When it comes to car travel, safety and comfort matter just as much for your dog as they do for you. Whether you’re heading out on a long road trip or doing a quick run to the vet, a dog booster seat is a smart addition to your setup. It keeps your pup secure, elevated, and able to look out the window—reducing travel anxiety and motion sickness.

At Pawz, we stock a premium range of dog car booster seats for pet owners across Australia. These seats are designed to make every drive smoother, safer, and more enjoyable for your furry mate. From puppy car seats to spacious pet car seats for small breeds, you’ll find trusted options built for real Aussie road conditions.

Why Choose a Dog Car Booster Seat?

Elevate Safety, Not Just Your Dog

A booster seat for puppies or small dogs does more than just lift them up—it keeps them protected. Designed with secure straps, adjustable buckles, and often a built-in harness tether, these booster seats prevent your pet from sliding around or falling during sharp turns or sudden braking.

Pair one with a Dog Car Back Seat Cover for added protection to your vehicle’s interior and you're set for stress-free travel.

Better View, Calmer Ride

Many dogs feel uneasy when they can't see what's happening outside. A raised dog seat for car gives them the height they need to watch the world roll by, keeping them calm and curious rather than anxious and restless.

Perfect for Cats and Small Pets Too

Not just for dogs—our collection includes options that work beautifully as a cat car seat or pet car booster seat. The enclosed, snug designs are especially useful for pets that prefer a cocooned space while on the move.

Types of Dog Booster Seats Available at Pawz

Soft-Sided Pet Carriers with Booster Features

For dog owners who want versatility, our dog car carriers double as booster seats. Easy to lift in and out of the car, they offer the convenience of a travel carrier and the security of a pet car booster seat in one.

Check out our full range of Pet Carriers for even more flexible travel options.

Fixed Dog Car Seats for Daily Use

For everyday errands or frequent travellers, our fixed dog car seats are ideal. They strap directly into your car seat and remain steady no matter how often you’re on the road. 

Ideal for Puppies, Seniors, & Nervous Travellers

If you’re bringing home a new pup, a booster seat for puppies gives them a secure spot to get used to car travel. It also helps with training them to stay in one spot—without climbing all over the car.

Older dogs benefit too. The gentle elevation and padded support in many dog car booster seats can relieve pressure on aging joints, especially during longer drives.

At Pawz, we’re committed to providing top-quality pet travel gear that works for Aussie families. Our range of dog booster seats and pet car seats is handpicked for quality, comfort, and reliability.

Combine your booster seat with other essentials like a Dog Pram to make every outing safe and hassle-free.

FAQs About Dog Booster Seats

What is a dog booster seat, and why do I need one?

A dog booster seat is a travel accessory designed to keep small dogs or puppies safe and secure in the car. It lifts your pet up to window height, helps prevent motion sickness, and limits movement while driving—making car rides safer for both you and your pet.

Are dog car booster seats suitable for all breeds?

Booster seats are ideal for small dog breeds, puppies, and even cats. For larger dogs, a standard dog car seat or a dog car back seat cover with a harness attachment might be a better fit. Always check the seats' weight and size limits before purchasing.

Can I use a dog booster seat with a dog harness?

Yes, and it’s actually recommended. Some pet car booster seats come with an internal tether or strap that can be clipped onto a dog harness (not a collar) for added safety during the ride. This keeps your dog in place and prevents sudden jumps or movements.

Is a dog booster seat better than a pet carrier?

Each has its perks. A dog car carrier is enclosed and better for nervous or escape-prone pets. A booster seat for puppies or small dogs, on the other hand, allows your pet to sit up and look out the window. At Pawz, we also stock multi-use options that function as both.

Can a cat use a dog car booster seat?

Absolutely. Many cat car seat options are essentially the same as those made for small dogs. Just make sure it has a secure enclosure or tether, especially if your cat tends to move around during trips.

What’s the difference between a dog car seat & a booster seat?

A dog car seat refers to any seat made for dogs in a vehicle. A booster seat is a type of car seat that elevates smaller dogs to window height for visibility and comfort. Both options provide restraint and security, but a booster seat for puppies or small breeds offers better positioning.
