The travel file for your dog
- Vaccination proof -- a phone photo is accepted almost everywhere.
- Daily meds plus a two-day buffer.
- Your home vet's number, for when the local clinic asks for history.
- The local animal poison-control number, saved before you need it.
Coat care on the road
New places show in the coat first. Brush every couple of days to stop mats forming -- and to spot ticks after grassy walks. Clicking nails on hard floors means a trim is overdue; most groomers and many pet stores do walk-ins. Check ears after swimming; trapped moisture breeds infections fast.
