20 Tips For Heading On A Road Trip With Your Dog

Traveling with your dog for the first time can be overwhelming and there are a few challenges that you will face. We have traveled with our pets for years and there is so much that we have learned along the way.

Being prepared and knowing what to bring along can make a road trip so much easier and more enjoyable for you and your four-legged friend.

Ease Into It With Shorter Trips

First experiences matter, especially to puppies, so you want to make sure that your dog’s first few times in the car are positive and enjoyable.

Exercise Your Dog Before The Trip

Exercise is one of the best ways to assure that your dog is tired and sleepy during a road trip.

To keep them safely in the back you can get a pet barrier that stops your dog from coming to the front. A mesh net will circulate the air while keeping your dog secure in the back seat.

Get A Crate Or A Front Seat Divider

If he’s not up for lunch – I don’t force him to eat. Sometimes the car motion can make them feel nauseous and most often their appetite will return by dinner time.

Pack Extra Dog Food

Along with food I also bring a few large bottles of water. Whenever I stop to get gas, food, or to stretch my legs, I will check to see if my dog wants some water – and then take him for a potty break after.
