KEEPING CLEAN ON THE ROAD

We’re taking an overnight trip, how can we keep our dog clean on the road?

Like people, dogs like to enjoy themselves when they travel. For most pets, this means exploring fascinating new scents, often in underbrush, around ponds or in other areas off the beaten path. Such jaunts may be fun for dogs, but they tend to leave paws, undersides and snouts covered with muck and dirt.

Unfortunately, many owners who remember to pack all the necessary pet supplies on their trip forget to take along cleanup items. You can avoid getting muddy paw prints on your car and lap by keeping cleanup wipes and dry shampoo in you vehicle, just in case your pets pick up unwanted souvenirs during an excursion.
