Travelling with Your Dog: Organic Snacks & Supplements On the Go
Travelling with your dog during Australia’s Christmas and summer holiday season can be one of the best moments of the year. Road trips, beach mornings, long drives to see family, everything feels better when your dog joins the adventure. But the heat, busy crowds, and constant movement can make dogs feel unsettled. With good planning, organic snacks, and the right travel supplements, you can make the journey smoother, safer, and much more enjoyable for your furry companion.
Food is one of the first things that can go wrong when routines change. Dogs are sensitive to sudden changes in diet, especially when they’re already adjusting to new places. Bringing their usual meals and choosing gentle, organic treats helps prevent stomach upset during the trip.
Treats like Australian Pet Organics Supaw™ Powered Treats are easy to pack and kind on digestion. They’re perfect for rewarding calm behaviour, encouraging breaks during long drives, or giving your dog something familiar in a new environment.
Support Calm Behaviour with Natural Travel Supplements
The Christmas period is full of excitement, crowds, noise, unfamiliar houses, and long car rides. Many dogs feel anxious with all this movement. Adding simple supplements can help your dog stay relaxed and balanced.
• Our Calm Support Supplement is a great option to feed your dog as part of their meal prior to a road trip – to help calm their nerves and put them at ease during travel.
• Daily Probiotics help maintain healthy digestion when routines shift. Try our Digestive Health Supplement which contains both pre and probiotics to assist here.
• Multivitamin Chews such as our Daily Wellbeing Vitamins Chews support overall wellness when meals vary.
These natural supports help your dog feel grounded, even when the world around them is different.
Hydration Matters in the Australian Summer
Australian holiday travel usually means hot weather. Dogs dehydrate quickly, so hydration must be consistent. Always pack filtered water and a collapsible bowl and offer small drinks often. If you’re stopping at beaches or parks, rinse your dog after swimming, salt water and heat can make them thirsty faster.
Inside the car, avoid direct sun and keep airflow steady. Cooling mats or lightweight vests help dogs who struggle with the heat, especially during midday driving.
Mantain a Simple Routine to Reduce Stress
Even during the holiday rush, keeping a basic routine gives your dog stability. Stick to regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, and short walks whenever possible. For long drives, plan breaks so your dog can stretch, sniff around, and release energy. This helps maintain a calm mood and prevents stiffness, especially for older dogs.
Make New Places Feel Familiar
Small comfort items can make a huge difference. Bring your dog’s favourite blanket, toy, or their usual bed to help them settle quickly in hotels, holiday rentals, or family homes. Familiar scents create a sense of safety and calm.
With the right preparation, travelling during the Christmas holidays doesn’t have to be stressful. Keeping meals familiar, supporting calm behaviour with natural supplements, staying hydrated, and bringing comfort items help your dog stay happy and healthy on the road.
The goal is simple: enjoy the holiday season together, without a worry.
