Tips on Traveling With Your Dog By Car

When traveling by car, be sure to keep your dog comfortable.

* Bring along a favorite toy to make your dog feels secure.

* If it's hot, open car windows to provide sufficient ventilation.

* Do not let your dog stick its head out of the window; this may lead to eye or ear injuries.

* Do not let your dog travel in the back of an open pickup truck. Your dog could be injured in an accident.

* To help prevent motion sickness in your dog, take several short trips in the car before your journey.

* Feed your dog lightly before the trip, about one-third the normal amount.
