Vacationing With Your Dog - Part 2

5/26/2015

0 Comments

 
We continue today with more tips for vacationing with your pet. The focus today will be on what you will need to bring with you to keep your dog comfortable, healthy and happy because, as we all know, a happy dog means a happy owner!

If you are traveling by car and own a van, wagon or SUV you might want to keep your dog in the cargo area so that he will have his own space to stretch out and the humans on the trip will not have to fight him for a seat. If you choose not to use a crate, you may want to consider a barrier to keep your dog in one area of the car. Cargo liners are available to keep the area clean and a pet mat or bed would also be a good idea to keep him comfortable.

Be sure to have plenty of fresh water on hand and a bowl or container that he can easily drink from.

Bring your dog’s regular food. You can simplify things by pre-packing his meals in individual bags or plastic containers. Also bring plenty of treats. Your dog will enjoy snacking along the way just as you would!

Don’t forget any medications your dog may need and be sure to bring his medical/vaccination records just in case your dog should become ill.
Picture
Be sure your dog has a collar and ID tag and, of course a leash. If you will be camping or spending a lot of time outdoors, a tie-out would also be a good idea.
Picture
If you plan to stay in hotels, a book which lists pet-friendly lodging is a must.

A pet first aid kit is always a good idea, whether on the road or at home. Here is a good article that details what you should have. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/pet_first_aid_kit.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/

And don’t forget plastic bags for clean-up!

New adventures await. Enjoy the ride!

    About the Author

    Sue Torres is an animal advocate, rescue volunteer and proud owner of a previously abused pit bull who was slated to be destroyed for being tense and fearful in the shelter environment.

She works tirelessly to promote the adoption of pit bulls in our nation's shelters and change perceptions about this extremely misunderstood and unjustly maligned breed.

    She lives in Connecticut with her rescued pit bull, Mickey. Her first book, Loyalty Unleashed was published in May, 2014 and is avsailable in paperback and e-book formats. Loyalty Unleashed II (her second book) is now available, also in paperback and e-book formats.
