• Get your dog used to the car by letting him sit in it with you without leaving the driveway, and then going for short rides.
• Avoid carsickness by letting your dog travel on an empty stomach. However, make sure he has plenty of water at all times.
• Keep the car well ventilated. If the dog is in a crate, make sure that fresh air can flow into the crate.
• Don’t let your dog ride with his head sticking out of an open window (this can lead to eye injuries).
• Never let your dog ride in the back of an open truck. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to severe injuries or death.
• Stop frequently for exercise and potty breaks. Be sure to clean up after your dog.
• Never leave your dog unattended in a closed vehicle, particularly in the summer.
