While we are still vacationing in sunny Florida, we thought we would send you some reminder tips when traveling with your Pup - traveling via car, plane or train, keep your pup safe, comfy and relaxed....
Traveling By Car With Your Dog
Get your dog used to the car by letting them sit in it with you without leaving the driveway, and then going for short rides.
Avoid carsickness by letting your dog travel on an empty stomach. However, make sure they have plenty of water at all times.
Keep the car well-ventilated. If the dog is in a crate, make sure that fresh air can flow into the crate.
Consider a dog seat belt or dog car seat to keep your dog safe.
Do not let your dog ride with their head sticking out of an open window. This can lead to eye injuries.
Never let your dog ride in the back of an open truck. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to severe injuries or death.
Stop frequently for exercise and potty breaks. Be sure to clean up after your dog.
Car rides are boring for everyone, so instruct your children not to tease or annoy the dog in the car.
Never, ever leave your dog unattended in a closed vehicle, particularly in the summer, and follow our summer safety tips for dogs. If you must leave the car, designate a member of the family to stay with the dog
