Traveling with a Dog

Pick one chain of hotels that allows animals that way you can earn rewards (I use Wyndham)
Use a collapsible water bowl for the car ride, it takes up very little space
Use a harness with a seatbelt
- They can’t crawl up and distract the driver
- They won’t be able to get out of the car until you have their leash back on them
Use a travel food bag for short trips, ours holds 12 cups of food, so enough for 3 days
Take an extra water bottle that you can fill at rest stops, use this to fill the collapsible bowl
Leave the car running with your pet in it during the winter, because your car acts as a refrigerator and will get too cold inside very quickly
Bring a blanket they use from home so your dog can have familiar smells if they are nervous riding in the car or when they are left in the car alone
Keep their tags on them, and their microchip information up to date in case they run off from being in an unfamiliar area
If you forget a dog bowl, or leave it in the car, you can use the throw away coffee cups that most hotel rooms have for the night
Bring a copy of your dogs shot records
