TOP 10 TIPS<br />
Top ten tips for<br />
travelling with<br />
your dog<br />
1. Keep your dogs ID<br />
tags on and make sure<br />
your contact information<br />
is up to date with the<br />
microchip company.<br />
Consider a temporary<br />
tag with your hotel’s<br />
contact details on.<br />
2. Avoid feeding<br />
your dog immediately<br />
before travelling.<br />
Feed him or her at least<br />
a few hours before your<br />
journey to avoid getting<br />
carsick.<br />
3. Exercise your dog<br />
before leaving.<br />
A tired dog will travel<br />
better than a fully<br />
rested one!<br />
4. Pack appropriate<br />
supplies. Make your<br />
dog’s area comfortable<br />
with its own bedding<br />
or blankets. Bring water,<br />
treats for stops and some<br />
chew toys along with<br />
poop bags.<br />
Avoid squeaky toys!<br />
5. Place a few chew<br />
toys in the back with<br />
your dog to keep<br />
them occupied.<br />
It’s better to not give<br />
him or her a bone or<br />
food treats to avoid<br />
car sickness.<br />
6. Take breaks. Let<br />
your dog run around and<br />
tire itself out if you can.<br />
Make sure you stop<br />
every hour or so and go<br />
for a quick walk so your<br />
dog can stretch its legs<br />
and avoid getting bored.<br />
7. Avoid comforting<br />
your dog if he or she<br />
is showing signs of<br />
distress in the car.<br />
Comforting the dog,<br />
as natural as it seems,<br />
reinforces the idea<br />
that something bad<br />
is happening.<br />
8. Reward your dog<br />
once you get to your<br />
destination.<br />
Go for a long walk. Give<br />
a treat and lots of love<br />
for making it through<br />
the journey!<br />
9. You’ve arrived!<br />
Dogs thrive on healthy<br />
routines.<br />
Provide regular walks,<br />
playtime, access to fresh<br />
water at all times, and<br />
food, preferably the kind<br />
they eat at home.<br />
10. Don’t leave your<br />
dog in a parked car<br />
on a hot day.<br />
Be aware of how quickly<br />
a dog can get heat stroke<br />
and die in a parked car.<br />
To be safe, never leave<br />
your dog in a car in<br />
warm weather.<br />
