add a space blanket. they fold up small so are easy to keep in a first aid container. if you break down and have to wait any length of time for help, it will keep you and the dogs cool when it's hot out and warm when it's cold. also, a nice strong flashlight can come in very handy. diane Diane Silver-Strasser Silstra German Shepherds _Skatiebug'z_ (http://skatiebugz.shutterfly.com/) The online store for everything German Shepherd and then some! _http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com_ (http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com/) Skater's Blog In a message dated 3/11/2010 9:04:08 P.M.

We want to think of every possibility, so please share if you think of something else. For the dogs traveling with us (in a binder) -a recent picture of the dog, its full body and a head shot -microchip or tattoo information -dog full name AND call name, and if different, the name its registered with the microchip company -person to contact during travel -itinerary......you'll be amazed how far a dog can wonder -vet name and phone number -copy of current vaccination record -a point of contact: a person authorized to make decisions on this dog if you are not able to -in a first aid kit, in addition to first aid basics, any medication the dog may be taking we got a shipping sticker from UPS and its very cool because you can print and update information for each trip and the sticker doesn't come off....you have to rip it off to remove it. We put ours on top of the kennel. Example for sticker: Hi, my name is XYZ, my owners name is ABC and they can be reached at this number 123-456-7890. I will bark while in my kennel, but I am friendly once I am out of my kennel. I have basic obedience training, and love cookies. My owners will pay for any boarding/medical expenses, please contact DFG for more information @ 098-765-4321 Anything else?
