Why not just pack a bag and go away with your bulldog. One might ask is there any difference in traveling with another breed type. The answer is YES YES YES.
First and foremost, when hotels hear you are bringing a bulldog they first squint their noses and then say we don't allow big dogs. Hello, it's me down here, a little guy.
Second, we cannot travel in little cute carriers like other breeds, unless we are in the wee puppy stages.
Thirdly, temperature really matters to us, because we have push faces and our breathing isn't so great.
So to travel with the bulldog it takes some planning. Do we drive, do we fly, do we stay home or do we go and leave the dog home. Most would probably go with option go and leave the dog home, we are not the normal. As clearly demonstrated in our previous posts.
We call ahead, find a local vet that is in the area so we can avoid middle of the night panic calls to our vet 1000 miles away. Next we pack a comfort pack with; treats, toys, bones, nom noms, wipes, water bottles and a small first aid kit. Then we pack his travel bag that consists of food, clothes (yes I wear clothes don't judge me) towels, extra water bowls, a small wind up clock, harness, collars, leads, socks and alcohol for Mommy. Now the hardware so to speak, stroller, crates, bedding, night-lights and story books. This is a great process.
Now lets fly... OMD you cannot take 95% of what I have listed above.
The list of what it takes to make this bulldog travel wears me out. We traveled, we came home and I want to go to bed for 100 hours.
