1. Preparing for a long-distance trip with your dog and managing stress
◆ Advance preparation
When traveling long distances with your dog, advance preparation is very important.
Here we will explain in detail what you need to bring when traveling, how to check your dog's health, and how to maintain a good environment in the car.
■ What you need to bring
We recommend that you prepare the following items when traveling long distances!
-
Water and food: Bring a water bottle or portable bowl for your dog so they can drink water regularly, and don't forget to bring their usual food too.
-
A comfortable travel bed or blanket: To create a relaxing environment for your dog, it's a good idea to have a soft, comfy bed or blanket in the car.
- Toys and chews: Bring your dog's favorite toys and chews to help reduce stress during long trips!
■ Improvement of the in-car environment
-
A safe carrier and seat belt: Make sure your dog is safe in the car with an appropriately sized carrier and seat belt harness.
This will help protect your dog in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
- Adjusting the temperature inside the car: Be careful not to let the temperature inside the car get too hot or too cold, and keep the temperature at a comfortable level for your dog. In particular, in the summer, the inside of a car can easily overheat, so regular ventilation and proper use of air conditioning are important.
◆ Take regular breaks and manage stress
Proper rest and stress management are very important when traveling long distances with your dog.
Taking regular breaks will help keep your dog in good shape and reduce stress.
Here we'll explain how to take effective breaks and minimize stress for your dog.
■ When and how to take breaks
-
Frequency of breaks: Generally, you should stop and take a break every 2-3 hours.
This prevents your dog from staying in one position for long periods of time and gives them a chance to stretch out.
- Resting in a safe place: When taking a break, choose a safe place with little traffic, ideally a rest area or a park where you can let your dog roam freely on a lead.
■ Reduce stress for your dog
-
Prepare the environment: Keep the car quiet and calm. Sudden noises and movements can startle your dog, so try to create a calm environment.
-
Use your dog's favorite items: Bring along his favorite toy or blanket to help him feel comfortable in the car.
- Create a quiet environment: Loud noises can cause stress, so try to keep the environment in the car quiet.

We use the raw ingredients and, of course, no additives, so you can use it with confidence.
Ayu can be eaten whole, from head to tail.
Since you eat the bones as well, it is rich in calcium, which is said to contain three times the amount of calcium found in Pacific sardines.
It also contains high-quality protein and a moderate amount of fat, giving it a rich flavor for a river fish.
Ayu contains a lot of calcium and magnesium, which are very important minerals for building strong bones.
It is also recommended for children with meat allergies such as beef and chicken.
◆ No.5 Soda Katsuobushi Stick
◆Product Features
Bonito flakes are high in protein and low in calories.
Human-grade dried bonito flakes that have been exposed to plenty of sea breeze and sunlight to prepare for their delicious flavor.
Bonito is rich in high-quality, easily digestible protein and calcium.
The moisture is slowly removed and then, with a little extra effort, it is cut into thin stick form.
Muneta flakes have a stronger flavor than bonito flakes, are rich and full-bodied, have a strong aroma, and have just the right amount of chewiness, making them a delight to chew.
We use only fresh fish meat, in pursuit of the deliciousness of the original fish ingredients. Fish is a low-allergen food, so we recommend it for children with meat or wheat allergies. If you are looking for something like that, please give it a try.
