Car Travel Accessories for Dog Owners
Whether you are heading to the Lake District or just making a quick trip to the vet, travelling with dogs can be unpredictable and also stressful for the dog. From safety concerns to muddy disasters, your car also takes a beating, and it can be challenging to fit all your equipment. This is why having the best dog guard and dog accessories is so important in your car.
Why Buy a Dog Guard?
Travall’s car and travel accessories are an investment not only in your car but most importantly in your dog. By having a dog guard, you prioritise your dog’s safety. Travall’s dog guard combines style and practicality, allowing dog owners and adventure travel enthusiasts to get on the road and explore more.
- Car & Dog Safety
Loose dogs can distract drivers or become injured during sudden stops or, in the worst-case scenario, in a crash. Travall’s Dog Guard keeps your dog secure and safe.
- Car Cleaning
Mud, fur, slobber, your boot deals with it all every day. With Travall’s rubber mats, you can easily clean it off with a quick wipe or a hose down. Meaning you have a clean and fresh car all the time.
- Car Storage
Without compartments, luggage, leads, and food bowls can create chaos. The boot divider from Travall helps you easily organise everything in your car.
Best Dog Guard
So, what are the Travall range of car accessories, and what do they do? Let’s start with the Dog Guard. It is a vehicle-specific barrier that fits snugly behind your rear seats, keeping your dog safely in the boot. Whether you drive a Ford or a Ferrari, Travall provides vehicle-specific dog guards that ensure your dog’s safety, no matter how adventurous the terrain.
Why is this the Best Dog Guard?
- Crash-tested to ISO 9001 standards.
- No drilling required; installs in minutes.
- Rattle-free design eliminates annoying vibrations.
- Perfect fit for over 1,000 vehicle models.
We installed our Dog Guard in under 10 minutes—no tools, no hassle. Just a secure, snug fit that instantly made my boot feel more dog-ready. It provides a safe barrier between the boot and passenger compartment, ensuring your dog’s ultimate safety.
Rubber Boot Mat
The Travall Boot Liner is a high-quality, durable rubber liner that protects your boot floor from dirt, spills, and scratches.
Why get a boot liner or mat?
- Tailored to your car’s boot shape.
- Non-slip surface, ideal for dogs.
- Easy to clean, just hose it down.
- Odour-resistant and non-toxic.
After a rainy hike, we put our delighted, muddy dog in the car. The rubber mat absorbed the mess, and a quick rinse later, it looked brand new. So why wouldn’t you invest in a boot liner to protect your car’s boot and keep everything clean?
Car Boot Divider
The final piece to maximise your car storage for dog walkers and adventurers alike is the durable steel partition that divides your boot into two sections, perfect for separating dogs from luggage or managing multiple pets.
What does a Car Boot Divider do?
- Attaches directly to the Dog Guard.
- Options for 50:50 or 60:40 splits.
- Scratch-resistant coating.
- Removable when not needed.
We use our boot divider to keep Liquorice on one side and all our travel gear on the other, no more crushed snacks or chewed hiking boots. It is also perfect for keeping two dogs separated, especially if they don’t always get along.
Dog Walker Equipment
We regularly take our dog for walks in various environments, whether it’s for a day or a long weekend of hiking across the UK. The Travall car accessory and boot kit have made life easier and mean we have a worry free dog walk.
- The Dog Guard, keep him secure on windy and bouncy roads.
- The Boot Mat, handles mud, water, and fur like a champion.
- The Boot Divide, safely stored a weekend’s worth of camping gear.
So does this make life easier for dog walkers? We could quickly hit the trails with our dog, and upon returning, everything was neat and organised, ready to be packed away.

Dog Guards in the UK and The Law
In the UK, Rule 57 of the Highway Code states that dogs must be “suitably restrained” when travelling in a vehicle. This is a legal requirement, meaning if you own a dog, you must own a dog guard and have it installed in your vehicle.
Failing to restrain your dog properly can result in:
- A fine of up to £5,000
- Points on your licence
- A charge of “driving without due care and attention”
- Potential invalidation of your car insurance
Car Dog Safety
Unrestrained dogs can distract the driver, be thrown forward in a collision, or become aggressive after a crash. The Travall Dog Guard creates a secure barrier, reducing these risks. Unlike crates or harnesses, a dog guard allows your dog to move freely within the boot. It keeps your dog cool, prevents climbing over seats, and offers a dedicated space.
Car Safety Equipment
Loose luggage can become a projectile in a crash. The Travall Guard also acts as a barrier for cargo, shielding passengers plus using a Travall Dog Guard means you’re compliant with UK law, covered by most insurers, and prepared for roadside checks.
