Whilst it does take extra preparation, going on a road trip with your dog is not only achievable but a ton of fun. Family trips aren’t ever complete without the whole family—and that includes your dog (though perhaps not your cat. If you’re going away, find them a top-of-the-line cattery). Before hitting the road with your furry friend, there is some preparation you’ll need to do. Researching dog-friendly accommodation and venues (including eateries) can save a lot of headaches down the road—literally. Once you’ve completed your research and travel trained your dog (road anxiety is a real thing and dogs are not exempt from it), it will be time to hit the road.

As any adventurer will tell you, nothing gets the blood pumping like a spontaneous road trip—be it an overnighter or an extended trek across the country.

You’ll need to prepare for even the most last-minute of trips—though it needn’t be a time-consuming task. What you’ll need to bring will depend on a) the duration of your trip, b) the capacity of your RV, and c) your ultimate destination. Regardless of the above, though, all road trips will have the same base necessities. No matter where you’re going, here’s what to take on a road trip.

Australia’s surface area is just slightly shy of Europe’s combined landmass of 10,186,000 square kilometres. No wonder a European road trip is essentially an international tour!
