The Essentials to Pack When Going on Holiday with Your Dog

Going on holiday with your dog can be an exciting adventure, but it also requires careful planning to ensure both you and your furry friend have a stress-free experience. From packing the right supplies to choosing the best food options, preparation is key.

In this blog, we'll explore the essentials to pack when going on holiday with your dog, with a special focus on the convenience of feeding AATU kibble.

1. Food and Water: The Basics

When you're on the road or staying in a new place, maintaining your dog's diet is crucial to avoid any digestive upsets. AATU Salmon dry dog food is a perfect choice for traveling because it combines top quality nutrition with convenience.

• High Meat Content: AATU Salmon dry dog food contains an impressive 80% salmon, ensuring your dog gets a protein-rich meal that supports muscle health and overall vitality. The other 20% includes our Superfood blend of 8 fruits, 8 vegetables, 8 herbs, and 8 botanicals & spices, offering a well-rounded diet.

• Lower Cost to Feed: AATU's nutrient-dense kibble means you feed your dog less per meal compared to raw diets, making it a more cost-effective option. This is especially important when traveling, as it reduces the amount of food you need to pack.

• Convenient Storage: Unlike raw dog food that requires refrigeration, AATU Salmon dry dog food is shelf-stable and can be stored in your cupboard until ready to use. This makes it ideal for travel, as it doesn't require any special storage conditions.

2. Travel Bowls

Portable, collapsible bowls are a must for feeding your dog and providing water throughout your trip. Choose lightweight, easy-to-clean options that won't take up much space in your luggage. With AATU kibble, you can simply pour the desired amount into the bowl without the need for additional preparation.

3. Leash, Harness, and Collar

A sturdy leash, harness, and collar are essential for keeping your dog safe during your travels. Make sure they are comfortable and fit well. It's also wise to bring along a spare set in case one gets lost or damaged. Attach a travel tag to your dog's collar with your contact details and your holiday address, just in case they wander off.

4. Comfort Items

Dogs can sometimes feel anxious in new environments, so packing a few of their favourite comfort items is a good idea. This could include a familiar blanket, their favourite toy, or even their bed. The familiar scents will help your dog feel more secure and relaxed, making the transition to a new place smoother.

5. Grooming Supplies

Traveling can expose your dog to different environments, potentially leading to dirty fur or tangles. Pack a small grooming kit with essentials like a brush, nail clippers, and dog-friendly wipes. Keeping your dog clean and well-groomed will ensure they're comfortable and happy throughout your trip.

6. Health Essentials

Don’t forget to pack any medications your dog may need, as well as a basic first-aid kit. This should include items like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and tweezers for removing ticks or splinters. Also, bring along your vet’s contact information and any relevant health records, especially if you’re traveling internationally.

7. Waste Bags

Always be prepared to clean up after your dog. Pack plenty of waste bags to ensure you can dispose of any waste properly, keeping the environment clean and maintaining good etiquette in public spaces.
