With regards to food, make sure you have enough supply of what your dog is used to and slowly introduce what is available locally so his system can adjust to that without any nasty side effects. Same applies when you are taking him out on the streets, for a run or walk; let him take in the new surrounding, little bit at a time, for initially he is likely to be wary of everything around them till they get acclimatized to all.
