Good questions
Before you begin.
How do I help a dog who gets carsick?
Start with very short rides, keep the car cool and ask your vet about options for motion sickness.
What is the safest way to ride?
Many owners use a crash-tested crate or harness. Ask a trainer or your vet what suits your dog and car.
How often should we stop?
Plan breaks every couple of hours for water, a short walk and a bathroom stop on a leash.
Can I leave my dog in the car?
Heat makes this dangerous. Never leave a dog in a parked car on a warm day.
