Traveling with Your Dog? Don’t Forget Gut & Joint Support

Long drives, new places, unfamiliar food smells, and random meal times—traveling with your dog can be exciting, but also stressful—for both you and your pup.

Most pet parents don’t realize this, but dog travel stress can show up in their digestion, joints, and even their skin.

But here’s the thing most pet parents don’t realize: travel can mess with your dog’s digestion, joints, and skin more than you think.

Let’s break it down:


🚗 Dog Digestive Issues During Travel

Just like humans, dogs experience travel-related gut stress:

  • Loose poop or constipation
  • Gas, bloating, or disinterest in food
  • Scooting or grass-eating out of nowhere

Why it happens:
Changes in schedule, water, food, or even excitement can disrupt gut flora.

Fix it fast:
Add Paw+ Belly Boost to their food before and during the trip. The prebiotics and probiotics help stabilize digestion and avoid messy surprises in the car or hotel room.

Pro tip: Pack it in a small container with a scoop. You’ll thank yourself later.


🐾  Joint Pain in Dogs While Traveling

Whether it’s hopping in and out of the car or walking on uneven trails, travel can strain your dog’s joints, especially for senior pups or large breeds.

Watch out for:

  • Hesitation to jump
  • Limping after activity
  • Stiffness after long naps

Support them daily:
A scoop of Paw+ Happy Hips with breakfast helps reduce inflammation and support mobility—so they enjoy the adventure as much as you do.

Bonus: It helps prevent the post-trip “crash” where your dog seems sore for days.


🌟 Keep Their Routine Familiar

Dogs thrive on routine—even when the location changes. Try to:

  • Feed at usual times
  • Carry their regular food and bowl
  • Include their supplements in meals like at home

Adding Glow Up for skin health? Great. Travel often increases scratching due to weather, grass allergies, or different water. Keeping their skin barrier supported = smoother trip.
