hi everyone. ive been around dog forums for ages (as logo or pepsia) but quit a few years ago. ive made a brief return to pick your lovely reservoirs of knowledge for roadtrip/moving advice.
suggestions or sage words of advice?
logan is a male, neutered, 6 y/o perfectly ridgeless ridgeback with excellent manners and a serious penchant for food. ~ 95 lbs. we are traveling from Chicago to California in 4 days, a permanent move. we are not taking a crate.
we are going to do all the normal humane things, have water/food, stop every 4 hours, walk the dog, poo/pee, feed him, make sure he is in good health. we are super awesome amazingly responsible trustworthy dog owners. he wont be left in the car alone or any nonsense. mainly im asking about suggestions of things to bring that would not normally spring to mind.
thoughts...
ive heard drinking water changes can cause digestive upset. anyone have any validation for this? should i bring lots of bottled water?
rest areas... ive heard dog people say to stay far away from rest areas altogether. opinions?
recommended items for a doggy first aid kit? recommended hotel chains? any all suggestions will be tremendously appreciated.
take care everyone, love your pets.xx
