[I. Four Advantages of Traveling with Dogs]
①It’s good to move your body
Pets benefit from proper exercise in their natural environment, and owners can exercise together to reduce stress. Taking your pet to nature regularly for some proper exercise can improve their blood circulation, increase their appetite, and strengthen their resistance to disease. Especially for large dogs, simple exercise in the community is far from enough, so taking them to play in open spaces in the suburbs can be very beneficial.
Exercise not only makes your pet’s cardiovascular system, motor system and digestive organs stronger and healthier, it also promotes the health of the owner. It certainly makes owners happy to watch their pets running happily around the countryside, wagging their tails.
② Closer to the master
Traveling with your pet can shorten the relationship between pet and owner. By playing games with them, you can do many of the games you can’t normally play at home or in the community, such as getting a Frisbee and throwing a ball. If you go to the beach, owners can swim in the water with their pets, which will bring them closer to their owners.
③ Baby knows the other half
When you travel, you still have the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. Many pets find their significant others while traveling and give birth to beautiful next generations.
④Capture the moment
If you want to take your pet on a trip, you better have a self-contained car so you don’t cause trouble for others and can always take care of your pet. Traveling with your pet not only makes it committed to nature and easy to take care of it, but you can also capture lots of wonderful baby photos and when you come back, rearrange the photos and create a travel album for your baby on your blog that they are sure to be proud of for a long time.

[II. Four ways to train your dog not to get carsick]
It’s common to take your dog out, whether it’s for an outing, shopping or visiting relatives, but what about when your dog gets carsick and vomits like crazy in the car?
① Practice in an unstarted car before you walk your dog every day. Put the dog in the passenger seat, with you in the driver’s seat, give him some tasty treats and talk to him. After training, take him out and let him associate the car with play. Train at least 5 times a week for 20 minutes each time.
② The same method for a car that starts but stops in place.
③ Drive slowly for 50 meters and stop on a busy street to let the dog get used to the noise of the street. The rest is the same.
④ Gradually extend the driving time and mileage to allow the dog to adjust slowly.
Caution:
At first you have to force him to get in the car, and after a few times he will get in on his own.
2. The dog is bound to vomit a few times during this process. As soon as he vomits, stop and comfort him. You cannot lose your temper.
3. Progress will be repeated, so don’t rush.
4. Most importantly, keep it tethered where it can’t climb on the driver and be safe.
5. Accelerate slowly when driving, slow down early when turning, and ventilate when turning.

①Traction rope
Pets are happy and excited outdoors and sometimes not as obedient as they are at home. There is a lot of insecurity outdoors, so a leash is an essential piece of travel equipment that will keep your pet moving within a safe range.
② Sufficient water and food and portable feeding tools
Bring your pet’s usual favorite food and water, and try not to eat other foods to avoid diarrhea and vomiting when you travel.
③Fleece sleeping bag
Opens to exactly the width of a double bed. Even if your pet goes to bed, it won’t dirty the bed and is absorbent enough to absorb the water your pet brings.
④ Bath soap and absorbent towels
Sea water is not good for your pet’s skin, so bring a bath soap and absorbent towel to clean up in time for when you return from water play.
⑤ Insect repellent sprays
Pets love to play in the grass, but there can be a lot of insects and mosquitoes. At this point, a bottle of insect repellent spray is the best helper for owners to keep your pet playing comfortably and free from fleas ticks and mosquitoes.
⑥Clothing
When traveling in the summer, give your dog a pet sun hat for style and shade. For short-haired dogs, choose an undershirt with a thin, breathable texture to avoid sunburned skin. When traveling in winter, you can choose clothes that are warm for your dog. In addition, raincoats and shoes can also be prepared for your dog depending on the specific climate and geography of your travel destination.

[Four, seven misconceptions about driving out with dogs]
①Put the dog in the passenger seat
Some people like to save time and put their dog directly next to the driver in the passenger seat so they can see the dog while driving. In fact, this is very unscientific. First of all, people can’t protect their dogs very well, regardless of their size, and most people drive to the suburbs on long, fast roads where it’s easy to hurt the dog when braking. In addition, if the dog is dishonest, it can also affect the driver’s driving, which can easily cause danger.
Correct: puppy in air box on back seat; big dog directly on back seat, drive with speed control and avoid braking as much as possible.
②Let the dog run wild
When you get to the suburbs, dogs can seem very excited. At this time of year, many owners let their dogs run around. City dogs are much less fit than their counterparts, and often dogs with accidental fractures from suburban running go to animal hospitals for emergency care.
The right thing to do: The owner should control the dog on a leash to familiarize him with the environment and choose a flatter area for the dog to exercise.
③ Let your dog swim
When the weather is hot, dogs love to swim in the water. In fact, there are many hidden dangers that threaten your dog’s safety in the wild. Dogs on leashes can trip over aquatic plants or dead branches in the river, and dogs can be at risk because they stray into the mud.
The right thing to do:When you get to the river, grab the dog first. If it is a river with a pebble bottom, you can usually let the dog go down and be sure to untie the dog’s leash before going into the water. In addition, polluted rivers should not allow dogs to swim.
④ Keep the dog in the car
Some owners get tired of playing and are ready to eat, and restaurants don’t allow dogs in, so owners keep them in the car. In fact, cars are not safe. In the sun, the temperature of the car rises dramatically, and such an environment may kill the dog in only half an hour.
The right thing to do:Bring your own dry food and enjoy a suburban lunch with your dog under the shade of a tree, preferably parked in a shady spot to avoid exposure to the sun.
⑤ Owner shows off, dog suffers
Many dogs attract many bystanders as soon as they appear in a crowd because of their appearance or majesty, cuteness and intelligence. It is natural to be happy to be the owner when your own is praised, but it should not be forgotten. Some parents will loosen the leash and allow their dogs mainly the big ones to perform fully. In such a crowded and noisy environment, this can be stimulating for the dog. The dog may run around and get hit by a car on the road, or the dog may bite out of nervousness.
The right way: When there are many people, parents should shorten the leash and keep the dog firmly under control. For curious children, parents should advise them to keep a safe distance from the dog to avoid the dog wanting the child.
⑥ Have fun
Having lived in the city for a long time, in the suburbs, people and dogs are very excited. Some parents will try to throw a ball or Frisbee for the dog to pick up. The dog runs more and more excitedly and strenuously, causing the dog’s body to produce a lot of heat. Excessive strenuous exercise can even endanger the dog’s life if it is in the hot sun.
The right thing to do is to avoid strenuous activity in the afternoon and to have enough clean drinking water for your dog.
⑦ The embarrassment of encountering a dog free entry
Unlike our own hiking trips, travel with dogs is limited in some ways, and dogs are not allowed in general parks and tourist areas. Therefore, it is important to ask ahead of time and choose the right route to travel with your dog to avoid being turned away.
The right thing to do: choose the natural beauty of the suburbs over parks, tourist areas and other crowded places. Many parts of the suburbs are now beautiful and suitable for hiking. But be careful not to trespass into forested areas that are banned by the state, and don’t go to places that are too remote to avoid danger. 6

