His food is available from a couple of places and could always be ordered in if necessary. One of my dog's favorite treats is fresh vegetable slices, cucumbers, squash, carrots, etc. Those come from dinner staples and are picked up along the way at farmer's markets.
Everybody's dog is going to be a bit different, you would have to figure out what works best for you.

Thanks for the feed back and method you use with travelling with pets. I live in a dry country so water for me is carrying 20 litres when I know that supplies will be a long stretch so water for a pet would be a bulky item as well. If I'm using 20 litres will that mean a dog would require the same? Carrying 40 litres of water is huge and while it's not a issue to carry for me it's all added weight plus the dogs weight as well along with food starts to add up. The more I look into this maybe a pet isn't such a good idea because of such remote locations I travel.
