Three Tips for Traveling With Your Dog in Your Lexus

Since you live in Utah, road tripping with your furry best friend is a must-do. The outdoors is a dog’s paradise, and it makes your road trip all the more fun, too. Traveling with your pet requires some extra planning but is totally worth it to have your buddy along for the ride. Before you load up your Lexus and head out, check out these five tips to ensure you both have a safe and fun trip.

Plan for breaks

While you may already know where you’re going, make sure your schedule allows for regular breaks. Your pet may need a few breaks to do some stretching and take care of their business. Breaks will also relieve any anxiety and allow them to walk around and experience the different environments. If time permits, research some dog parks along your route and plan for those visits.

Cover your seats

Regardless if your pet sheds a ton of hair or not, cover your seats with a seat cover or blankets/towels. Your Lexus will definitely thank you for that. You’ll want to make sure your vehicle’s interior is best protected from hair, dirt, and any messes made from your pets. Your luxury vehicle is a big investment, so keeping it in good shape is important.

Pack a dog bag

When vacationing, your dog will need their own bag too. Separating their items from yours will make it so much easier for you when you need to access something. Make a list of items they might need. To get you started, don’t forget food, bowls, toys, medication, towels, poop bags, treats, and plenty of water. You know your dog the best, so pack according to their needs.  

Now that you’ve taken the time to prepare, your trip should be stress-free! As you should do before any long road trip, make a quick trip to our dealership to inspect your vehicle. After that, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride in the comfort of your Lexus.
