When traveling with dogs, you need to pay attention to the mode of transportation

When traveling domestically, public transportation is not yet open to pets, and self-driving is currently the only option. If you are traveling by car for a long distance, whether it is a highway or an ordinary national highway, it is best to drive for 2-3 hours and take a break. Let the dog get out of the car and relax, and the person can also rest for a few minutes. When driving in summer, be careful not to turn the air conditioner too low and open windows for natural ventilation. Remember, never leave your dog alone in a closed car at any time.

You need to pay attention to accommodation issues when traveling with dogs

As for hotels that accept dogs, there is a general rule: the further away from the city center, the easier it is to accept them; in small and medium-sized cities, it is easier to accept dogs than in large cities. It is easy to accept in the city; the higher the star rating of the hotel, the less likely it is to accept it; if you tell us that you are bringing a pet when booking, it is probably not easy to accept it. It is relatively easier to check in directly. If you encounter a hotel that refuses pets, but allows them to stay after patient communication, dog owners need to remember to consciously abide by the rules, avoid passenger elevators, take the staff stairs, and choose a room on a lower floor. It is also very important not to let your dog go to bed, not to let your dog urinate or defecate in the hotel room, and not to use hotel guest towels to clean your dog.

Be careful to prepare food and medicine when traveling with a dog

It is best for the dog to continue to eat what he eats during the trip. Occasionally, the owner may encounter leftover whole grains after meals, such as steamed buns. You can also feed your dog some steamed buns and the like. On days when you are driving for a long time, pay attention to slightly reducing the amount of food you feed in the morning to prevent overfullness from causing motion sickness or gastrointestinal discomfort in your dog. The general rule is that if a dog eats less, he will not be hungry. If he eats too much, he will easily cause problems.
When traveling, you are most afraid of your dog getting sick, so you can prepare a small medicine kit. Prepare bandages, hydrogen peroxide, iodophor, Yunnan Baiyao powder, burn ointment, etc. Prepare Smecta, berberine, and cotrimoxazole for oral administration. The main purpose is to prevent diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems in dogs. These medicines are shared by humans and dogs. Prepare topical insect repellent spray to prevent ticks and fleas.

Problems encountered when traveling with dogs

Motion sickness is a problem faced by many people and dogs. Dogs can usually get used to motion sickness through training. In the process of adapting to the car, the dog will inevitably vomit in the car, which requires close observation by the owner. Usually before vomiting, the dog will drool a lot unnaturally, which is a signal of vomiting. Owners who do not drive need to bring a bag to prevent the dog from vomiting into the car. If you are traveling to Tibet with your dog, it is recommended to enter Sichuan-Tibet and exit Qinghai-Tibet, which will help dogs and humans adapt to the high altitude. When taking your dog on a long drive, be sure to stop and rest after 2-3 hours. In the high sea area, be careful to control your dog from strenuous activities, and pay attention to the color of the dog's tongue and gums. Purple tongue and white gums are symptoms of severe hypoxia. Remember to bring your dog’s ID and vaccination certificate. When doing roadside activities, keep your dog on a leash to prevent cross traffic.Pass accident. Attention should be paid to preventing contact and conflict with local dogs during activities in scenic spots.
