Traveling with Your Dog
Checklists for Road Trip
• Find out in advance the place you are staying, hotels, motels, parks, campgrounds, or your friend's house, welcome your dog.
• Place the "Do Not Disturb" sign outside your door when you go out so an unsuspecting maid doesn't come in and inadvertently let your dog out.
• Consider bringing along a portable kennel for use in hotel rooms or the homes of friends or relatives who are not comfortable with your pet loose when no one is home.
• Retain a sense of identity like a current tag and/or a microchip. It's good idea to have a special identification tag in addition to its regular one. Write the pet's name, your name, the person to contact at the destination, their phone number, a destination address, or any other contact information, in case you want to be reached.
• Grooming (bathing, combing, trimming nails) before a trip
• Pack her favorite food, water, favorite toy(s), leash, dishes, and any medicine your dog might be taking.
• Have both proof of rabies vaccination and a current health certificate
• When you get a hotel room, beware of toilets with blue toilet bowl cleaner. Keep the lid closed so your dog can't drink the water.
• Unless it is obvious, ask the hotel clerk if dogs are allowed in the hotel lobby.
