Vacation tomorrow-anything else I should bring for Apollo?

Posted : 7/10/2008 8:54:49 AM

So, we're leaving for upstate NY tomorrow (5:00am). We're bringing Apollo with us, it'll be his first time to NY. My future MIL didn't want him to come and stay in her house, so we opted for a hotel, but his Grandma (God bless her) is a dog lover and she wouldn't let us stay in a hotel, so we're staying with her (I love her so I'm happy with that). So far I packed for him:

Bed
Toys
Leash (6ft, 50ft, 12in traffic lead)
Bowls
Food
Treats
Our vet Info and vaccine records, plus info on the nearest vet
Dog asprin, wraps, ointment for cuts, and his "lampshade" thingy
Towels/Blanket

Is there anything I'm forgetting? Anything else I should bring?

Sounds like you have everything covered. What about a crate?

Pick up bags

Enzymatic cleaner (for any accidents in the car or at the place you're staying)

(Crate if you used one - many dogs get more nervous and thus destructive in new settings)

Shampoo, grooming tools

When we went to Maine I took along some Immodium and also some Pepsid for her in case.

Apollo says he needs a new outfit so he can look snazzy for all the new people he'll be meeting. New leash, collar, maybe a matching bandana? LOL!

Have fun and take lots of pics!

I usually bring some water from home or bottled just in case. Minimizes blow out poops due to strangeness in the local supply LOL.

Good idea!
I have some Nature's Miracle I will be bringing too, and of course poopy bags!
Apollo's never been in a crate, so we even don't have one...he'll be staying with me 24/7 though (believe me he won't be out of my sight!).

Thanks guys! See you Monday!
