This past month our family celebrated someone special’s very first birthday. Our golden retriever Oscar has become such an important part of our family during the first year of his life and we just love him to pieces. To make his birthday extra special, we planned a little day trip to celebrate! You can Plan the Perfect Day Trip for Your Dog this summer too!
For starters, dogs are very easy to please. I read somewhere recently that for people, dogs are a big part of our lives, but for dogs we are their whole lives, and it’s true!
Our dog is so happy just being with us. No matter what we are doing, scratching his belly, running around in the backyard or laying on the floor together, he’s perfectly content.
Getting on the road and traveling with your pooch is really no different. Whether your taking a quick day trip or traveling for a week, if you incorporate your dog’s favorite activities, everything will run smoothly!
After a tasty breakfast we were almost ready to hit the road and head out to our other country property for some outdoor family fun & play.
Since we were going to be close all day, especially while he is smiley and panting in the car, I decided to get out the DENTASTIX™ Treats!
I always have PEDIGREE® DENTASTIX™ Treats on hand because they help clean Oscar’s teeth, freshen his breath and reduce tartar buildup, while being a tasty snack that he loves!
With a clean mouth and fresh breath our family will be able to get “road trip close” with our favorite four legged friend! Sharing endless hugs and kisses is so nice without nasty dog breath getting in the way!
Oscar loves hopping into the car because he knows that means he’s going to have some fun! He always sits very patiently for everyone to get seated and buckled in before I start the car which I really appreciate. What a good boy!
Once we arrived, there was of plenty of room for him to run around and do a little exploring! There’s also a few trails around our pond that are great for a walk. We all had so much fun that we will definitely be heading back soon for another trip before the summer is over!
A Doggie Day Trip doesn’t have to be fancy to be fun. Go for a nice ride and then head to a few local pet friendly areas, such as trails, parks or even a beach! Find even more unique and fun Day Trip Ideas & Things to Do with your dog at TripswithPets.com! Just don’t forget your DENTASTIX™ Treats!

Oscar is adorable! We have a golden retriever as well and she also loves those Dentastix! Whenever we can’t get her inside all we have to do is yell, “Dentastix!” and she comes running.

Hi Shelley! Thank you. Goldens are just the best aren’t they? That is so funny that she comes running for DENTASTIX! 🙂 Have a wonderful week!
