Go For A R-I-D-E! Car Travel Tips For Your Dog

One of the joys of owning a dog is taking him out along with you for a car ride. Dogs love it too. Their tails express their happiness. However, you need to take a few precautions when you plan to take your dog out for a car ride.

Go for shorter rides first
Pick out a location nearby such as a beach or a garden and bundle your dog into your car for the short drive. Be sure he wears one of those stylish NFL dog collars you can get from poshpuppysports.com. The collar keeps him safely in place and you can focus on driving. When you get to your destination you can take him out on a leash and let him have a romp.

Go to dog friendly places
It goes without saying that when you go for a car ride you will alight at some destinations. Make sure these are dog-friendly, where you can take your dog, properly restrained with a leash and a suitable NFL dog collar from Posh Puppy Sports

Sometimes it may be necessary to leave your dog in the car when you park and go into a store or a restroom. In such cases it would be a good idea to have a dog harness to keep your dog snugly comfortable in his seat with no chances or running away. This is in addition to the dog collar and leash. Dog harnesses keep dogs safely in the seat instead of allowing them to hang half outside the car windows. That is dangerous since he can fall outside. The wind can also damage his ears and eyes.

Dog essentials
There are quite a few things you can carry by way of dog essentials such as water bowls and food but one thing to not forget is a poop bag or a couple of them. If you are going on a long drive or a short vacation somewhere then you need to carry the entire lot including kennel, dog bed, certifictes, tags, food and medication as well as toys.

Make sure he does his business before he gets into your car
You do not want your dog to poop or piss inside the car. Feed him 4-5 hours before departure time and encourage him to do his “business” before he gets into the car. Give him dry food and less liquid diet before going off on a long drive. Learn to recognize signs when he wants to empty his bladder or bowels and stop the car to allow him to relieve himself.

RFID tag
Buy a dog collar from poshpuppysports that has RFID tag so you can locate him should he wander off somewhere. It is a small investment but it can save you quite a bit of hassle in locating him if he gets lost somewhere.

Carry a backpack in which your dog can fit should you be planning on going for long hikes in the forest. Your dog may walk part of the way but if he gets tired, you can just pop him into the backpack and keep going.
