Traveling with your dog

As a dog owner I love my furry baby to the ends of the world.

I go almost everywhere with her.

I would take her to work with me if it was allowed.

However I do realize that when I take her with me to the park, beach, etc, I need to get us to our destination safely.

I must realize that no matter how much I love my furry friend she too can be a distraction like texting while driving

if the proper safety precautions aren’t followed.

There are certain things to pack for when you and your four legged friend go somewhere.

These items include seat covers to keep fir from getting everything, paper towels and stain remover in case of an

accident, food and water, and potty bags just in case.

Tips to make sure your dog is happy during the ride

Other tips for a pleasant trip with Fido include treating any kind of car sickness.

This can include nausea which can be treated with medicine from your vet, nervousness while driving which the effect can be lessened by putting Fido in the car without going

anywhere, and providing plenty of praise so that they know that you love them and that they will survive this trip.

Another tip for making sure it is a pleasant ride for everyone is too take bedding and toys for man's best friend so that they don’t get bored, and can take a nap if they get

tired.

The next topic of discussion for a pleasant trip with man's best friend is different ways to avoid an accident.

Ways to protect Fido include placing them in a crate during the trip.

The reasoning behind this is that if you need to suddenly step on the breaks to avoid hitting another vehicle the crate

will keep your canine from hitting the windshield or flying out of the car.

Temperature and how it affects your dog

Lets discuss temperature in your car and how it affects your pooch.

Leaving your dog in the car is dangerous for a number of reasons.

The first reason is the temperature.

If you left your pooch in a car on a day that it is 85 degrees outside of the vehicle that can quickly turn into 102 degrees

inside the vehicle.

Likewise if you leave your furry friend in the car on a cold day he or she can freeze.

In conclusion by remembering and using these tips you and your dog can have a safe trip in the car.
