General Dog Travel Rules

Since summer is here and we're all planning our vacation, here are some general rules to follow if you travel with your pets.

~ Be respectful to others. Not everyone is the dog lover you are. Do not impose.

~ Bring only well-trained, well-socialized dogs when traveling. A vacation is no place for remedial dog training.

~ Use a harness leash; it provides more security.

~ Update your dog's ID tags, license, and vaccinations.

~ Clean up after your dog; bring plenty of plastic bags for this purpose.

~ Bring your dog's own food from home. You may not be able to find it in another city or country and a quick change to new food can bring on digestive upset.

~ Keep your dog's safety first. Do not take him off leash or push him into uncomfortable or frightening situations.
