With National Dog Day tomorrow you might have plans to travel to the beach, hiking trail, or the local dog park to celebrate! Lucky for you, this week Bennington Chevrolet is laying out some helpful tips for traveling with your pup below! So, take a peek to make your travels a little less RUFF! And if you haven’t serviced your ride in a while, be sure to schedule a service appointment today and skip the line later!

Bennington Chevrolet’s Pet Travel Checklist:

Lead, Collar, Leash, and ID tag: 

  • The last thing you want to happen is your dog to run off in a place they don’t know. So, make sure you keep your dog on their leash unless you’re in a leashless allowed area with an identification tag that has your phone number on it just in case! 

Food, water, bowls: 

  • Pups need to stay hydrated too! Especially if you’re both going out to do lots of activities! 

Doggy baggies: 

  • Bring waste disposable bags and be responsible for your pets “droppings”.

Crates and restraints: 

  • Even if your dog is usually a happy traveler, it isn’t safe for them to roam freely throughout the car, in the case of an accident. 

Toys!!!:

  • Always bring along a ball or tug of war toy to really get out all that extra energy your pup may have so that they’ll be ready to crash and relax later!
