Food Powering through a road trip typically means drive-thru meals with extra grease. Feeding a dog burgers on the road can wreak havoc on their digestive system. Traveling can be stressful on pets so it is important to keep some form of their routine. Not keeping a constant diet can result in one sick pup. Bringing your dog’s typical dry food with you can prevent an upset stomach.

Water Keeping your dog hydrated makes traveling easier. To take plenty of water stops to help prevent illnesses like heat exhaustion or car sickness. If you are on a tight travel schedule and extra stops will add several hours, there are special dog water bottles. Products like Gulpy Jr. Water Dispenser or Highwave AutoDogMug are affordable and effective dog water bottles. Having these products along will make any road trip easier.
Car sickness When going down winding roads your human travel companions can vocalize if they are getting car sick, but your pet doesn’t have that luxury. When traveling with your dog it is important to know the sign of car sickness. Common signs of car sickness in dogs are excessive trembling, hunched posture, excessive drooling, and vomiting.
First aid kit Accidents happen and having a pet-friendly first aid kit on board can save money on the road. Many of the same products can be used for both people and your pets. Having a dual first aid kit saves space in your vehicle. Items like antibiotic ointment, hydrogen peroxide, gauze, scissors, tweezers, and a flashlight are all first aid kit must haves. Copies of your pet’s vaccinations, medical records, and a picture of your pet should also be included in case of emergency.
Clean-up kit The Boy Scouts have the right idea by always being prepared. Having supplies to clean up a surprise mess would make any Boy Scout proud. Baby wipes, doggy-waste bags, paper towels, and plastic bags can handle almost any surprise your dog has in store.
May tail wags and wet noses find you.
