I'm going to take my dog with me on a two-week trip, but I'm not sure what to pack. Do you have any suggestions?

Before you leave, do a bit of research about your destination to find out the names and phone numbers of emergency veterinary clinics there. Make a list and bring that with you, along with a list of local parks and other canine-friendly destinations. You should also bring your dog's crate or bed, so that your furry friend will have a safe and familiar rest and sleeping spot available at all times. Obtain a certificate of health from your veterinarian beforehand, showing that your dog has all of its necessary vaccines and is in good condition. ID tags are a must, as is a photo of your pet in case it gets lost. Medication, towels, food bowls and water bowls, bottled water, dog food, treats and your dog's favorite toys should also go in your pet's travel bag.
