Traveling Dog Tips: Never Take A Vacation From #DogDentalHealth Routines

#DogDentalHealth for Traveling Dogs: Pack dog dental chews and never travel without a dog toothbrush
Super smart corgi Brychwyn looks concerned about what has been packed for the trip.
Typist: Bethany
Traveling with the pets frequently means that I have stopped making packing lists. Gathering up everything I need for a trip is has become routine. I rarely miscount or measure what we need of certain items or forget anything. Rarely. Sometimes when I run out of a pet item while traveling, we live without it. Certain items are so important that if I forget to pack it or we run out, we include a surprise pet friendly excursion to purchase what we need. On a recent road trip, I didn't pack enough Brychwyn sized dental treats.
Brychwyn would never tolerate missing out on his once daily dental chew time especially if Wilhelm and Huxley still have theirs. It is particularly important to me that we keep up our dog dental health routine while on the road. Fortunately, a side road trip to PetSmart® was convenient, simple and fun.

I was in an unfamiliar store and was pleased to find the dental chews section on the very first aisle. I'm not sure if the front dental chew placement is because of Dental Health Month or is due to PetSmart caring so much about pet dental health. Whatever the reason, it made things wonderfully easy for me, Wilhelm, Huxley and, of course, Brychwyn, to grab a bag of BLUE Bones® Regular Chew Dog Bone dental chews for dogs 25-50lbs. and get back on the road. I am always in search of quality, fully digestible dental chews with all natural ingredients. BLUE Bones also has no poultry by-product meals and are corn, wheat and soy free. When we arrived at our evening destination, all of the dogs had their once daily dental chew time. Brychwyn was very excited for his BLUE Bones Regular Chew Dog Bone. He halved the chew in the blink of an eye. I was worried that this dental chew would end up being eaten too quickly to clean my corgis teeth! The unchewed half lay in the grass and Brychwyn worked the half in his mouth as if chewing a piece of gum. My concern that the dental chew was being eaten too quickly was gone. I knew the BLUE Bones chew wads doing it's promised teeth cleaning and breath freshening job. Brychwyn rapidly chewed off another quarter of the chew and gnawed it before finishing the entire treat. The entire chewing process went by very quickly but I can see how when given once daily as directed, the BLUE Bones chew can do a lot to improve Brychwyn's dental health. In fact, Brychwyn's breath was better right away and nothing brings a person regularly closer to their dogs mouth than a cozy road trip.

The dogs and I want to be happily traveling together for as long as possible so the dogs need to stay fit and healthy. Dental health is a huge part of the long term health of dogs and cats. Over 70 percent of cats and 80 percent of dogs reveal signs of dental disease by three years of age. No matter what pet friendly destinations we roam to, we never take a vacation from our dog and cat dental health routine. Even if I pack badly (sorry Brychwyn!) or we decide to stay on the road a little longer, there is no excuse for not taking the time to make sure the pets teeth and bill of health stay clean.

I need to get some of those chewies for my dogs. It is so hard to brush their teeth and I don't do it often enough.

Dental health is one of things you got to take seriously and we do. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Thankfully, my sisters and I all eat the same sized treats and now the same food. It was rough last year when all three of us had a different food and different treats. Now we are all on the same program so it is much easier. Glad you found the dental treats. We are trying these ones out soon too.

Well, I am so glad you had a PetSmart nearby on your road trip. It wouldn't have been fair if Brychwyn didn't get to have a dental treat too!

Harley enjoys one GREENIES dental chew each evening. I wouldn't dare think of leaving home without packing them. That would definitely not work well. LOL

I love the picture in the car. I bought Chester and Gretel Doggles for paddleboarding this summer but doggy daddy said "no, you are not making them wear those". I tried to make a case from protecting their eyes from the sun but he only dug his heels in. I guess he won't be going paddleboarding with us this summer then :)
