need while you are traveling. From first
aid to poop pickup and doggie car safety,
the following information will help you
plan successfully to bring your dog on

MEDICATIONS
On trips to the deep countryside, a tool
for picking ticks or tweezers, a brush and
comb all come in very handy. A first aid
box with the diarrhea medicine Pepto-
Bismol and other supplies like tape,
scissors and gauze might also be very
useful. Do pack all the regular medicines
he needs plus any anti-vomit medicines;
get a prescription from the vet if you think
it necessary. You might need to clean up
and would need innumerable roles of
paper towels as well as cloth ones for
drying off your dog when he gets wet
or dirty. To cover your bedspreads, any
furniture and the carpets in hotel rooms,
you should consider packing your old
set of sheets plus a blanket, along with
a spray bottle of any all-purpose cleaner,
or Clorox wipes.
