Who doesn't love a good road trip? Taking in the air on the open road and visiting new and exciting places is a feeling that cannot be beat. Moreover, that feeling is not just limited to you --- your dog shares in the amazement and wonder that accompanies jumping in the car and heading out on the road for an adventure. In fact, anyone who owns a good dog has probably had the experience of opening the door to get in the car only to have your dog zip by you and jump on the passenger seat, full of anticipation. However, if you plan to let Fido along for the ride, it's important to keep these tips in mind:
• Buckle your dog up: So many people make this simple mistake and it can cost you your dog's life in an accident. Invest in a pet-friendly harness or seatbelt that will keep your dog restrained while in a moving vehicle. Keep in mind that if you get into an accident, your dog can sustain the same life-threatening injuries as a human can. So, buckle up your pooch every time you get in the car!
• Never leave your pooch in the back of a truck or locked in a hot car: Also a common mistake, particularly among people who have little knowledge or experience dealing with dogs. Bottom line is that animals can get just as overheated as you or I, so never leave them in a vehicle with all of the windows up. Don't leave them in the back of a truck unless you are comfortable with them being gone when you come back. Treat the situation just as you would if you have a child so that you can give your pet the best protection when you are travelling.
• Plan ahead if you plan to be gone overnight: if you are planning a longer journey than just a day, make sure to plan ahead for pet-friendly accommodations, places along the way where you can stop for your dog to use the bathroom and run around, and stretch their legs.
• Make sure you pack your dog's necessities: Don't forget food and grooming materials. To avoid the need to pack a slew of items, invest in The Brush Buddy, an all-in-one dog brush, dog massager and cleansing and drying agent. The Brush Buddy is perfect for road trips because you can use it to brush dirt off of your dog or dry them off if they take a dip in the water at the beach. You don't have to worry about your dog tracking dirt or water into your car after using The Brush Buddy. Best of all, this product is compact and easy to throw right into your overnight bag.
Taking these steps will ensure a safe and happy trip for both you and your dog and allow you to continue to create travel memories together for a long time to come.
