Video Transcript

Hi! This is Elise McMahon with Expert Village and we’re talking today about how to travel with your dog. If you would like to find out more about my services you can visit my web site canineheadstart.com. So we’re talking right now about what do you do if you’re traveling with your dog and it gets sick. There’s tons of different things that can happen, same things it can happen in home when you’re traveling, so you want to be prepared, first thing I would suggest is before you set off, if you know the area you can go to go online and find the emergency clinics that are going to be in those areas that you’ll be, locate them, get their phone numbers, download maps to their place, put that in a folder, the material you’re going to take with you, you also want to have your dog’s health information with you, if they have got any kind of a health issue, you want to have information on that with you, so you could hand that right over to an emergency vet if you need to and you’ll also want to have your home vet phone number, fax number on you so that again you can give that over to an emergency vet if you need to, you’re going to be carrying with you some basic first aid stuff so if it’s something minor, you can take care of it that way, but if it’s something more serious a broken limb or bloat, something that is life threatening for the dog, you want to be able to get the dog as quick as you can to an emergency clinic, it takes about 5-10 minutes to do this before you head off on your trip and if you get into a bad situation with your dog, you’ll be very glad that you actually did that.
