Things to note when traveling with a dog: Be prepared

There are many preparations for traveling with a dog. First of all, you must determine the destination of your trip. It is best to choose a place with few people, such as a non-urban cultural scenic spot or an ecological park with fewer people. This can avoid hurting other tourists due to the dog being too excited during the trip.
A homemade pet tag should be hung on the dog. The owner’s home address and contact number must be written on it to prevent the dog from getting lost during travel.

However, there are also some dogs that are carsick and naturally react strongly to riding in cars, such as poodles. Therefore, you must train your dog to ride in a car before traveling to make them familiar with the environment in the car.
Dog toys, medical records, water, food, etc. should be prepared before departure. Toys can alleviate the boredom of dogs during travel, medical records can facilitate remote veterinarians to make accurate diagnoses for dogs, and water and food are the material basis for dogs to travel safely.
Six hours before departure, let the dog start fasting and let it walk more. If your dog has a history of motion sickness, you can also ask your veterinarian to prescribe some pet motion sickness medicine to relieve your dog’s discomfort.
