Dog in the Car — Safely and Comfortably
Traveling with a dog can be a joy — or a stress. It depends on the preparation. Here are the most important tips for comfortable and safe travel with your four-legged friend.
Safety First
A dog sitting unrestrained in the car is dangerous for both you and him. In the event of sudden braking, he can get injured or cause an accident. Use a car seat or a special harness attached to the seatbelt.
What to Pack for Your Dog
- Foldable bed or mat — a familiar scent will calm the dog in a new environment
- Leash and harness with reflective elements
- Plenty of water and a bowl
- Favorite toy to calm him down
- Veterinary card and vaccination record
How to Prepare Your Dog for the Journey
Start with short trips and gradually extend the travel time. Stop every 2 hours for a walk and a drink. Never leave your dog in a parked car — the temperature inside can be fatal.
