Or a move cross-country? If you are bringing your pets along for the ride, a little preparation goes a long way! Hit the road stress-free with the following tips for traveling with <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/can-i-leave-my-dog-in-a-hot-car.html\">dogs in a car <\/a>long distance. You can never be too prepared when it comes to traveling with your pooch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-buckle-up-safety-first\"><strong>1. Buckle up! Safety first.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/osfbl01.justfoodfordogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/dog-car-family-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"traveling with dogs in car long distance\" class=\"wp-image-11302\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For short trips or long trips, car safety is just as important for your dog as it is for you. Don\u2019t let your dog ride without protection. There are a number of dog seat belts, car seats, and travel crates on the market designed for doggie car rides. Many products have even been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerforpetsafety.org\/test-results\/harnesses\/cps-approved-harnesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crash-tested<\/a>. Create a safe and comfortable car travel space for your dog that works best with your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-first-aid\"><strong>2. First aid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should keep a human <em>and<\/em> pet first aid kit in your car for emergencies. Here is a list of dog first aid kit essentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Documentation and medical records\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>List of vaccinations, vet phone number, license, ID, local emergency clinics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prescription medications, if any<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bandages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3% hydrogen peroxide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Styptic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alcohol wipes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tweezers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gauze<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency contact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspcapro.org\/resource\/how-make-pet-first-aid-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASPCA\u2019s website <\/a>for a complete guide on how to make your pet first aid kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bonus travel tip<\/em>: <em>Car sickness is no fun. Limit your dog\u2019s food intake before the ride. If your dog is susceptible to motion sickness, talk to your vet. They may recommend an anti-nausea medication or sedative for long car trips.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-plan-rest-stops-ahead-of-time\"><strong>3. Plan rest stops ahead of time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/osfbl01.justfoodfordogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dog-on-a-walk-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"dog on a walk\" class=\"wp-image-11096\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Map out rest stops, dog parks, or national parks along your route where you can take your dog on a nice long walk. For long-distance travel, stop to take your dog out every 2-3 hours to stretch their legs and potty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For dog owners who need to grab some grub, don\u2019t leave your dog behind in the car. It\u2019s quick and easy for them to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/heat-exhaustion-in-pets-signs-and-what-to-do.html\">heat stroke<\/a>. Instead, look for dog-friendly places that allow you to sit outside to dine with your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bonus travel tip: Unfortunately, due to misinformation, some counties have breed restrictions or outright bans. Check if there are any laws that discriminate against your dog\u2019s breed along your driving route. If so, avoid stops in those areas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-expect-messes\"><strong>4. Expect messes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to long-distance car trips \u2014 with or without your dog \u2014 expect your car to get messy. Your dog will probably track in mud, dirt, sand, or even poop. You will likely spill your coffee or soda and get snack crumbs everywhere. Expect the unexpected! Keep plenty of wet wipes and paper towels on hand for cleanups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-note-your-destination-s-laws-amp-surroundings\"><strong>5. Note your destination\u2019s laws &amp; surroundings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/osfbl01.justfoodfordogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dog-beach-kids.jpg\" alt=\"dog and children on beach\" class=\"wp-image-11192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dog-beach-kids.jpg 720w, https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dog-beach-kids-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your pet-friendly hotel or Airbnb rules. Even if they are pet-friendly, they may have areas on the property that do not allow pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take note of where the nearest animal hospital is in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pet owners should always follow local leash laws and be sure their dog has a microchip in case they get lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-packing-list-for-dog-travel\"><strong>Packing List for Dog Travel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By being prepared before your long journey, you can focus more on having fun being present!
