FAQS
Yes, but there are certain rules of thumb to follow. Avoid traveling with a dog who’s not yet housebroken. If you must, stop at least once an hour for potty breaks. Try to get your dog used to traveling in the car for long stretches of time gradually. Plan your route to include dog-friendly spots where you can go for a leashed walk, or find a local dog park for a romp—a tired dog is likely to sleep the miles away. Pack her favorite dog toys for long stretches on the road when she needs a distraction, and double check that you’ve brought her provisions: adequate food, plenty of water, bags for picking up waste, medicines, and a comfy travel dog bed or blanket. Bring along towels to dry off wet or muddy feet, and cleaning supplies to deal with carsickness or bathroom accidents. Talk with your vet beforehand, especially if this is the first long road trip with your dog, to make sure you have all the medical necessities with you as you embark on your big adventure. Consult our tips for traveling with dogs to learn more.
Check to see whether your state requires dog restraints in the car, and designate an area in the vehicle where she is safe and secure. Loose dogs can cause accidents or be thrown from the car in a crash, and a harness/seatbelt-style dog restraint system or a travel crate can help keep your buddy from distracting the driver or becoming a projectile in a collision.
