Moving or Traveling with Dogs

Our friend Medina at Pet Etiquette sent over an article about moving when you have a dog. We thought it might be helpful info for those traveling during the holiday or escaping smoky Santa Barbara too.

Leash Up…It’s Time to Move

Your moving day checklist might be a mile long, but is your pooch on the list? Making the move with your furry family member requires planning and preparation too, but it is easy to overlook it when your mind is focused on the growing stack of moving boxes. This infographic will make sure your dog is moving-day ready and the following suggestions for furry fun will ensure that your post-move adventures are one for the scrapbook.

Dog parks will always be at the top of the list when it comes to dog-friendly fun, so why not check out Douglas Family Preserve or Elings Park for some fun, exercise, and socialization. After all that running around, the two of you can refuel at the The Brewhouse (they have a separate menu for dogs!) or enjoy a cold, sweet treat from Yogurt Land.
