Traveling with a dog: what to take on the road?

 If you are going to trip with a dog, it is worth considering in advance what to take with you. The more responsibly you approach this issue, the more comfortable both you and your pet will feel on the road.

What to take on the road, going on a trip with a dog?

First of all, think about nutrition. It will be more convenient to feed the dog on a trip with dry food, because natural products quickly deteriorate, especially in the heat. If you have followed a natural diet, transfer your dog to a new diet in advance (it is worth starting at least 1 month before the trip). Before choosing a food, it would be good to consult with a veterinarian. And at the same time, find out if such food is available in the country of destination (unless, of course, you are carrying a sufficient supply with you).

Remember that the dog must have drinking water on the trip. On sale there are special road drinkers, they are folded and take up almost no space.

Don’t forget a collar, leash and muzzle. Get a cage or carrier, even if you’re driving your own car. In any case, the bottom must be waterproof. Place an absorbent pad on the bottom and take a few more with you. Check the rules for transporting a dog in the country of destination to avoid unpleasant surprises, check the tariffs and weigh the pet in the cage in advance.

Your dog may get sick on a trip and you will need plastic bags.

Stock up on wet wipes so that in the event of an unpleasant surprise, you can quickly eliminate the consequences.
