On The Road With Your Dog
A lot of dogs like go on adventures, which makes travel
attractive for them. This is their natural hunting instincts
making them want to meet new people and explore new places.
However, it may pose as a problem since taking a dog along
during your travels may be inconvenient. Quite a few people are
frightened of dogs and the mess that dogs make while you're
traveling can be very troublesome. It should also be noted that
many lodgings and transportation services don't cater to pets
such as dogs and cats.
Having your pet watched over by a professional pet handler may
be needed to take care of your dog during the trip. You also
have the option of having your pet stay with a managed kennel.

a place for your dog to live while
you're away, make sure it is comfortable and clean. The dogs
staying there should also look content and well-taken care of. A
few of these dog kennels allow for you to provide your dog's own
sleeping blanket, toy and his favorite foods for while you're
away. Make sure, though, that your dog has had its immunization
since it is a regular requirement for your dog's stay in such
places.
Though, if you really insist on your pet's company when
traveling, here are a few tips:
- A clean bill of health from your veterinarian. Your vet should
also be able to provide you a certificate for this.
- Buy a sturdy dog carrier. This is a must since you'd rather
not lose your pet en route to your destination. A

few airlines
have dog carriers available for sale though they can be quite
expensive. Also, remember that some airlines prefer having your
pet in the compartment for luggage . If you really can't part
with your beloved, get a reservation from an airline that allows
pets to remain with you during the flight.
- Dogs need good ventilation to keep them cool. Try to get
air-conditioned cars when traveling cross-country. This is also
true if you are traveling in trains.
- Don't let your dog hang his head out the window while the car
is moving. It may be tempting to let your pet play around, but
the risks of falling out or getting hit are still there.
- Leaving your dog inside the car or under the sun is risky.

danger to your pet and can even be
fatal.
- Never leave your dog unattended, especially when he is in his
carrier. He may get stolen or kidnapped. This also goes for when
he's wandering around. Sometimes, pets can be too adventurous
and may end up in trouble, or worse, getting you in trouble.
- Fast pulse, rapid panting, red eyes and gums, excessive
slobbering, feverish temperature or vomiting, means that your
dog needs to see a vet quickly. Have cool towels placed on your
dog and get to the closest pet clinic as soon as possible.
- Some countries have specific rules about pet travel. Try to
familiarize yourself with them and try to follow them to avoid
legal troubles later.
- A certificate for rabies vaccination and a

- In preparing for a long trip on the road, ready identification
for your pet. A collar with the dog's name, your name and a
handy contact number can save you from a lot of trouble.
- First-aid kits for your dog can be easily fixed up. Remember
that some emergencies are special to dogs. A flea or tick powder
is a good addition to this.
- Have a ready supply of your pet's favorite doggy treats during
the trip. Make sure to bring more than enough to last the entire
trip to be safe.
- Pack the essentials: clean water, dishes, favorite dog toys,

towels, anything than can help
your dog stay happy during the trip. - A dog should be given the
chance to answer the call of nature every two to three hours so
it won't make any embarrassing messes.
Hopefully, these tips can help you have a better time with
travelling with your dog. Bon voyage!
