Find Dog-Friendly Places
When you’re planning your vacation, look for
dog-friendly hotels, parks and even restaurants both at your destination and
along the way. Book a dog-friendly hotel or other accommodations at your destination,
and keep a list of these places handy in case you need them on the road.
Keep Your Dog Safe
Make sure that your dog stays on a leash at all
times when you’re out of the car, such as at rest areas. Your dog should also
have updated vaccinations and microchip information. Bring a list of animal
hospitals with you in case your dog does get sick or injured during your
vacation. You should also bring medications that your dog takes, and make sure
these are refilled before your trip if needed. When you’re in the car, your dog
should have a seatbelt on for safety. Look into seatbelt harnesses that provide
a secure yet comfortable way to make sure that your dog stays buckled in while
you're on the road.
Pack for Your Pup
Your dog might not need a suitcase full of
clothes, but there are certain items you should pack for your pup. Bring your
dog’s food and water dishes, and provide plenty of water on the trip. You can
also bring your dog’s favorite treats and toys, along with a first aid kit for
pets and blankets to make the car extra comfortable.
If your planned summer vacation isn’t a
dog-friendly one, consider dog
boarding to give your pet
somewhere safe and fun to stay. While you go away on your vacation, your dog
can enjoy a perfectly dog-friendly vacation with other dogs and plenty of room
to play. Contact DoGone Fun for more information about our dog boarding services in Chicago.
