There are certain things you should prepare ahead of time, in order to have an enjoyable vacation with your dog. These tips should help you that your road trip and vacation with your canine friend is not ending in a nightmare. In case of an emergency or any unpredictable situation that may occur you need to be ready. Before you go on that road trip with your dog, keep the following items in mind and make sure that you have them ready and available.
1. First of all, check with your veterinary if your dog is in a good and healthy condition for that vacation and if any inoculation is recommended for your desired destination. While you are already at your veterinary, ask for medication in case your dog should get ill during the trip. Don’t forget the medication or vitamins he is currently taking.
2. Should you own a female, check with your veterinary if she could get eventually on heat during the vacation, if so, your veterinary will know the right advice.
3. A dog crate is highly recommended for security reasons for your dog and your self. You always should keep in mind, if you are on the road and you have to brake from only 20 miles to zero, your dog will fly through the hole care and perhaps through the front window, if the dog is not well secured. This would be not only very dangerous for your dog, it’s also very dangerous for your self! Train your dog for the cage BEFORE your starting your trip.
4. An adequate supply of dog food to last for the entire trip. Make sure to bring enough extra food. It is possible, that your brand of dog food is not available at your vacations destination. With enough extra food, you are not risking any food changes for your dog.
5. Your dogs “home-blanket” or “home-bed”, his bowls and toys. With that, your dog will feel him self more at home and more safety at the new place. Some extra toys for him to play with, which will also help to keep him busy during the road trip.
6. At least three gallons of extra water for your dog. If you are going to a different country, keep in mind that the water there may be different from the water you have at home. Since your dog may be sensitive to the differences in the water, which could make him sick, be sure that you carry enough water to last for the entire trip.
7. An extra water bowl for use during the trip. Do some brakes to water your dog and let him do his potty breaks. Paper towels and plastic bags to clean up after his potty breaks. Do not feed your dog during the road trip.
5. A specifically made first-aid kit for your dog.
6. A buckle collar with a clear and legible ID tag as well as a tag and license that show his updated vaccination for rabies. This tag should be worn at all times.
7. Several chew toys.
8. An extra leash and extra collar.
9. His grooming kit you regularly use during his grooming sessions, which could include a brush, flea comb, nail clippers, toothbrush.
10. Large blankets and thick towels in case he decides to jump in a river or run in a muddy ground.
I hope this tips will help you for your vacation planning.
