Small Dogs, Plenty to Pack: A Travel Bag for Rosie & Rubie’s Essentials

Rosie and Rubie may be little, but their packing list adds up quickly. Food, bowls, treats, leashes, waste bags—and somehow there’s always one more thing to bring.

For a day trip or weekend away, I like the idea of keeping their supplies together in one dedicated bag. Less digging around, more time enjoying wherever we’re headed.

A place for the little things

The cream quilted tote pictured here caught my eye for its simple look and coordinating accessories. The product photo shows food containers, collapsible bowls, and a small zippered pouch alongside the bag—a useful starting point for organizing the girls’ travel essentials.

When choosing a dog supply bag, here’s what I look for:

• Easy access: An opening that makes it simple to find what I need.
• Separate storage: Places to organize food, bowls, and smaller items.
• Handy pockets: Somewhere convenient for waste bags and treats.
• Manageable carrying: Handles or a strap that work when I’m also holding two leashes.
• Easy care: Materials and cleaning instructions that suit everyday messes.

Packing for the girls

Here’s what I’d pack for Rosie and Rubie:

• Food and treats
• Water and bowls
• Leashes
• Waste bags
• A dog towel for damp paws
• A favorite toy

This tote is for their supplies; the girls travel separately in equipment designed for them.

A travel bag, waste bags, and a towel help keep supplies together. A dog car seat belongs on the travel checklist, too. You can shop these four picks below, or browse my full dog essentials collection. Check each listing for dimensions, materials, and what’s included.
