Traveling with Your Dog - Packing List

11/1/2013

 

Every pet needs a packing list!

In my last post, I gave 7 tips for traveling with your dog.  I have put together a packing list for road tripping with your pooch. 

Every passionate traveler needs a packing list -both human and canine! 
​
Here's what we always pack for our pets - and sometimes I think we put more effort in making sure their suitcase is in order before our own! Such is the life of a pampered pooch!


  • Plenty of food in a sturdy collapsible bag, plus food scoop.
  • Treats.
  • Collapsible food and water dishes.
  • Gulpy water bottle for walks.
    • Extra water in the car for long road trips.
  • Collar with identification tags.
  • Leash and back up leash.
  • Clean up bags.
  • Favourite toy - as the ultimate reward and comfort item.
  • "Okay" level toy - we bring his 3rd or 4th favourite. Enough of a treat for a distraction, not enough to make him hyper and excited. 
  • Spiked "anchor" to twist into the ground at the campground to attach a leash to.
  • Plastic coated cable to attach to the anchor to give your dog more running length instead of a leash.
  • Bed or blanket.
  • Vaccination records.
  • A list of canine resources in the area (veterinarians, pet hotels, specialty shops).
  • Medication and other special health products.
  • First aid kit. 
  • Specialized equipment, if required (a life jacket, a winter coat)
  • Dog friendly bug spray and sunscreen.
  • A backpack to put it all in!


As always, I welcome and encourage your comments. Is there anything else I should add to the list?
