When you’re hitting the road with your dog—whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a cross-country adventure—you want to feel confident they’re just as safe and comfortable as you are. But let’s face it: even the most seasoned pet parents know that travel can come with surprises. Changing temperatures, unfamiliar environments, and long car rides—these are real challenges for both dogs and their humans.
That’s why we designed a lineup of travel-friendly accessories built to make your Impact crate setup seamless, secure, and stress-free. From better airflow to joint support and safe restraint, each tool has one job: to help your dog feel at home no matter where the road takes you.
Why Travel Gear Matters for Dogs
Travel puts a unique kind of strain on dogs. Long hours in the car, inconsistent climate control, and noisy or chaotic stops can increase anxiety and physical discomfort. As crate experts, we’ve seen firsthand how the right accessories can turn a crate into a safe haven—one that soothes, protects, and supports your dog when it matters most.
Here’s the truth: not all gear is created equal. That’s why every accessory we offer is designed to pair specifically with your Impact Dog Crate for a travel experience that’s safer, smarter, and more comfortable for your dog—and for you.
Must-Have Accessory #1: Impact Crate Fan
Overheating is one of the biggest concerns when traveling with dogs, especially in warmer weather or extended car rides. That’s where our Impact Crate Fan comes in.
Compact and powerful, this rechargeable fan attaches easily to the crate and circulates fresh air while also creating a low, calming hum that helps anxious dogs relax. It’s a must-have for summer drives, competitions, or even parked rest stops.
Why our crate fan makes a difference:
-
Quiet, consistent white noise helps reduce stress and external noise triggers
-
Rechargeable battery with USB compatibility for on-the-go convenience
-
Adjustable positioning to direct airflow exactly where it’s needed
-
Easy mount onto any aluminum crate door
For those traveling through varying climates, having airflow inside the crate can mean the difference between a restless, overheated dog and a relaxed, travel-ready companion.
Must-Have Accessory #2: Orthopedic Crate Pad
Just like us, dogs feel the effects of a bumpy ride or a long rest on hard surfaces. Our Orthopedic Crate Pad is built to bring comfort and support to your crate setup, especially during extended car rides or overnight trips.
This isn't just any bed—it’s designed to complement our crates, fitting snugly without bunching or slipping. Plus, it’s built for durability and hygiene, which any road warrior will appreciate.
Top features:
-
Memory foam core that cushions joints and pressure points
-
Removable, washable cover for easy cleaning after a muddy hike or beach stop
-
Designed to stay in place within the crate—no sliding around on sharp turns
-
Available in multiple sizes to fit every Impact crate snugly
Whether your dog is a senior with joint issues or just needs a cozy place to nap mid-journey, this pad turns your crate into a home away from home.
Must-Have Accessory #3: Puppy Divider or Seat-Belt Strap
For those traveling with a growing pup or a smaller dog inside a larger crate, our Puppy Divider offers smart customization. It lets you safely limit the space inside the crate, which helps with both security and training during the ride.
Alternatively, if you're traveling with your crate as a kennel setup in the backseat or cargo area, securing it properly is key. That’s where our seat-belt strap (available via our accessories collection) comes in—it keeps the crate in place so it doesn’t shift during stops or sharp turns.
Why this gear matters:
-
Divider adapts your crate for smaller breeds or growing puppies
-
Helps reinforce positive crate behavior while on the road
-
The seat-belt strap secures the crate for added vehicle safety
-
Easy to install and adjust without tools
Peace of mind starts with proper installation, and both of these options make sure your crate setup travels as securely as it was designed to.
How These Accessories Simplify Your Journey
Each accessory serves a unique purpose, but together, they create a setup that’s more than the sum of its parts. With the fan, your dog stays cool and calm. With the orthopedic pad, they ride in comfort. And with the divider or seat-belt strap, they’re secure and supported throughout the journey.
Best of all, these accessories are made to last, just like your crate. Backed by our Lifetime Warranty on manufacturing defects and supported by a 30-day trial period, they’re investments in stress-free travel for years to come.
