Drive IN Movie NightBring your dog to the drive in! We all love going to the movies, it's one of the best ways to escape the worries of the world and it's just fun! People have been going to the drive in since the thirty's, that's nearly ninety years! So why not include your best furry friend in the tradition, or start a new one with them. Bandit has only been to the drive in once before. It was last year and we saw The Secret Life of Pets with one of my friends and her chocolate lab. They had a great time but Bandit spent most of it over excited and hot. I think it was all a bit to exciting for him, as most firsts are for dogs. This year I'm working on being more comfortable with doing things alone and going to the drive in was on my list. So Bandit and I set out on another adventure. Just the two of us. Some people think that an adventure is always something fun and exciting but sometimes it's also doing something that scares you or makes you uncomfortable. The drive in being that for me. Remembering last year, I double checked the weather to make sure it wouldn't be to hot for him and planned out everything we would need. He had a great time! He did sleep a lot, but he also watched parts of the movies. We went for a walk before the movies started , in between movies and before heading home. We only live about a five minute drive away but Bandit always seems to have to go number two the moment we start driving. Cars rides: they put babies to sleep and they also help pugs poop. Facts of life. Here is a helpful list of Bandit's drive in essentials to help give you some ideas on what your best friend might need! Bandit's Drive In Essentials. 1. Treats + Chew If your dog is anything like Bandit, he'll surely give you sad eyes while you eat your own snacks. So bring something for them to enjoy or something you can share! Bandit loves anything really, mostly beef. 2. Dog Bed Remember you'll be sitting there for a while and if you're getting sore then so is your dog. Keep it comfy. Bandit's bed is a discontinued Martha Stewart Pets brand. 3. Toy If your dog is a toy driven dog, then consider bringing them something to keep them occupied. 4. Cooling pad! This is an absolute essential for anything we do in the warmer months. It was a little pricey but it helps keep Bandit cool in situations where he may otherwise have overheated. It's a life saver! 5. Water + Travel bowl A given. It's a good idea to keep a travel bowl in your vehicle if you travel a lot with your dog. 6. Leash + Collar Most places require this, but if you have a smaller dog you may not always bring it. Keep in mind you may encounter other dogs at the drive in and not all are as comfortable with making friends as others, so make sure you have control of your guy at all times. 7. Towel Again, our local drive in is in a field and sometimes it can be very muddy or damp. A towel can be used to wipe any dirty paws off to help keep your interior clean. It's a good thing to keep in your vehicle at all times anyway. 8. Baby Benadryl Bandit has allergies, and for him, this is an essential. Like people, sometimes sitting in a field can aggravate common allergies for dogs. Unfortunately, allergies are something new to Bandit in the past couple years. Old age man. **Remember to check with your Veterinarian before giving any medications to your dog. Get proper diagnosis' and dosage instructions. Don't ask your pharmacist! Ask your veterinarian!** 9. Kleenex! For the sneezes So many sneezes and boogers. I like to make sure I always have Kleenex when we're out. I don't want him to be stuck with crusty little boogies on his face and I also don't want them all over me and my SUV! We hope these were helpful!
