Taking Your Poodle On Vacation

If you are going to be Taking Your Poodle On Vacation  make sure you have a second checklist for any and all of your dogs needs as well as your own.  It's difficult enough to remember all of the things you will need for yourself and your kids on the trip, let alone for your pet.

Packing for a pet should be just like packing for a child and you should make a list of all of the important items that you will need on the road.

Safety Tips For Taking Your Poodle On Vacation

Medicines - Before you travel, make a visit to your vet. You have to ensure if your pet is in good health before traveling. Also ask your vet to give you a list of medications that you may need when you are traveling. If your pet is on some medications make sure to pick up some refills.
Train your pet with the Kennel or Carrier - Before traveling, make sure you train your pet to be comfortable with the Kennel or Carrier. The kennel is the safest way for your pet to travel. It is mandatory in most flights to carry your pet in a carrier or a kennel. Also some hotels, would want you to keep your pet in the kennel when you are out of your room.
Food bowl and Can Opener - It is best to keep your pet on the same diet that he or she is accustomed to. It will prevent your pet from getting sick in the stomach. If your pet likes to eat canned food, then you should have an opener to feed him/her. Make sure you feed water regularly to keep your pet hydrated.
Cleaning supplies - Carry a good quality lint brush and some stain removers. Always clean up as much as you can before you leave a room.
