From Our Blog
- Health Check: Visit your veterinarian to ensure your dog is in good health for travel. Ensure your dog's vaccinations are up-to-date, and discuss any concerns or necessary preventive measures, such as tick and flea prevention.
- Identification: Ensure your dog has proper identification, including a collar with an ID tag that includes your contact information and a microchip with current details. If your dog gets lost during the trip, this can be a lifesaver.
- Travel Gear: Invest in the right travel gear, including a comfortable and secure travel crate or harness, travel bowls, and waste disposal bags. These items will make the journey smoother and more comfortable for your dog.
- Food and Water: Bring enough food for the entire trip, as well as portable food and water dishes. Stick to your dog's regular diet to prevent upset stomachs.
- Medications: If your dog takes any medications, ensure you have an adequate supply.
- First Aid Kit: Pack a basic first-aid kit for your dog, including items like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and tweezers for tick removal.
- Comfort Items: Bring your dog's favourite blanket, toy, or bed to provide comfort and familiarity during the journey.
- Leash and Collar: Always have a leash and collar on hand for bathroom breaks and short walks.
- Secure Your Dog: Use a properly fitting harness or crate to keep your dog secure while driving. Unrestrained dogs can be a significant distraction and pose a danger in case of an accident.
- Rest Stops: Plan regular rest stops for bathroom breaks, stretching, and exercise. Ensure your dog is on a leash or in a secure area during these breaks.
- Never Leave Your Dog Unattended: Under no circumstances should you leave your dog unattended in a parked vehicle, especially in hot weather. Temperatures can rise rapidly, leading to heatstroke.
Include activities that your dog can enjoy in your travel itinerary. Research dog-friendly parks, beaches, and hiking trails at your destination. Exploring new places with your dog can be a fantastic bonding experience.
Let customers speak for us
Love this harness, so easy to put on. My dog still pulls a bit but he has on every pull harness I’ve tried. This was ithe best and he likes it. I would recommend this harness and it’s my favorite colour.
My puppy Leo loves his harness, super comfortable for him and looks really cute on him hehe definitely recommend!
I bought an XS harness for my young Papillon. It's always a worry buying an expensive harness on line, but I am so glad I took the plunge. It's a robust yet compact harness, easy to get on and can be adjusted at all four tether points. Best of all the handle to grab the lil' varmint.
Very nice collar super quality for the price !
Tough looking,nice and thick,real leather, strong built, overall excellent,clan McFarlane
I rarely leave reviews.
About a month ago I had a terrible situation where my mumma dog ‘Joni’ escaped her halti harness in a fear situation. We were close to a windy road, getting dark in Belgrave, Vic…. I managed to grab her collar- but my heart jumped out of my chest with how close I was to almost loosing her.
I did research- and found this product- and then I actually met someone down the beach who recommended this ‘escape proof’ harness. She was wrapped with it- and her dog was rather tiny in comparison to mine. She did say it was the only harness her dog hadn’t been able to escape from.
I took that as a sign- and ordered one for Joni… and her pup Cosette….even though Cosette will definitely grow out of hers. (So please remember this review in future- as I’ll need to upgrade 😉)
The quality is fantastic!! A believe they are comfortable for my dog and puppy- but mostly ‘safe!’
Thank you for your product!
Cute photo of my beautiful girls! 💕
Really good quality, fits perfectly, love it!
A good well made sturdy harness which works well. Hopeful the pup is going to learn to like it in the near future but so far so good.
Our little Whippet "Twiggy" loves her new harness. Like her namesake, she enjoys the latest fashions. She has tried a couple of times to break away but hasn't been able to do so. She has now resigned herself to just enjoying her walks and not to bother about any stray rabbits around the area.
A great purchase, and very much appreciated.

Fantastic harness by a fantastic brand. My bulldog is very active and loves rolling around. This harness does not restrict her movement and is lightweight enough to not make her overheat.
My bulldog loves nothing more than to slip her harness. This harness has made walks way less stress. It’s also flexible so she can roll around.
I am very impressed with the quality of my dogs new collar. It is exactly as I saw in the pic when I ordered and the delivery was quick. The whole process of dealing with dog nation was excellent.
Baylee adores her new dog collar and I am very happy with the quality. Thankyou Dog Nation! ❤️
Paddy looks very handsome in his new harness which was recommended to us by another whippet owner. Harness is smart looking and well padded and escape proof!! The service from dog nation has been fantastic, extremely helpful and very responsive to all my queries regarding measurements and sizing.
Ivy's collar is perfect for her.. She looks beautiful in a very well made padded collar... Love love love it highly recommend
