Whether you\u2019re travelling to the countryside to embark on scenic walks or you\u2019re taking a trip to the seaside for some sand-filled fun, it\u2019s bound to be an adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But to make your break as hassle-free as possible, you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re prepared well in advance. This includes taking care of all the practicalities before setting off on your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These top tips will ensure you and your pup are fully organised and ready to explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Create a packing list<\/strong><br>No trip preparation is complete without a detailed list of what to pack. You\u2019ll want to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Food<\/strong> \u2013 make sure you take your pup\u2019s regular food with you. This is especially important if they\u2019re used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.burgesspetcare.com\/shop\/dog-food\/sensitive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">sensitive dog food that offers the best nutrition for them<\/a>. The last thing you\u2019ll want to be doing when you arrive is searching the shops for your dog\u2019s favourite kibble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Water<\/strong> \u2013 ensure you have plenty of fresh water to hand when travelling with your pup. You\u2019ll also want to include your dog\u2019s regular bowls and dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crate<\/strong> \u2013 if your pooch is used to travelling in a crate, then it\u2019s essential to use it on your journey. This will help ensure they feel safe and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bed<\/strong> \u2013 your dog will feel more at home and comfortable if they can sleep in their usual bed.<br>Collar and lead \u2013 it\u2019s vital to take a collar and lead to help keep your pup under control and returned to you safely should you get separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Research accommodation<\/strong><br>Make sure the place you are staying in is dog friendly. You might also want to check out local dog-friendly cafes, pubs, beaches and activities nearby so you can plan your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another top tip when travelling with your pooch is to <a href=\"https:\/\/findavet.rcvs.org.uk\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">find the local vets\u2019 practice<\/a> in case of any emergency while you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do a trial car journey<\/strong><br>If your dog is not used to travelling, you might want to practice being in the car for a short time before embarking on your trip. Get them accustomed to the space and motion of the vehicle and use a safety belt, crate or harness if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pack a bag of supplies for the car<\/strong><br>If you\u2019re heading off on a long journey, you might want to take a separate, smaller pack for the car. This could include food, a dog water bottle, treats and wipes. This will mean you don\u2019t need to unpack your main luggage when you make your stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Take all relevant documents<\/strong><br>If you\u2019re travelling abroad with your dog, you\u2019ll need to take the right documents. You\u2019ll usually need an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/taking-your-pet-abroad\/getting-an-animal-health-certificate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">animal health certificate<\/a> and proof of a rabies vaccine but you should check the requirements of the country you\u2019re travelling to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these steps beforehand, you\u2019ll ensure both you and your pooch are prepared for some exciting holiday adventures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Article Supplied<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking your beloved pooch away with you is exciting for both you and your dog.
