Pack a Selection of Leashes for your Dog
- When you travel with your dog, a short walking leash will not be the best to use if you must tie him up in a yard or campsite. Similarly, walking on a trail or roaming through open fields requires different leashes. Use a short walking leash for trails and a long, retractable leash for open areas.

Pet-Friendly Advantage Rent-A-Car
- Advantage Rent-A-Car is the most pet-friendly car rental company I have ever used! There is no deposit, and they only charge if your animal damages something. They also have a fundraising program with TravelPets.Com where they donate revenue to a program for service dogs. What a great company! Others could definitely learn a trick or two from them!

Planning for Emergencies
- Emergencies can happen at any time. While on vacation an emergency can take on greater proportions, especially if you haven't planned ahead! Here are a few tips.

Before you leave on vacation get your veterinarian's name, address and phone number and an emergency number if they have one.
Get a copy of your pet's medical records, health and vaccination certificate, and any prescriptions. This is especially important if you plan to travel out of the country.
Take along Milk of Magnesia or activated charcoal. In an emergency you may want to administer one of these products. Of course, if possible, contact the Poison Center or a veterinarian before administering.
Prepare a list of emergency contacts, and if possible call ahead to locate veterinarians at your destination.
