Dog Road Trip Breaks

Taking regular breaks during a road trip is vital for your dog’s comfort and health. Plan to stop every two to three hours to let your dog stretch, walk, and relieve themselves. Look for pet-friendly rest areas or parks where your dog can have some off-leash time if allowed. Carry a portable water bowl and fresh water for hydration, and offer a small snack if needed. Use this time for a short play session or training exercises to keep them mentally stimulated. Make sure your dog is securely on a leash before opening the camper door to avoid accidents. These breaks will help reduce travel anxiety, prevent stiffness, and keep your dog happy and relaxed throughout the journey.
