When you travel with your dog, plan ahead to ensure that your dog is comfortable and safe. The following tips can help:
Book dog-friendly accommodation early. Dog-friendly accommodation can book up quickly, particularly during school holidays and public holidays. Book your accommodation well in advance to ensure that you get the dates you want.
Bring your dog's essentials. Bring your dog's food, water bowl, bed, toys, and medication. Bring enough food for the entire trip, as you may not be able to buy your dog's usual food at your destination.
Plan for exercise. Plan regular exercise stops during your journey. Dogs need to stretch their legs and go to the toilet every few hours. Plan your route to include dog-friendly parks or rest stops.
Keep your dog safe in the car. Secure your dog in the car with a harness or a crate. Do not allow your dog to sit on your lap or stick its head out the window. Make regular stops to check on your dog and provide water.
Clean up after your dog. Carry a supply of dog waste bags and clean up after your dog. Dispose of the waste in a bin or take it with you if there is no bin available.
