Thanksgiving Travel Safety: 5 Essential Security Products to Pack

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to celebrate with friends and family, sharing great food, laughter, and precious memories. As wonderful as Thanksgiving can be, traveling during the holidays comes with its own set of risks. Busy airports, unfamiliar cities, and crowded highways can create safety concerns. But with these five Guard Dog Security products, you’re better prepared to handle whatever the holiday season brings. Here are why these items are worth packing.

Blocklock Portable Door Lock for Travel & Home

If you're staying in a hotel, Airbnb, or even with friends, it’s a good idea to bring along an extra layer of security for your room. That’s where the Blocklock Portable Door Lock comes in handy. This compact, easy-to-install lock provides extra protection for any door, helping to prevent intruders from entering. With no tools needed, you can quickly attach it to the door in seconds, and it’s equally easy to remove when you’re ready to leave. 

Proshield Flex Bulletproof Backpack

Whether you’re taking a road trip, flying, or just making a quick drive to see family, a sturdy and protective backpack is essential. The Proshield Flex Bulletproof Backpack is a game-changer. Designed with two panels for added protection, this ballistic backpack offers a discreet yet powerful layer of security. It’s an everyday bag that provides bulletproof protection, keeping you safe in unexpected situations.

If you’re traveling with kids, our Proshield Scout backpack can also be an excellent option for them to carry their belongings safely.

Harm & Hammer Pepper Spray with Glass Breaker

The Harm & Hammer Pepper Spray is a compact and powerful defense tool that fits easily in your pocket, purse, or car. One spray can deter any potential attacker, giving you time to get to safety. Plus, it comes with a built-in glass breaker—perfect if you find yourself needing to break a window in an emergency.

Imagine you’re driving to your Thanksgiving destination, and an unexpected incident occurs on the road. With this defense spray, you’re equipped for multiple scenarios. Not only can it protect you from people who might mean harm, but the glass breaker also gives you a quick way to escape from a vehicle if needed. The peace of mind that this tool brings is priceless, especially during the busy holiday season.

Ivy Stun Gun with Flashlight

Traveling often means being out at night—whether you’re driving late or exploring a new area. For those moments, the Ivy Stun Gun with Flashlight is a valuable addition to your travel gear. This stun gun delivers a powerful electric shock to deter any potential attacker. Its 110-lumen flashlight can also light up dark areas, helping you feel safe and aware of your surroundings.

It has a rubberized grip, making it easy to hold and use, even in stressful situations. It’s small enough to carry in a bag or pocket, so you’re always prepared if an emergency arises.

Keychain Personal Alarm

One of the easiest ways to increase your safety on the go is by carrying a Personal Alarm. This small keychain alarm emits a loud 120dB sound when activated, drawing attention and potentially scaring off any threats. It’s simple to use—just pull the pin, and the alarm will sound, letting others know that you need help.

During Thanksgiving travel, you may find yourself walking alone or in less-populated areas. Having this keychain alarm means you can act quickly if you feel unsafe. It’s also a great gift for family members who might be traveling, as it’s small, affordable, and easy to use.
