and a health certificate from your veterinarian.

[narrator] Your dog may be a bit nervous
or excited in these surroundings,
so he may need to go outside to potty more often than usual,
so be sure to take your dog for a long walk.
This will also help tire him out,
so he'll sleep through the night.
And as always, make sure you pick up after your dog
when you take him out for a walk.

[onscreen action] Woman putting dog in crate in hotel room.

[narrator] Anytime you need to leave the room,
put your dog in his crate
along with chew bones and a couple of toys.

[narrator] Then, turn on the television while your dog is in the room.
This will drown out unfamiliar noises,
discouraging him from barking, whining, or howling.