[V. Seven things to consider when traveling with your dog on the mountain]
Usually you have to want to take your dog with you on a trip to climb a mountain, taking your dog out is also an exercise, exposing him to nature, to nature and strangers is a special experience, the more experience your pet dog has, so the better his personality and will be smarter, but what should you look for when traveling with your dog?
① Pay attention to the breed of the dog
Many dogs are family types, like my two dogs, one of whom is a poodle
and the other is a shih tzu. They respond very differently to the outside. Poodles are hunting dogs, so they can adapt to many situations in the mountains and have good stamina, whereas Shih Tzus are different. They are reward dogs and are not suited for long walks or mountain trails, so I would never take him with me when I go to the mountains. So, if you want to take your dog out, you have to be aware of his own breed and type. There is a big physical difference between dogs of different breeds. If you have to enjoy your dog going very far, you have to pay attention to rest or strengthen the exercise from the beginning instead of forcing it.
② Pay attention to training methods
Many dogs show more fear when they encounter some difficult places, such as walking on a far rock for the first time, or needing to cross a river, at this point you can’t use beatings and scolding, but should try to encourage your dog to overcome his fear, come on, don’t get used to him, let him understand his ability to get through, many times dogs will take advantage of their owner’s psychology, in the past, I took my poodle many times through the mountains of hanging ladders. As a result, once a friend saw him walking cautiously and holding him in fear. So on the way back, he looked afraid to pass. He looked back at my friend, expecting my friend to hold him across the bridge again. So we all must be careful how we nurture and if he can finish, make sure he does it on his own, not accommodate him.
③ Prepare drinking water and food
The dog can drink directly from the mountain spring outside, do not worry too much, but it is recommended that you or try to prepare enough drinking water for him, the dog travels long distances or needs to replenish water, in fact, it does not matter if he does not eat for a long time, but the water must be ready, drinking water can be drunk directly by hand, the bowl is wasteful and inconvenient to carry; according to my experience, the most convenient food is boiled eggs, nutritious and the dog likes to eat. According to my family’s 20 pounds of VIP, preparing four eggs is enough for his half-day ration.
④ Night rest
Try not to take your dog too far into the mountains, if you can get there and back in one day it is best, but if you are staying out, always remember to keep your dog on a leash when you go to bed. If you have an evening activity, it’s best to take him with you too. Don’t leave him alone in unfamiliar surroundings, it’s a special experience for the dog to be allowed to play with everyone and it’s not safe to leave the dog alone in a hotel.
⑤ Rain and sun protection
Traveling in the mountains often involves showers, so it’s a good idea to bring a rain-proof outfit for your dog. The truth is that dogs don’t care about rain, but getting their hair wet can make them susceptible to colds. It’s best to be prepared for your dog’s health. The hot summer sun should pay attention to the heat protection work, try to avoid long exposure and walking, take your time, too tired might as well stop and enjoy the scenery along the way.
⑥Cleaning
When you are playing in the mountains, many people will i.e. bathe their dogs because it is really dirty to play in nature all day, but I suggest you better let your dogs rest first and let them rest and recover overnight. The next morning, when you slow down, give the dog a bath and blow dry.
⑦ Be safe
Try to walk within safe limits. If you encounter a cliff or a difficult section of road, it is best to guide your dog on a leash. On the one hand, you can try to overcome the dog’s fear. On the other hand, maybe the leash can also save the dog’s life in a dangerous moment.
[Ark Review]
To keep dogs from getting hungry, many dog parents give their dogs a lot of food before traveling and start strenuous exercise before the dog has fully digested the food. This is not good for the digestion and absorption of the food and secondly, it can easily cause gastric torsion as the stomach is full of food. Try to avoid letting the dog run on hilly roads with high gradients, because dogs living in the city have less exposure to sunlight and are prone to calcium and vitamin D deficiency, and their bones are not hard enough, which can easily cause limb fractures when running and jumping. When playing in the suburbs, once you find that the dog has bitten some foreign objects, such as stones, small logs, etc., do not grab them immediately, you should take advantage of the fact that it is not ready to grab them, in order to prevent the dog from swallowing foreign objects, resulting in esophageal blockage or foreign gastritis. I’m sure the dog’s parents are looking forward to playing with their dog in the green hills and water as well. As long as they’re prepared, spring excursions will be some of the best memories ever!
