Tips for Driving with Dogs
What to Bring
- sun shield for where your dogs will be riding
- extra towels
- any medications your dogs are taking
- individual servings of canned food to mix with their standard kibble for a finicky eater
- First Aid Kit!
Before the Trip
- walk your dog before setting out--she'll work off some energy and settle down more quickly in the car
- if your dog tends to get carsick, feed him little or nothing before the trip
- make sure your dog has a sturdy collar with ID tags including your home phone number; your vet can implant a microchip (a quick, painless, and inexpensive process) in your dog,
in case her tags fall off
During the Trip
- take walk breaks every couple of hours--more frequently with young dogs
- make sure your dog has adequate ventilation, and appropriate heating or air conditioning
