Road trips with your dog can create some of the best memories.
But before starting the engine, it's important to think about safety and comfort.
Keep your dog appropriately secured
An unrestrained dog can become a distraction inside a moving vehicle.
Use an appropriate restraint or transportation solution suited to your dog and vehicle.
Protect your car
Dogs can bring dirt, fur and moisture into a vehicle.
A suitable car seat cover or protective mat can help keep the interior easier to clean while giving your dog a defined travel area.
Bring water
Long journeys require preparation.
Bring water and a suitable portable drinking solution so your dog can stay hydrated during appropriate breaks.
Take breaks
Long journeys aren't only tiring for humans.
Plan suitable stops where your dog can stretch, drink and take a break.
Keep the environment comfortable
Consider temperature, ventilation and your dog's general comfort throughout the journey.
Never leave your dog unattended in a potentially dangerous vehicle environment.
Prepare before you leave
A few minutes of preparation can make your trip significantly easier.
Check your restraint, water, travel accessories and destination requirements before leaving.
