Traveling with your dog can be a stressful event. Here are a few tips on how to make a car trip a little easier on both you and your dog.
Car sickness is common in many dogs. To help your dog adjust to traveling, begin with small short trips while your dog is young.
Tip #1 - When taking a car trip, it is best if your dog has an empty stomach.
Tip #2 - If size permits, travel with your dog in a crate. This will help him to relax and feel more secure during the trip.
Tip #3 - Never let your dog hang his head out the window or travel in the back of an open truck while you are driving. Your dog could jump out or fall out and eye injuries are a possibility.
Tip #4 - If taking a long car trip, be sure to stop frequently and let the dog do his business. Also a short walk can be done. This will eliminate the chances of accident and will help ease your dog's nerve.
