Poop Bags: Gross, but true. I always send him with scented poop bags so that the picker upper is less grossed out by the duty. Favorite Toys: I can’t take Rigby’s entire toy box, but I always am sure to pack him a variety of toys to keep him entertained. Favorite Treats & Chews: Just like his favorite toys, Rigby requires many treats and chews to keep him busy and out of trouble. I usually pack a brand new bag of treats and a few bully sticks.
Notebook with Emergency Numbers: I always include: – Vet name, address, and phone number – Closest Emergency Vet name, address, and phone number – If your pet has a microchip, be sure to include the 800 number associated with the company in case they go missing while you are gone. Long Line, Extra Collar, Extra Leash: If you have an escape artist or the potential of one, I highly recommend purchasing a long line. Hot Spot Relief or other first aid product: I always try to pack a first aid item in case of a minor scrape or spot. Food & Travel Bowl: If you’re not sure of the pet feeding situation at your pet’s destination, a packable travel bowl can come in handy. Medications or Supplements: We don’t have any of these, but if your dog is currently on medication or supplements be sure to pack those with instructions! Bed, Crate, or Blanket: If your dog has a safe bed, crate, or blanket that they always sleep with, be sure to pack this.
