Travel Tips!
A vacation becomes more fun and exciting
if you get to bring your furry friend along
with you. The cutest member of your family
gets to enjoy more time with you--and
doesn’t have to stay alone at the pet
boarding facility. But, vacations with pets
can become overwhelming if you’re not
fully prepared.
Here are some tips that experienced dog
parents swear by to enhance your vacation
experience.
Always check the policies.
Over the years, there’s been an increase in
the number of people traveling with
animals. Many establishments are still
trying to catch up with this increasing
demand. So, you’ll nd several hotels and
restaurants listed as pet-friendly that
actually don’t allow pets anymore. Before
making a booking or reservation, call the
establishment to know more about their
pet policy.
You may have to pay extra.
Several hotels and chains charge additional
fees if you’re bringing your pet along. These
include one-time fees of about $50 to $250
or a daily $10 to $60 charge. These costs do
add up and put pressure on your budget.
Instead, booking a pet-friendly Airbnb may
be a better idea.
Be considerate of the people around you.
While some people may be happy and
excited to see your dog, others may be
terri ed. You need to be considerate of the
people around you and be polite. You also
need to know your furry friend’s limits.
Carry all the paperwork.
International travel is trickier than domestic
travel. You need to ensure that you’ve
dotted your i’s and crossed your t’s before
crossing the border. Each country has
different pet import rules. Some ask for
paperwork and a rabies vaccine while
others require pet quarantine.
Train your furry friend.
Your dog needs to know basic commands
like “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” etc. before you can
take him with you on your adventures. You
can leave a well-trained pet in a hotel room
if you’re planning on visiting places that
don’t allow pets--like the museum.
There are many things you need to keep in
mind when planning on traveling with your
pet. Some may seem obvious, while you
may not have thought about the others!
We hope that these expert tips will help
you have a wonderful vacation with your
furry friend.

WHY BUY TRAVEL DOG BOWLS?
Travel dog bowls are not only convenient to use but also save you a lot of space. You can take
portable bowls along on hiking and camping expeditions, road trips, and on the airplane. These
are an excellent investment if you are short on space---especially if you’re going on a long trip.
Let’s take a look at a few reasons why getting travel dog bowls is a great idea!
Extremely Convenient
These dog bowls are collapsible,
which makes them extremely
convenient when traveling. The
bowls take up little space in your
backpack, making them easy to
pack and store.
Easy to Carry
Most of these bowls come with a
loop that makes them easy for you
to carry. You can clip them on to
your belt loop, backpack, running
belt, dog’s harness, etc. Some also
come with a handy cover.
Various sizes
These bowls come in various sizes
and cater to the needs of all
canines. They’re generally
inexpensive, so you don’t have to
worry about losing them.
Versatile Use
You can use these on your daily
walks, car rides, hiking trips, etc.
There’s no way you won’t use a
collapsible bowl if you buy one!
Our Secret
pumpkin
doggie treat recipe
Ingredients
1/3 cup of cold water
2/3 cup homemade or canned pumpkin puree
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Use two baking papers or baking sheets to avoid
sticking.
2 cups brown/white rice flour
2 1/2 tbsp flaxseed oil
optional: 1 egg
In a bowl, beat an egg and mix the pumpkin puree. Beat
until the mixture is smooth. If you don’t want to use the
egg, you can just beat the pumpkin puree until it is
smooth.
In a second bowl, combine the flaxseed oil with the
brown rice flour. Slowly stir in the pumpkin whilst also
adding water. You can leave some rice aside if you
would like to use it as toppings for the biscuits.
Knead the dough properly using your hands.
On waxed paper or baking paper, roll the dough using a
rolling pin to the thickness you desire and remove the
top of the baking paper.
Pour the leftover rice flour on the mixture and press it
lightly.
Cut the biscuits to your desired size. You can use cookie
cutters for this.
Place the dough in the oven for 35 minutes until the
biscuits look dry.
Wait for the biscuits to cool down and store them in an
airtight glass container. You can also freeze a batch for
six months.
Have a Safe Flight!
Most pet parents find flying with their pets
extremely stressful and daunting. But, sometimes,
it is difficult to avoid taking a flight. In this section,
we’ll go over some tips that’ll help you.
Always go to a vet.
Before boarding the plane with your furry friend,
book an appointment with the vet to check if your
dog is healthy enough to fly. Depending on your
destination, your furry friend may also need some
shots.
Make sure that your dog’s breed isn’t restricted.
Certain airlines don’t allow some dog breeds
onboard. Before booking your ticket, call the
airlines to check to see if your dog will be allowed
to board the flight. In most cases, Brachycephalic
breeds such as Bulldogs, Boxers, Boston Terriers,
etc. aren’t allowed.
Train your pet to sit in the pet carrier.
Buy a TSA-approved pet carrier and start training
your dog to sit in it for extended periods of time.
Your furry friend should be able to sit in the carrier
for the length of the flight--this will assimilate him
to the carrier so that he doesn’t get stressed during
the flight.
Bring toys!
Giving your dog some toys to play with will help
keep his anxiety in check--especially during takeoff
and landing.
