Traveling with your dog?

Vacations are a lot of fun and a big part of summer for many families.  But what about the dog.  Pets  for the most art do need a vacation but if you want them to come along be sure you are prepared.

1. Take plenty of food and clean water as well as dishes.
• You will need to be sure you have plenty of the food that your dog normally eats, this will help prevent stomach illness.
2. Be ready to make frequent pit stops and always use a secure leash and collar
3. If you are going to a hotel be sure your pet will be welcome.
4. Do not let your dog ride loose in the bed of a pick truck
5. NEVER LEAVE A PET IN A CLOSED NON-RUNNING VEHICLE
• Your car will get 10+ degrees hotter than it is outside (even in the shade)
• Your pet can suffer a fatal heat stoke in a matter of minutes
• Many towns and counties through out the US have laws against living a pet unattended in a car at certain temperatures.
