Trust us, both you and your pooch will thank us for the upgrades! Stop in today!
Use a crate & keep them safe:
- While out and about traveling, your pooch should always be secure inside his/ her crate or secure by a proper seatbelt for dogs. If you go with the crate option, make sure you make it comfortable for them by adding a blanket, a toy they love, and any other items your doggo likes. This will help keep your pet entertained and relaxed throughout the trip.
Food, water, treats, medications:
- A consistent diet is important for pets, especially ones that have sensitive stomachs. Always pack enough food and treats to keep your pooch full and if they require specific water or are not used to drinking water other than what you give at home, pack that as well. Don’t forget any medications that your dog might need along the way!
Vet visits are key:
- Is your pet safe and healthy enough to travel? A quick visit to the vet can answer any/ all questions that you may have when it comes to traveling with them, especially if your pet is on the older side. Getting your vets approval to travel is important.
Is it time for a potty break?:
- We all need to take a minute to stop, stretch our legs, and maybe use the bathroom. Treat your pooch to that same courtesy. This will also allow your dog to stay calm and they won’t be so anxious being cooped up in a crate the entire trip. Let your pooch burn off that excess energy and perhaps they’ll take a little snooze when you hit the road again!
Don’t leave your pooch:
- DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG IN THE VEHICLE. This is putting your pet at risk and quite frankly, it’s really not worth it. Unless your vehicle is parked in a secure, cool, covered parking garage – don’t risk it. Treat your pup how you’d want to be treated and keep them safe!
