Traveling with Dogs: What to Pack to Keep Them Healthy

Traveling with Dogs

Whether you're planning a weekend road trip or jetting off for a vacation, bringing your dog along makes every adventure more fun. But to keep your furry friend safe, healthy, and stress-free on the go, it’s essential to pack smart.

At MedsMeHappy, we know that healthy travel starts with proactive care—so we’ve put together the ultimate travel checklist for dogs to help you pack with confidence.

Let’s dive in!

Must-Have Essentials for Traveling with Dogs

1. Daily Supplements (Yes, Even on Vacation!)

Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean your dog should skip their daily health routine. Keeping your pup’s gut and liver supported is especially important when they’re exposed to new environments, foods, and stress.

Here are two essentials we recommend bringing:

SilymarinAdvanced – Supports liver detox, cognitive health, and mood with SAM-e + Silybin (Milk Thistle). Perfect for senior dogs or pups with sensitive systems.
Fibersyl Ovatasyl Fiber Capsules – Natural fiber to support digestion, regularity, and reduce stress-related tummy issues like constipation or loose stools.

Travel tip: Pre-portion supplements into a weekly pill organizer or reusable pouch to save space and stay consistent!

2. Portable Food & Water Supplies

Collapsible water bowls
Plenty of clean, filtered water
Your dog’s regular food (never switch food while traveling)
Treats for rewards and distractions

Bonus tip: Traveling can mess with your dog’s appetite or digestion—so sticking to a consistent feeding schedule and daily fiber helps keep things moving naturally.

3. Health & Safety Essentials

Proof of rabies vaccine & vet contact info
Flea/tick preventatives
Waste bags
First-aid kit (including pet-safe wound wash and tweezers)
MedsMeHappy supplements for gut and liver support

Unexpected changes in food, water, or stress levels can lead to constipation or stomach upset. That’s why fiber and liver support are two of the best travel tools you can pack.

4. Comfort Items from Home

Dogs feel safest when they have familiar smells and routines.

Pack:

Their favorite blanket or bed
A toy or two
Crate (if they’re crate trained)
Leash, harness, and ID tags with up-to-date info

5. Travel Documents & Emergency Info

If you're traveling across state lines or internationally, you may need:

Health certificates
Vaccine records
Emergency vet contacts along your route

If your dog is on any medications or has known health conditions, be sure to carry a list of what they’re taking—and why.

Why Gut & Liver Health Matter When You Travel

Travel = change. Whether it's a new climate, schedule, or diet, travel can stress your dog’s body—and their digestive and liver systems often take the biggest hit.

Gut health: Stress can lead to constipation, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. Ovatasyl provides gentle, natural fiber that supports smooth digestion.
Liver health: The liver filters toxins and processes new foods, medications, or stress hormones. SilymarinAdvanced helps keep it functioning at its best—even while on the go.

Adding these to your packing list is a simple way to make sure your dog stays healthy and comfortable, no matter where you go.
