Pooch Travel Tips

Suitcase

Summer’s almost here and there’s no better time to take a vacation with your pooch. Traveling with your dog can be a great way to relax and enjoy your vacation, so long as you’re prepared for the expected as well as the unexpected.

First, be sure the place you’re staying allows pets, and adhere to their rules.

Be sure your heater (in winter) and air conditioner (in summer) are functioning properly in your vehicle. Bring water for your dog, have your dog safely contained in your car, and never leave your dog in your car alone.

If you know your dog will jump on the furniture and bed, bring a couple of sheets to use as ‘cover-slips’ during your stay.
 
Check ahead for daycare and pet sitters, as well as vets in the area you’ll be staying. Many pet-friendly hotels do not allow you to leave your pet unattended for any reason, whether or not it’s in a crate.

Bring your dog’s health record with you on the road. Remember the first aid kit.

And remember to bring the comforts of home–lots of toys, treats, water, food, a dog bed and blanket, dishes, etc. to make the stay a happy one.
