Overnight Bags for Dogs

Overnight bags for dogs are used to store the essential items necessary for a dog to sleep over with a relative or stay the night at a pet lodging facility. These bags come in several different styles, each with its own characteristics and utility.

  1. The Essentials

    • Most overnight bags for dogs are big enough to conveniently carry essentials such as a feeding dish, a blanket, favorite toys, a few doggy treats and medical/identification information.

    Customization

    • Some owners customize their dogs' overnight bags by printing a picture of their dog along with its name in big letters. Customization not only adds character to the bag, but also helps the pet's temporary guardian to easily identify it if several dogs happen to be in her custody.

    Carriage

    • Some models come with a simple tote handle option, while others include the sportier drawstring that allows owners to easily toss the bag over their shoulder.

    Extras

    • Some bags, like the Outward Hound Deluxe Bottle 'N Bowl Bag, include convenient extras such as a fold away "port-a-bowel" that fits into a small side pocket of the bag. Such features allow owners to neatly compartmentalize their dogs' items, thus avoiding a potential mess.

    Prices

    • The stylish New Petalonia doggy tote bag retails for $180, while the Bow Wow bag sells for under $10. The major price difference between models is due to the quality of workmanship and materials.
