Twiggy doesn't have to come. We had flights booked and decided to cancel though because she's adjusted so well. Checked the state rules after you mentioned it and we won't need to self-quarantine on arrival. Thanks for prompting me to check on that. LOTS of helpful notes. Really, really appreciate the thoughtfulness that everyone puts in to the replies. 

"- prepare a basic Lost Greyhound flyer that you can have printed at any Staples store. Greyhound outline rather than a photo + cell phone number.

- read the information on the Greyhound Amber Alert subforum in the Everything Else Greyhound section"

We started taking her places straight away and she's always done super. Texas heat is no joke though. We have temps over 100 this whole week. Pro-tips noted for packing extra sheet, shower curtain, fans, and water. Thank you!

Greetings! First time posting, new greyhound Mum to a 5yr brindle female, Twiggy. 

We are planning a road trip from Austin, TX to Minneapolis, MN. It's about a 16hr drive and we're hoping to do it in two days. We've never done this with a dog though and we've had Twiggy for 6 weeks. We've done lots of car rides but only up to an hour at a time. I have a few long drives planned before we get to our travel date. She's always done really well but I'm starting to get cold feet. Is this too much too soon? 

Travel specific questions:

1. Have you done a road trip this long with a grey before?

2. Is it advisable to get an interstate travel certificate? (saw this advertised on a vet website)

3. Any safety/comfort tips for keeping her cozy?

Appreciate any and all opinions, comments, concerns, advice.
