Spend more than 5 minutes in any international airport and you’ll notice that pet passengers are becoming the ultimate travel accessory. Pets appear in airport lounges more often now, usually tucked into neat carriers beside owners who travel frequently. The packing ritual simply expands to include one more traveller.
Of course a comfortable carrier always comes first, followed by the familiar comforts that make a journey easier. A soft blanket, a collapsible travel bowl, a small pouch of treats for the quieter moments between flights.
Luxury houses have started paying attention too. Versace offers Barocco print bowls and polished collars that feel entirely at home beside designer luggage, while Gucci has introduced a playful pet collection that includes monogram carriers, leads and travel accessories.
Small details perhaps, though they say a lot about how people travel today.
