Many people enjoy taking their dogs on vacation with them. While it is true that dogs are resilient, they need a few things for long car rides and trips, just like people do.
Perhaps the most important thing to pack for the dog is water and a bowl to put it in. A leash is also vital for walking the dog at every stop. A dog that is obedient off the leash at home is still likely to become nervous when travelling. This will stop the dog from running away, even if it becomes frightened. Dog food is also important and should be offered along with water during stops. Many dogs may not feel like eating during a trip though as it is a natural dog response. Keep some treats on hand to offer occasionally to get the dog through the drive.
Take the dog’s favorite bed or pillow and toys along on the trip. The pillow will come in handy in the car to give the dog a comfortable spot. However when travelling long distances with old dogs, small dogs, or puppies, consider a pet carrier that they are kept more safe, without being able to move around and eventually harm themselves.
