Road Trips With a Dog That Takes Up Half the Backseat.
The 35-point checklist we use for every trip with our crew. It covers vet prep, vehicle setup, the hotel questions nobody tells you to ask, and what to pack so nobody ends up sleeping on a hard floor.
Where should we send it?
It lands in your inbox in about a minute.
Five things you’ll use.
Before you leave.
Vet check, refills, microchip info and the bloat signs to know before you’re 300 miles from your vet.
Gear check.
The seven things that live in the car once you’ve forgotten them once.
Vehicle prep.
Seatbelt restraint (always to the harness, never the collar), steps or a ramp, seat covers and the drool kit.
Stays and planning.
Why “pet friendly” often means “under 50 lb,” and how to find the places that mean it.
On the road.
Long leash, backup food, cooling gear and a dog first-aid kit.
From the Big Ass Family
“This is a back saver!! Enzo my 125 lb cane corso figured it out in seconds.”
“It fits perfectly on our console so it’s handy for those car ride drools!”
“As most of you know it’s hard to find a nice big size travel bowl for big headed dogs. Henry finally has one his size that works perfect”
Verified 5-star reviews of our gear.
We live on the road with three of them.
Most of the year our office has wheels. Between the RV, the truck and more hotel lobbies than we can count, this checklist is what keeps our crew comfortable and our trips on schedule.
Your next trip starts with the list.
