Your Canine's
Sense of Smell

A much larger part of a dog’s brain is devoted to processing smells than yours. Some search dogs locate people buried under the snow of avalanches, search for evidence in crime, and find people in the water. Cloudy days, mornings, and evenings are the best times for dogs to search. And depending on the conditions, dogs can pick up a scent up to a half a mile away!

Preparing Your Dog’s (Big) “Overnight” Bag

Especially if you’re going to be leaving your dog at the kennel the day you’re leaving town yourself, it will be helpful to have your dog’s bag packed in advance. It’s a terrible thing to miss a flight, and that’s just what might happen if you arrive at the kennel without the vet’s report or important medicines! Pack your dog’s bag days before you’ve packed yours, making sure to sanitize everything the kennel requires first. Choose a few of his favorite toys and chew-toys, and (if the kennels’ rules allow) bring something he can cuddle into in his crate. Label everything

with your dog’s name and your last name, and make a complete list of everything you’re taking to the kennel. Make two copies of the list: one for you and one for the kennel to check when packing up your belongings at the end of the stay.

The basic list is below: read it over and make any additions your dog may need.

Medicines
Dishes for food and water
Food and treats
Bedding
Comfort items – your shirt, a familiar sleeping blanket or towel
Toys
List of allergies, medical conditions, special likes and dislikes
Copy of vet reports.
