012: 6 Tips for Traveling with your Dog

Whether you fancy a well planned out itinerary or the spontaneous weekend getaway, trippin’ of any sort can be rather difficult when you have four legged responsibilities at home so we’ve put together a handy list of sh*t you need to pack and do to keep your sanity in check when making the big decision to take your fur-babies along for the ride.

1. Schedule Trips in the Cooler Climates and Off Seasons
2. Keep on track with your pets regularly scheduled meals and definitely Do NOT feed them junk food while on vacation
3. Store dog food inside an air tight container with it’s original packaging intact
4. Don’t forget the doggy gear! Your pooch needs a few things to be comfortable and not become a whinny backseat beast
5. Check out the Dog Lover’s Companion book series for California and the Pacific Northwest
6. Regular bathroom breaks and leg stretching required

Blu road tripped with us for thousands of miles through California, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and even Canada. She made us feel safe traveling around this crazy country of ours and we wouldn’t have done it any other way. Christmas 2014 was our last “staycation” with Blu. We took those last two weeks and spoiled her silly as she quickly declined losing her ability to walk but never losing her sparkle. She was the rambunctious light of our lives and went out in a spectacular flurry of hamburger parties and junk food heaven. We miss her everyday and hopefully one day we can bring ourselves to welcome another puppy into our lives but for now we may just cross over to the dark side with a little kitteh’ since the thought of trying to replace Blu seems outrageously impossible.
