Tips for travelling safely with your dog
Before the trip: preparation and settling in
- Do some short journeys beforehand if your dog is not used to travelling.
- Take his roll-up blanket so he has a familiar space to relax in.
- Do not feed your dog just before setting off, to avoid travel sickness.
During the journey: comfort and safety
- Use a harness with a restraint or a carrier to avoid dangerous movements in the car.
- Stop every 2-3 hours so he can stretch his legs and drink some water.
- Keep the temperature in the vehicle pleasant.
At your destination: make him feel at home
- Put his roll-up blanket in a quiet spot so he gets used to the new surroundings.
- Take his toys or something with his scent on it so he feels safer.
- Keep to his feeding and walking routine to cut down on stress.
