The other day I decided to google "taking your dog on a long road trip" and my my, did I find some seriously useful links with tips and tricks to keeping your dog safe, happy, and healthy while on a road trip. Everything from bringing bottled water for the dog to drink, to researching animal hospitals along your route, to getting anti-anxiety medication for your dog in case they grow tired and anxious from being in a moving vehicle for days and weeks at a time.
Since Vida is a rescue and she has shown some anxiety issues, this last one sounds like it might not be a bad idea. But puppy valium? Not sure if I can do that to our girl.
It's really important to us that she has a good time, since she'll be our precious cargo and 3rd traveling companion on this trek across the country. We are already starting to research areas that allow dogs to be off-leash without a license, since Vida-Long-Legs LOVES to run!
If any dog owners out there have any advice on how to create a comfortable road-tripping environment for man's best friend, we definitely welcome it!
