ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — You booked your stay at a one-of-a-kind cabin in upstate New York, and the Catskills are calling your name, but what about your best furry friend, Rufus? How do you pack for an epic vacation that you and pet will both enjoy? This summer, here are the Top 5 tips for a pet-friendly road trip.
1. Bring the Toys
Pets, especially dogs, need mental stimulation in addition to daily exercise. Grab an old gym bag, a tote, or buy Rufus a special suitcase, and pack it full of your pet’s favorite toys. Be sure to include some high-stimulating toys like tennis balls, a frisbee, toys you can stuff with treats or a favorite chew toy. Your pet definitely won’t be asking ‘are we there yet?’.
2. Road Snacks
No road trip is complete without great snacks for you and your pet. But what should you bring for snacks? Our favorite travel-friendly foods are Instinct®Raw Boost Mixers and Freeze-Dried Raw Meals. Made with responsibly sourced meat, non-GMO fruits and vegetables plus other wholesome ingredients, freeze-dried products are the perfect protein-packed food to bring on your road trip!
3. Run and Play
We all need to hit up rest stops for the occasional break, and so does your dog. In fact, Rufus might need more breaks than you think! Plan your route to include dog-friendly rest areas and dog parks so they can stretch their legs with a quick game of fetch. We often underestimate how much exercise our pets…
