Essentials to pack for a stress-free summer vacation with your dog

Are you thinking of going on a trip this summer? If you’re planning a summer getaway you may be thinking about bringing the dog along. We’ve got a checklist of essentials to take with you for a summer vacation with your dog.   

If you’re travelling with dogs, there is a strong chance that at some point you are going to be in a car.  Insuring your car is suitably equipped is essential to keep everyone comfortable and to make sure you don’t have an unrestrained dog in your car that could cause driving distractions.  The simple way to do this and be able to transport your luggage safely too is to add a Travall Guard, Divider and TailGate.  Your pup has a secure position on the journey and is kept away from heavy luggage that might ordinarily slide into your dog’s space in transit.
