How to prepare your dog for a travel

1. Research💻 and Plan Ahead🗓️: Before embarking on your trip, take the time to research dog-friendly airlines (or other transportation like trains), accommodations, attractions, and activities at your destination. Look for hotels, vacation rentals, or campgrounds that explicitly welcome pets. We like to use Airbnb and Booking.com. Check their policies, including any size or breed restrictions, additional fees, and whether they provide amenities like dog beds or food bowls. Planning ahead will ensure a smoother experience for both you and your furry friend.
2. Pack Essential Items for Your Dog🧳: When travelling with your dog, it's important to pack the necessary items to keep them comfortable and well-cared for. Some essential items include:
   • Food and water bowls
   • Sufficient food supply for the duration of the trip
   • Leash, collar with ID tags, and a harness
   • Bed or blanket for your dog's sleeping area
   • Favourite toys and chew treats for entertainment
   • Waste bags for cleaning up after your dog
   • Any necessary medications or health-related items
   • Jackets or other doggy clothing depending on the destination and season
3. Activities and Attractions that Allow Dogs✈️: While planning your itinerary, look for dog-friendly activities and attractions to enjoy with your furry companion. Many cities have dog parks, hiking trails, or outdoor spaces where dogs are welcome. Research dog-friendly restaurants or cafes that allow pets in their outdoor (or indoor!) seating areas. Engaging in activities that involve your dog will make the trip more enjoyable for both of you and create lasting memories!💖
