Tips For Traveling With A Pet – Part 2
October 20th, 2017
Hello, and welcome back to our blog! Last time we gave you several tips on traveling with your pet. We talked about what things you should be packing, how to plan your itinerary and make sure you buckle up your pet. If you missed out and would like to read part one, you can find it here. However, if you've already read it, keep reading to discover several more ways to be prepared next time you go on a road trip with your furry little companion.
Take weather into consideration
Weather can have a much bigger impact on a dog's behavior than ours and because of that, it's important to know what the weather will be like on your trip. If there's a lot of rain and thunder where you're going, your dog may be scared and need more attention than usual. This would be a good time to spend the day inside maybe watching a movie or reading a book. This way you're not leaving your pet alone on a day like this.
If it's snowing, your pet may have an uncanny obsession with jumping in the snow and tracking it inside. If this is the case, you may want to bring extra towels or use a gate to keep your pet in one section of the RV. Either way, if your dog is predictable enough, you'll know the best way to handle these situations.
Be a responsible pet owner
Most people enjoy having pets around, whether it's at the park or an RV resort. However, it's important to respect peoples' space and safety. With that being said, if your dog leaves a mess behind, barks often, plays rough or has violent tendencies, you'll want to make sure you take care of these before they become an issue with other visitors.
Enjoy the company
Whether you're traveling alone or with the family, the most important thing about traveling with a pet is to enjoy their company. If you have kids, this is a great opportunity to teach them about the responsibilities involved in taking care of a pet. If you're traveling alone, a pet will keep you company after a long day on the road.
Traveling with a pet can be a great experience if you're prepared. For more helpful RV travel tips, stay tuned to our blog. If you're in need of electric over hydraulic brakes, contact Performance Trailer Braking today!
"Attention to detail and professional manner"
I attended one of Dennis' seminars at a Grand Design rally. There were so many in attendance that had an excellent personal experience with Dennis' work that I was immediately comfortabl Read Moree with his recommendations.
I was so convinced that he was the only one I wanted to do my suspension upgrade that I towed my rig all the way from CA to UT so we could catch him.
Yesterday, Dennis installed Slipper Springs on my 2022 Grand Design Solitude 310GK-R. His attention to detail and professional manner was the best I have experienced.
To make it even better, Dennis is just a nice guy to do business with. I highly recommend his services.

"Thank you all"
Just wanted to give a shout out to the installation team that works through your company, Josh and Heather Shrader. They installed my brake kit today on my 5th wheel trailer. They were Read Moreboth very professional, they both took time to explain what they were doing and invited me to ask any questions that I might have. Their work was done in a timely manner and when they were done their work area was left clean and all old parts were placed in one spot with all cardboard for easy disposal. It was a real pleasure to have met them both. And by the way, the new disc brakes are awesome! Thank you all.
