Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and I love to bring my pups along to join my adventures. With them joining my adventure I have to make sure that they will be just as comfortable as I will be during our time away from home. There are multiple things that I pack for my pups that help them feel comfortable. Here is a list of things that I make sure I do not leave the house without.

  1. Dog food-
  • I make sure I pack their regular dog food, and then I pack a little extra because sometimes I will stay another night if the opportunity comes to us.
  • I also will bring a canned of dog food, because canned food can be more tempting to eat for dog (if your pup is not used to canned food try just putting a little in the food so they wont get an upset stomach. which some dogs will get an upset stomach if something is new introduced to there tummy)Sometimes my pups won’t eat in an unfamiliar environment. And it is ok if they don’t eat but because my pups and I are so active it helps with a full belly.
  1. Collar, harness and leashes-
  • always bring your dog’s tags. We don’t want to think about losing them on vacation, but accidents do happen so make sure your pup is safe. A collar, leash, and tag will help keep your pup safe.
  1. Bed-
  • now you can use whatever makes your pup more comfortable. For example, a crate. If your pup is already used to a crate at home, then you should consider either bringing it or bringing a travel one. Always try to make your pup have the same routine they have it home. My pups can do crate but would prefer a dog bed. I also trust them enough to not go to the bathroom wherever we are staying.
  1. Toys-
  • always bring a fun little activity for them for the hotel or wherever you are staying at. If they are having anxiety or just bored, I like to bring a Kong and fill it with peanut butter to help keep their mind busy.
  1. Carrier/ stroller-
  • I like to bring a stroller or a carrier to help Travel with my pup. Having a stroller can also be super helpful. it will help you carry bags. which is super helpful. Strollers and carriers also will help the older pups.
  1. Relaxing solutions-
  • Again, the Kong really helps with boredom. This activity is something fun and will keep your pup mentality busy. For anxiety I like to give my pups CBD to help them relax. Especially at night. Nala my shih-tzu has anxiety when we stay at hotels, because all the doors opening so I give her some CBD to help her relax and sleep.
  1. Portable dog bowls-
  • this also helps to bring if you go out and adventure off in the new place you are in and your pup needs water

The main goal with traveling with your pup is to make sure they are comfortable as well and still set in a good routine. We want to bring and have fun with them when we go on this fun adventure. Below is an Amazon list that i recommend above; please feel free to check out the recommendation
