Road tripping this Holiday Season and plan on taking Fido with you? Here are some tips to get you prepared!
Local Tag: If you plan to travel far from home, consider having an extra set of ID tags made with a local phone number – such as your local family, friends or even hotel. That way if your pet happens to get loose, his or her rescuer will know that someone is searching for them nearby.
Collar, Leash & Poop bags: Remember that taking Fido out of the car for potty breaks must include his collar being secured and him being leashed. Be prepared for them to sniff FOREVER before doing his business. Make sure to clean up after Fido!
Trail Run: Take a trip around the block to see how he reacts. If your pooch gets car sick like one of mine, then reach out to the vet prior to going on the big trip!Buckle up: Like people, pets are safest when restrained in the car – many states have laws about keeping pets in carriers or buckled up while on the road. My one pooch rides in his kennel, the place he feels the most secure!
Food and Water: Be sure to bring along Fido’s favorite food so as not to upset his stomach. A travel food and water dish is also perfect for pit stops.
Seat Covers/Blankets: Protect your seats from muddy paws, drool, dog hair and accidents! It is also good to bring some extra towels as well!
Vaccination Records Keep a copy of all vaccination records in your dogs travel bad. Should an emergency arise once you are on the road, you will have the important information you need.
How nice is the Kia Sorento? Enough room for all the suitcases, gifts and Fido!
