Traveling With Your Dog
Many dog owners do not want to or cannot leave their pet at home or in a boarding facility when they travel. If you are planning to take your furry friend on the road with you, planning your trip well in advance is the key to reducing stress and making it a safe and fun adventure for all.
Check with your healthcare professional to make sure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date and medications and other medical concerns are in order.
When packing, keep your dog’s things separate from yours so they can be located easily.
