Tips for Traveling with Your Dog

Are you thinking of bringing your furry friend along for a fantastic getaway to the Smoky Mountains? If so, you've come to the right place! We offer several pet friendly Gatlinburg cabins with top notch amenities and ample coziness.

1. Packing for Your Puppy

Create a list of items your pet needs from home to have a comfortable stay in the Smokies. Having a checklist of medications, favorite toys, and snacks will help you and your pet remain stress-free while traveling. On your puppy packing list, be sure to include a towel or blanket for backseat snuggling, pet food, potty bags, a water dish, a durable leash, and treats. You may also want to pack pet shampoo and a bath towel for quick clean ups, ID tags, and vet information. One thing you won’t need to worry about packing when you stay with Diamond Mountain Rentals is a crate - we provide a large dog crate in your cabin at no additional cost! 

Having your dog's everyday items with you during your trip is important because it helps to keep their comfort level at an all-time high. Being in new places can cause your pet to feel anxious, but having familiar scents and recognizable items will help them better adjust to new surroundings. 

2. Rain Storms and Your Pet

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park can be prone to brief showers of rain now and then. Having your pet's shampoo and a bath towel can come in handy in case your pet comes in contact with a friendly mud puddle or two. If your pet is scared of thunder, you may want to remember to bring along a Thunder Jacket to protect your pet until the storm passes.

3. Check The Trails

One of the most memorable parts of visiting the Smokies is hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Strolling along trails and jumping over creeks with your furry friend is an experience that you will treasure forever. However, make sure to check out which trails are pet friendly and will allow your pooch to come along for the ride. There are many places in the park that are pet friendly, but it's good to know where to find them before you start off on your adventure of the day.
 

4. Book Your Perfect Cabin

Aside from deciding on your vacation destination each year, choosing your lodging is the most important decision you'll have to make. Fortunately, we have a variety of pet friendly cabins in Gatlinburg to suit all of your needs. These cabins range from 1 to 4 bedrooms, and are equipped with luxury amenities that your whole group (including your pet!) will enjoy. 

 We know that it's not a vacation without every member of the family; so why not let your pet tag along for the adventure of a lifetime?!
