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!

"Thanks again for the great experience!"
Kelly,
It has been an awesome experience thanks to you, Michael, Preston and Alyssa. After finishing a conference call about 10:00 AM this morning, I hooked up the RV and pulled it o Read Moren a 60 mile round trip just to check it out. WOW! Huge improvement in ride and the brakes are phenomenal! We have our first trip with the new setup next week. Looking forward to that more than ever!
I never shared the following story. My neighbor at the storage facility installed disc brakes on his Grand Design toy hauler. He recommended a company in Weatherford, Texas. I made three attempts to set up an appointment over the last 5 months. Each time something on their end came up that changed that, or they were incomplete in details requested.
This is when I went to Utube and discovered Performance Braking. I was shocked and very pleased when I found out that your installers come to us. The other company required two days with the RV after I delivered it. I was even more shocked to find a company that responds to questions after hours like Michael did, even when it was my mistake that led to that need.
Thanks again for the great experience! I will not hesitate to share that experience with others when the opportunity presents itself.

"Installed to my expectations"
Dennis Hageman installed the disc brakes and suspension system yesterday.
We tested the brakes out and they are fantastic.
Dennis installed the system quickly and to my expectati Read Moreons. He even got the weather here to be perfect for such a project. :) He was patient to explain how things worked and how things worked with my pickup.
