Memorial Day weekend signals the start of the vacation season and with it the RVs come out of storage to hit the road.
Planning will keep RVing dogs happy and safe. Liz Palika offers ideas in the following categories for those traveling with their pets:
- Where will the dog ride?
- The right dog stuff
- Stop often on the road
- Stopping for the night
- Daily routine
- Routine provides security

A routine for stopping, walking, potty breaks, water, snacks, meals, play time, and sleeping will ensure that traveling dogs know those important things will happen when they should. They can cope with many changes when all the important things happen when they should and with the people they know.
