Travel Tips

Car Travel

When taking your dog on a car trip it is important to keep him properly restrained, for the safety of everyone involved. This can be done by using a dog grille to keep the dog in one area of the car, by using a harness (which is similar to a seat belt), or using a crate. It is also a good idea to use window guards which allow you to keep the windows open for ventilation, but prevent your dog from jumping out.

Plan to make frequent stops for water, stretching and letting your dog relieve itself. Never leave a dog unattended in the car, especially in hot weather. Try not to give your dog too much to eat because this could upset his stomach. If your dog is prone to car sickness you may be able to give him motion sickness pills, but never give your dog any medications without your vet's permission.
