How To TAke a Dog on a Trip

My dog Diamond is in the mood for a trip, so she wanted me to talk about how to take a dog on a trip.

First, decide if your dog can stand being inside a car or a box for a few hours. If it can't don't take it on a trip.

If it can be in a container or a car for a few hours, by all means, take it on a trip.

Make sure if you are to put thedogin a container that it is well ventilated and very secure.

If you need to stop at a hotel before you end your trip and you have a dog with you, consider which hotels allow petsand which don't. Book withtheone that does allow pets.

Remember if yo uare on a driving trip to let the dog eliminate every few hours. If you don't, you're bound to have a very wet, very gross surprise.

If you are going on an airplane with a dog, note that if the dogis bigger than carry-on size, it will have to be put in withthe luggage. The luggage department has no temperature control, so if you're traveling through cold places on your trip, you might want to bring a blanket for your dog.

Airlines have been known to lose dogs in planes. Definitely take that into consideration.

If you travel overseas, the dog will have to be quarantined for about ten days. Keep that in mind also.

Happy traveling!
