If you do not take advantage of the services of the increasingly popular dog hotel today, you will need to take your dog on vacation. And you are doing good. Spending time with your dog is a well spent time. Suppose you are traveling by car and the Czechs are still heading to the most popular destination – Croatia. We have more than a thousand kilometers there, and a week later, two, came back again. We spend quite a long time in the car. We can do it with a few breaks, but will it be enough for the dog?
When taking a dog on vacation or to a place to travel with a dog in a car, you need to adjust the dog\’s driving style. First of all, do not drive in the way of gas braking. The sporty driving style is suitable for you, but not for dogs. The dog is not allowed to fly around the cabin of the car, and even if it is well tied up, you risk hurting it.
You need to make sure that the dog stops quite often. He must be able to run, stretch, walk and drink. Do not rush to rest. Let your dog smell new and relax.
Do not give him anything to eat before driving. Dogs can withstand getting into a car, but their stomachs resist it. If you do not want to stain the car from the dog\’s vomit, do not give him a favorite snack.
Always secure the dog to the restraint system. It is for him and your good and safety. Even a dog in a transport box, or just handcuffed to a harness, will not get injured during a sudden brake and will not move through the cabin of the car. It is the dog wandering freely around the cabin that distracts the driver\’s attention and is the main cause of many accidents.
Do not forget to bring your dog\’s passport, where all mandatory vaccinations are recorded. If you forgot your vaccination card, you probably have a problem with your accommodation. Accommodation must strictly require this document. It protects its guests.
Be sure to bring a bowl of your dog\’s favorite food or drink. Putting them in a hotel room, you will greatly relieve his stress from staying in a new environment.
