The Trailhead Kit

Setting up a car for regular dog trips comes down to a few things: something waterproof under your dog, safe airflow with the windows cracked, and water on hand once you get where you're going. The Trailhead Kit puts the car-ready side of things together in one bundle.

You get our Dog Car Seat Cover — a hammock-style, non-slip cover that keeps mud and water off your seats — our Pet Car Window Safety Barrier, which lets you crack the windows for airflow without your dog climbing out or leaning into oncoming traffic, and a foldable Travel Water Bottle for whenever you stop.

Bought separately these three run $139.97; bundled here they're $124.99 — about $15 back in your pocket for buying the set instead of piecing it together.

This is the core setup for a dog who rides along often — not the full trail-day kit, just the car-ready half of it. If you're also gearing up for grooming and cleanup at home, take a look at the Complete Adventure Kit.
