Four tips for traveling with dogs - Road trip tips
Traveling with your beloved pooch often takes the same careful planning as hitting the road with young children. Utilize these tips to ensure a smooth ride:- Give your pup a thorough brushing before loading him into the car, greatly reducing the amount of flying fur.
- Pack travel necessities for your road trip like water and a bowl, treats, paper towels, and cleanup bags.
- Unless your dog requires specialty food, don't try to squeeze a bag of food into your already packed car: stop and purchase a bag once you arrive.
- Identify places to stop prior to leaving to assure your doggie can relieve himself and strech every few hours.

Putting towels or big 'ol blankets down on the seats of your car are great for keeping the upholstery clean (from pet hair or it helps too if they get car sick). Be sure to give them at least a little water if you're driving very far. When you stop they need a little bit to drink - we usually sip on something as we drive. A day's travels are long with no hydration at all for your pup. As for packing pet food, you can get a lot of small little travel size bags of dog food completely FREE on Http://bit.ly/petcrazy Just look for the Free Stuff page on the site.
