I brought my dog on an international trip to Brazil for five months. There wasn’t a ton we could do to fully prep him, but we made him as comfortable as possible and he’s settled in like a pro – at 10 years old too! (we adopted him at 9 and swear he’s younger than they say, so much energy and spunk). Enjoy your canine adventures!

That is my number one piece of advice for anyone who ever asks me how to get out and about with their pets and, sadly, that usually ends the question asking. But things happen. If I was sick, I’d go home. If Jason was sick, we’d both go home. So if the pets are done, we are done. Now all that being said, I REALLY hope that Honey doesn’t decide she is all done with living on a sailboat right after you move in! 🙂

I will often recommend bringing your dog to the vets office just for treats. No medical care, just a pleasant visit.

I bet you’ll have lots of adventures to tell us about! Also, great tips!

Doing an activity that Haley likes seems to work really well for her. Maybe it makes her feel like things are “normal” or maybe it’s just the distraction from whatever new thing she’s feeling uneasy about.

They won’t take treats before the appt. so no positive associations there. They even know the car ride that ends up at the vet, so they fight getting out of the car! I guess I need to take a different way there to fool them.

Other than the vet, my dogs need no prep for adventure. They just go with the flow, but they truly prefer that the adventure includes water, and of course food!

I think once you watch her adapt and adjust quickly, you’ll exhale and start to live your dream! So proud of you Pamela.
