Taking Your Golden Retriever
With You on Away Trips

You may or may not want to combine these stops with your own, eventually we all need a break. Although it is not the ideal situation, your retriever will hold himself if necessary. Regardless of the distance of your trip, be considerate with your dog and plan ahead for any necessary stops.
We have all seen it in Hollywood movies, the family dog is sticking out his head and tongue out the window and we think it is alright to do that as well. As fun as this may look, a dog in this position is liable to get an eye, nose, or ear injury. Vehicles in the highway are travelling at great speeds, something could fly off, such as trash or a small bird, which could impact the head of the dog at great speed and cause serious injury.
Another common mistake made by pet owners is making a stop at the convenience store and leaving the dog locked in the car with the windows closed. Even if you open the windows just a bit to let the air in, the heat will start to rise in the interior and could be the cause for a stroke on your pet. The results of a heat stroke on your dog could be lethal in nature. If it’s absolutely imperative that you leave your dog behind, make sure you park under a shade and allow for plenty of air to breathe.
As long as you follow a few simple rules, there is no reason why you can’t take your retriever with you on away trips and enjoy each other’s company. Your dog will need a break in period in order to adapt, but you’ll be surprised at how fast they can do that. After a few trips, it will all be dog games for him. You will notice he can tell that a trip is at hand and greatly look forward to the adventure.
