Traveling With Your Golden Retriever
3
Golden Retrievers love to be included in family
activities, which includes take rides in the car
and traveling. They love attention, and love for
you to treat them just like they are a member of
your family. When you first get your Golden
Retriever puppy, youll have to teach him how to
enjoy car rides and traveling, so he can come to
appreciate it more as he gets older.

When you decide to take him traveling for the
first time, you should always give him food in
small amounts throughout the day, while he
adjusts to traveling. If you feed him a lot of
food before you head out, he may get sick in the
car and have an accident. By reducing the amount
of food that he consumes, hell be much more in
control of his bladder and himself.
5
When you are traveling, always plan to make
frequent rest stops and allow your Golden
Retriever time to relieve himself. You should
also take some time to exercise as well, stopping
every few hours for bathroom breaks and exercise.
Golden Retrievers will hold themselves if they
need to, although it isnt good for them. No
matter how far you travel, you should always be
kind to your dog and stop every so often to let
him have some time.

A common mistake that many have made, and one you
should avoid at all costs, is letting your Golden
ride in a moving vehicle with his head out the
window. Although you may think this is a good
idea, your Golden can easily get an eye, ear, or
nose injury. Cars and trucks move at very fast
speeds, and something can pop up when you least
expect it and do serious damage to your dog.
7
When you stop for a break or to fill up your car,
you should never allow your Golden Retriever to
be alone in the car with the windows up. Even
though you may crack the windows for him, the
heat of summer can result in a heat stroke if you
arent careful. If your dog does get a heatstroke
from being locked up in a hot car, he can easily
die before you are able to return to the car. If
you simply must leave your dog in the car, make
sure that you park in the shade and give him
plenty of air.
8
As long as you do your part and take care of your
Golden Retriever when you travel, he will love to
travel with you. Traveling is something that your
Golden needs to get used to, although most adapt
to it fairly quick. Once you have taken your dog
traveling with you, he will know when its time
to travel and eventually learn to tell you when
you need to stop so he can use the bathroom.
