LET’S HIT THE ROAD, TRAVEL TIPS.

NOW THAT MOST OF THE COUNTRY IS OPENING AFTER COVID YOU MAY BE PLANNING A ROAD TRIP OR HOLIDAY. IF YOU DOG(S) ARE COMING ALONG HERE ARE A FEW TRIPS TO MAKE THE TRAVEL TIME MORE ENJOYABLE FOR YOU AND THEM.

SAFETY FIRST

Ensure you have an effective harness or restraint device, nothing worse than the dog jumping all over the kids, or worse, the driver. Also safer, sudden braking can cause loose things to come flying forward, including unrestrained pets. Consider installing travel barriers for large or numerous dogs. »

DON’T FEED TO MUCH

You may think, long drive I will fill them up so they don’t get hungry, but be careful as dogs can get car sick and a full belly and travel often don’t mix. Try a smaller meal with snack breaks along the way.

POSITIONS PLEASE

One of the easiest ways to keep your dog calm and content is to let them see out the window and get some air in their face. If the kids are on the window seats with the dog in the middle, you may find it gets restless and annoying as it wants the view.

COMFORT

Make sure you take the dog bed in the car so the dog can rest in a familiar comfortable place. Your dog is less likely to rest on an unfamiliar surface like a seat with all its harder grooves.

PACK A DOGGIE ESSENTIALS BAG

Medications, identification, poop bags special shampoos, toys and stuff that will make them feel at home on the holiday.

VACCINATION

Make sure your dog is up to date with all vaccinations as a new environment can pose new dangers.

REGULAR STOPS

Every time you stop for a break you should always take the dog for a 5-10 minute walk around. Your dog will be used to moving around and on road trips they can be stationary for extended periods of time. Breaks should also include snacks and water.

JUST BEFORE YOU LEAVE

Take a water bottle just for the dog. Not always easy to pull out a water bowl so having a water bottle on hand is an easy way to administer water.
