5 Tips to Keep Your Pooch Happy While on the Road

1. You should bring your own water from home.  Dogs have sensitive stomachs and water from unfamiliar places can easily cause an upset tummy for your pup.
2. Plan ahead for any medication your pooch might need while you’re traveling.  If you are able to pack extras, do so.
3. It’s always smart to bring a blanket that smells like home– people aren’t the only ones who get homesick!
4. Get your dog used to being on the road by taking him on a few short drives in the days approaching the big trip.
5. Make sure he’s micro-chipped.  Hit the road with the peace of mind that if the worst does happen, you won’t be caught unprepared. 

You already know this, but we must remind you: NEVER leave your dog in your car unattended.  This is especially important during the sizzling months of summer.

How to Get a Successful Driver’s License Photo:

Once you are old enough to get your driver’s license photo taken, the preparation is essential. Take a look at these tips to take the best photo ever!


Do not wear white, it tends to make people look sickly under the lighting at the DMV.

Avoid wearing t- shirts with slogans, plain shirts with soft colors such as blue, green, and pink tend to be the best.

If you are getting your photo taken during allergy season or if you have a cold, use eye drops and make sure your eyes wide open.

Keep your hair neat and normal, today is not the day to try out a fancy hair do or new hair color.

Ladies, know how to wear your makeup. Too much eye shadow tends to make your eyes disappear and too little makes you look like a zombie. Practice makes perfect!

Like we said before, practice makes perfect! It may seem silly to practice smiling in the mirror but it can only benefit you in the end.

Be on time for your appointment and stay patient. DMV’s are notoriously slow, but the wait will be worth a great picture!
