The Holidays are here ! And they are prime time for traveling to visit friends, relatives, and loved ones. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking about how to travel with your dog.
As someone who has driven from state to state multiple times with my dogs I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge when it comes to traveling with my furry friends.
*Plan ahead ! Nothing like getting to grandmas only to find out cousin Ellie is highly allergic to dogs. Call your friends and relatives your visiting to make absolutely sure Rover is welcome.
*Make your route ensure if the trip is more then a few hours there are places along the way that are safe potty stops.
* Make absolutely sure at least two weeks prior to your trip pup is up to date on all vaccinations. Remember what might not be common in your home area may be a big deal bug a boo somewhere else . Flea tick and heartworm prevention is a super idea too.
*Take plenty of your pups food with you . Traveling can be stressful and changes in diet can cause nasty tummy issues. Don’t let your pet consume a lot of table food over the holidays either or that trip home may be eventful to say the least !
* Crates are a good idea and this author loves the Impact or Ruffland brand crate for trips. It keeps your pet safer in a smaller impact resistant crate when in the unfortunate event of an accident pup won’t be thrown in (or out of) a vehicle which can be deadly.
* If your staying in a hotel call ahead well in advance and make sure if uou have a lager dog the hotel doesnt have weight/size restrictions .

These few tips can help make things go smoother !

The before and after photos of a stenotic nostril repair.
This little guy suffered from stenotic nostrils.
This can happen in certain breeds like Bulldogs , Pugs , Boston Terriers etc (usually the flat nosed breeds)and can cause everything from mild inconveniences of deep snoring to severe apnea which can shorten lifespan.
Our surgeries are usually quick, effective and very reasonable in price. Downtime is minimal as is risk.
We will do puppies as young as 8 weeks up to adults .
Give your pet the gift of easy breathing !
