1. One of the first things you want to do is to get the
phone number and address of a local animal hospital at your destination and
program it into your cell phone, just in case of
emergency. You also want to have an ID tag with your contact details.
2. Pack a photo of you with your dog in case he gets lost
and you need to prove he belongs to you. You also want to remember your pet’s
first aid kit and your spare leash. By the way, you might also need your dog’s
ID in this type of situations, so make sure to carry it with all the time.
3. This is important. Make sure to buckle up your dog
securely for the ride. True great ways to protect your dog along the way are
crates and car harnesses. I personally, like to use a car harness in
conjunction with an extension lead so my dog has a little room to move around
in the back seat.
4. Do not leave your dog in the car while you hit that road
sign dinner. Your vehicles internal temperature can rise to deadly values for a
dog, even with the windows cracked. And if you roll your windows down all the
way you run the risk of him escaping or somebody coming by and stealing your
dog. So, pack a cooler or hit the drive through window.
5. Don’t forget his favorite toy. Also, bringing in some
treats and water is highly recommended especially if you are planning a longer
drive.
Have a safe an happy trip!
Taking all the safety
measures you possibly can before going on a trip with your dog or puppy is just
as important as buying essentials such as dog food or a good dog
pen. Remember that your dog is
your best friend and making sure that he gets everything he needs in order to
live a healthy and happy life is one of the most fulfilling things that you can
do.
