It’s that time of year when we pack up the kids and the car and head out on the road. While taking your dog on vacation can be great fun, it can also pose some challenges. With a little pre-planning, you should be able to pack up your pooch and hit the road!
– Look for accomodations that are pet friendly. There can be a big difference between pets allowed and pet friendly, so be sure to review all pet policies.
– Investigate the areas that you will be visiting. Are there dog-friendly and off-leash parks or beaches? Are dogs allowed on trails, in downtown areas, in stores and outdoor restaurants, or other local attractions?
– Bring proof of vaccinations, especially if you may need to use a local kennel.
– Make sure your dog is wearing a well-fitting collar with current ID.
– Bring comfort items like toys or a blanket, pack an extra sheet and towels for covering and cleaning, and pack some meals in individual portions for flexibility when on the go.
Enjoy your summer!
