Road Trip With Your Dog

Some dogs love a good car ride. Some would rather chase behind them. If you know you will be going on a long road trip with your dog, it is very wise to get the dog used to riding in the car. Before your road trip, take the dog with you everywhere, even if you're just driving down the street to the grocery store. The point is to get your dog feeling very comfortable with riding and getting in and out of the car. Once you know how your dog behaves in the car, you will then have an idea of what kind of adjustments you will need to make, if any, on the day of your trip.

A pet carrier or crate might be necessary for a lot of reasons, including safety.
If your dog is one that will run wildly back and forth around the vehicle, keeping him contained may become necessary. During the road trip stop often along the way to allow your dog to stretch the legs and relieve itself. Stopping often also helps dogs who are prone to getting car sick. If you do have a dog that is prone to getting car sick, there is a very good all-natural product remedy (listed below) to help with this. I would highly advise buying to take on your road trip with your dog and keep it handy.

A word of caution: Cars can quickly become ovens, even when the weather seems mild. It only takes a few minutes to heat up the inside of a car in direct sunlight, so play it safe and do not leave your dog in the car.

Besides your crate or carrier, here is a list that I have put together of items that are "must haves" when going on a road trip with your dog.

The collar, leash or harness

Dog food, including treats

Doggie chews like kongs or chew sticks

Water and food bowls

A few toys and other familiar items

Any medications

A few towels for drying paws or fur

A blanket in case it gets cold

Dog bed or mat for when you reach your destination

Bags for picking up poop

Hand wipes for you

If your dog is prone to car sickness, it would be wise to bring some Pet Alive with you! It is an all natural remedy that is excellent for relieving stress and motion sickness. Ingredients are well-researched, natural, safe and effective. We keep it in the glove box in the car and just sprinkle a "pinch" onto our dog's tongue. It works immediately. Buy it now.

My daughter had been searching for an easier way to bathe the dogs, and she bought an awesome product.

She provided a video review of the product that is posted here.
