Whether youre planning to bring your dog up to the cottage, taking him/her for his/her annual check-up at the vet, or simply heading to the off-leash dog park, there is a good chance that youll need a car to get there. For some owners, a car trip with their dog is no big deal; its a simple as popping their pooch in the back seat and hitting the road.
For others, even a fifteen minute drive can be a total disaster. Whichever might be the case for you and your dog, its important to be aware of all the potential hazards that exist on the road, and to be prepared. Not all dogs will be perfect passengers, but by taking a few simple steps and precautions, you can ensure that your next road trip goes as smoothly as possible.
