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.
