Going on long road trips can be tough on you and your dog. Here are a few tips to help make the trip a little less tiring and boring for you and your canine companions. First, plan to take frequent stops. You may be used to driving straight through to your destination, but your pup is going to need to take frequent stops for potty breaks and to stretch his legs. A general estimation for stopping is about every two hours or when your dog starts barking excessively as this may be an indication that he has to potty. Pack treats and meals for your pup so that you can get to them easily when stopping for a break. When looking for places to stop and rest, choose rest areas that have a designated dog walking area.
