RV Travel with Dogs
Love That Journey RV's tips include:
Know your dog and what their tolerances are. Remember, your dog is now travelling and being introduced to new experiences and situations they’re not familiar with.
Take time to train your dogs. If they’re not well behaved at home, they definitely won’t be well behaved in new environments.
Know how your dog interacts with new people and new dogs. Don’t assume every person or dog you encounter is nice and wants to have a positive interaction with your dog.
If your dog is aggressive or reactive, don’t create situations that will put them in close contact with other dogs. You should also be sure to over communicate your need for space from others.
Plan activities that include your dogs.
Make sure you’re up to date on vaccinations, flea and tick protection, and heartworm prevention. Bring documentation from your vet just in case you need to provide it to a campground.
“If your dog is allowed on your couch or bed at home, plan for that in your motorhome,” says Scott. “Gaston and Sven love to sprawl out on the floor wherever we are, whether that’s at home or in the motorhome. Because of that, we made sure we found a motorhome with a king bed, expandable sectional couch, and opposing slide outs. We didn’t want to feel like we were constantly walking through an obstacle course when we were travelling with them.”
