Traveling with your pooch: Things you should know!



1.) You should bring your own water from home.  Dogs have sensitive stomachs and water from unfamiliar places can easily cause an upset tummy for your pup.

2.) Plan ahead for any medication your pooch might need while you’re traveling.  If you are able to pack extras, do so.

3.) It’s always smart to bring a blanket that smells like home– people aren’t the only ones who get homesick!

4.) Get your dog used to being on the road by taking him on a few short drives in the days approaching the big trip.

5.) Make sure he’s micro-chipped.  Hit the road with the peace of mind that if the worst does happen, you won’t be caught unprepared.

You already know this, but we must remind you: NEVER leave your dog in your car unattended.  It gets hot in there!
