MiM asked:
Me and a friend are going on a 4 hour long car trip to a bulldog meet in LA with my bulldog (obviously). What are some good things to pack for the trip in the car, on the stops we make along the way, and when we finally get there? Any good ideas? Thanks!

Lots of water! Bring ice cubes even though they will melt you will still have water. I would also look into either a cooling vest, blanket or bandanna as they tend to overheat especially when excited. From my experience I would get the vest as non of my dogs will lay on the cooling blanket. I have also seen bully people bring along big disposable cooking trays they use as Minny pools. I also have a waist clipping leash so I can be hands free at events Im attending with my pups and I think a puppy playpen is a great idea if your not sure how your pet will act at an event and if he/or she may need an area to hang out in. If you dont know where to find these things try ebay. Have a GREAT time! Im jealous!

at petsmart they portable water dishes. its a bag full of water that opens into a dog bowl. pack some food, a blanket or pillow they can lay on, plenty of toys maybe a bone or two. make sure if your dog is riding free in the car, that there is safety and no way they can distract the driver and cause trouble. if your dog is little, there is a syrupy product you can buy at the vet or pet stores that helps keep their sugar levels up. make sure you mark off good points for everyone to stretch and for your dog to use the restroom. most rest areas along a highway are good places. i traveled with my 8 week old puppy and we did this and had success!
