We travel with our dogs on long and short trips.
If your dog will be in the truck, I hope he
will be riding indside with you.

TO help make your trip more enjoyable be prepared with
doggie gear on your trip.(I pack more for our dogs
than us) lol
Bring water, food, bowl, bedding,extra leash and collar, tags,
brush, tick and flee stuff, tick remover tweezers,
first aid, current rabies certificate and vet info.and a towel
etc. etc.
IF you are staying in hotels, call ahead of time
to make sure they accept a dog.
Get yourself a AAA dog book on what hotels allow dogs.
If your camping make sure you have a Tree Trolley or a
10' cable to tie the pup up. Never leave the pup
alone in the car for a long period of time.
If the weather to warm, you can
NOT leave the pup in the car.
We travel with the dogs in the Spring/or Fall when the weather
is cool. You will loose a lot of freedom by taking your pooch,
but if you are a worry wart like me, the rewards
of doggie company outways the cons.
I too would be afraid to fly my dogs.
