There is a famous saying that it's not the place where you go but it's a person who you go there with. Is there any better option as a partner than your four-legged best friend dog? If your dog already loves to travel in the car or you are traveling with your best friend for the first time, the Following are some tips and tricks that can help you hold the traveling thing going a little smoother.


  • Before the trip 

Take an appointment for your dog

Before hitting the road, if you are going away from your home for more than a weekend then you should go for a checkup on your dog.

If your dog needs any medications and prescriptions then stock up and refill all these things including tick, flea, and heartworm prevention medication. If your dog gets uneasy in the car then you must ask your vet about anti-anxiety medicines for your dog.

 Up-to-date Wearable identification of the dog

While traveling with any pet up to date variable identification is a must. Ensure that your pet has the correct contact information on the ID card and it should also be attached to the dog's collar. For good Peace of Mind, you can also buy a tracking device that your dog can wear all the time so that when they get lost they can be found quickly.

Train your pet

The best advice is that you should not spring anything new on your pet at the last minute when you are going somewhere new. That is why training your dog with an exact leash, food, toys, collar, and careers at home before you go is very important. Before traveling start this training a few weeks ago and you should be consistent. Dogs love to have routine, so the more you will make things familiar to them more settled your dogs can be.

Safety of your dog 

Dogs and pets are your family and the safety of your family comes first before anything else. For the safety of your dog, Always carry enough water for your dog on hand. Collapsible water bowls are very easy to take on a traveling adventure. If you see that your dog is painting constantly then you should take them to a shady area. Before going to the next activity take proper rest and hydrate your pet. If you are traveling in a boat, kayak, raft, or canoe, then your dog should wear a life jacket which is according to their size. If you are adventuring in a specifically rough area, then you should consider boots for your dog’s feet or you can also put your dog in a pet backpack. Your dog is safest when you are watching or nearby to them so you should not leave your dog alone because of unseen circumstances or weather changes that can happen every time.


Keep everyone else also safe

A very good rule to remember is that your dog should be leashed when someone is around. It means that when you are surrounded by a group of people, animals, children, or moving vehicles your dog’s leash and collar should be in your hand and secure. Your dog food should be kept inside your Airstream RV or in a safe container. You should not put your dog food in the dog bowl because dangerous wildlife can be attracted to your Airstream.
