules for pets in the cabin and in the hold, including carrier size, pet weight and health paperwork. Check your airline's requirements when you book.

Soft-sided carriers often fit under the seat for small pets, but sizes vary between airlines. Measure the carrier against the airline's limits before you travel.

Talk to your vet before flying, especially about feeding and any calming medication. The AVMA advises consulting your veterinarian before giving a pet any tranquilizers or sedatives.

Choosing Pet Furniture and Travel Gear

Use these steps to choose the right pet furniture and travel items:

1. Measure your pet's length, height and weight.
2. Decide how you'll travel: car, walking, public transport or air.
3. Choose a carrier or car seat that fits the AVMA's stand, turn and lie-down guidance.
4. Check ventilation, zippers and straps for security.
5. Pick home furniture that matches your pet's habits, such as scratching or hiding.
6. Choose washable or easy-clean materials.
7. Read each listing's size and weight limits before ordering.

Caring for Pet Furniture and Travel Gear

Clean pet furniture and travel gear after every trip, especially carriers and car seats, to remove hair, dander and accidents. Wipe hard surfaces, and wash removable pads on a gentle cycle.

Vacuum scratchers and beds regularly, and replace worn cardboard scratchers. Empty and clean water fountains weekly, replacing filters as directed.

Store carriers in a visible spot at home, so they feel familiar rather than a sign of a vet visit, and keep all your pet furniture and travel accessories together for quick packing.

Pet Furniture and Travel FAQs

What size pet carrier do I need?

The AVMA advises a crate or carrier big enough for your pet to stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably. Measure your pet's length and standing height, add a little room, and compare with the carrier's inside dimensions and weight limit.

Where should a pet carrier go in the car?

The AVMA recommends positioning the crate or carrier as near to the center of the vehicle as possible and securing it so it can't move. It says the passenger seat isn't safe for pets. The back seat or cargo area, secured, is usually best.

Can I leave my pet in the car for a few minutes?

No. The AVMA warns never to leave a pet alone in a parked vehicle, no matter the outdoor temperature or how long you think you'll be gone. Cars can heat up or cool down quickly, putting pets at serious risk.

Are cat backpacks safe?

Backpack carriers are safe for many cats when they fit well, have good ventilation and secure zippers, and the cat is used to them. Introduce the backpack at home first, keep trips short at the start, and never leave your cat unattended in it.

What should I pack for a road trip with my dog?

Pack food, water, a travel bowl, medications, a leash and restraint, waste bags, a familiar blanket or toy, and health records. A seat cover keeps the car clean, and a portable tent or travel bed gives your dog a familiar place to rest.

Do you sell airline-approved carriers?

Our pet furniture and travel range includes soft-sided carriers and backpacks, but airline rules vary, and our listings don't claim airline approval. Check your airline's carrier size and pet weight limits, then compare them with the listing's dimensions before you book.

How do I get my cat used to a carrier?

Leave the carrier open at home with a soft blanket and treats inside, so your cat explores it calmly in its own time. Reward any time spent inside, then practice closing the door briefly and taking short trips before longer drives.

Can pet furniture double as travel gear?

Yes, several pieces of pet furniture and travel gear do both jobs. Portable tents, foldable nests and travel beds work at home and on trips, giving your pet a familiar space wherever you stay. Collapsible scratchers and bowls also pack easily for longer visits.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Can I return a carrier that doesn't fit my pet?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if it's new, unused and in its original packaging with all straps and pads. Check the fit briefly indoors, then email support@globalswanky.com with your order number, the product name and the reason. There's no restocking fee.
