Road Trip Tips for Traveling with Pets

 

Border Collie

Sis the border collie is ready for her road trip!

Our dog Sis, a border collie, goes everywhere with us. Whether we’re taking a road trip that is a few hours long, or a few days long, I always end up planning ahead and making sure Sis’s backpack is filled up with everything she needs:

- Water – check!
- Kibble – check!
- Ball & frisbee – check!
- Potty pick-up bags – check!
- Towel (for drying off after running in the ocean) – check!
- And snacks, of course! Her favorite is Tillamook Medium Cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese.

To make sure that the cheese stays in top condition while traveling, we use an ice pack and a little baggy of the delicious nuggets. It keeps Sis happy and energized on a road trip, which also means that we have more fun. I have to monitor how much cheese she eats at one time so we don’t run out the first hour on the road! Sis is a smart girl and will sneak her nose into the backpack and help herself if the pack is not securely closed! So watch your furry friends and don’t let them have too much at once!

Tillamook Cheese Dog Treats Recipe

We all know that our furry friends like Tillamook Cheese, but did you know that you can make a cheesy treat for them? Here’s a quick and easy recipe that your favorite dog will be sure to love!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • ¾ cup Tillamook Cheese, shredded (I used Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons water or broth (if dough is dry, add a bit more)

Preparation:

This part is really easy! Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Mix all the ingredients together until they form a nice, solid dough. If it’s not holding together, add a bit more water or broth and press together. Separate the dough into two balls and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. (While that step is not necessary if you are in a hurry, it will help make the dough easier to handle and roll out later.) On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about a ⅛-inch thickness. Then, get your favorite cookie cutter (that’s the size you want the treats to be) and cut out the treats. Bake them in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. All done!
