Depending on what kind of trip you’re planning with your four-legged friend, there can be many hidden dangers that your dog may run into:

Poisoning – Being bitten by a snake or another venomous animal, or ingesting dangerous plants or products.

Attacked by a wild animal or another dog – Unless the other animal is checked or caught, your dog can be exposed to many diseases, such as rabies, as well as suffer an infection from injuries.

Tick bites – Exploring new wooded areas can expose your pooch to dangerous ticks that can spread disease and sickness.

Electrocution – Not only can loose wiring spell trouble for your four-legged friend, but recent articles warn that your dog could get electrocuted just by urinating or standing in water near a power pole.

Seizures – An allergic reaction to something in the new environoment or ingesting something foreign can trigger a seizure.

Car Accident – If your dog isn’t feeling well, he may try to run away or jump out of the car. So if you are involved in a car accident or your dog is struck by a car, you need to ensure that your pet has the proper harness to keep him safe. You can also purchase a special seatbelt or a crate for your pooch.

Basic preparations before leaving include researching your destination, packing your dog’s medications, a first aid kit, his health certificate, and his medical file.
