A road trip with your dog is an adventure, but it also requires good preparation. In this blog you can read what to look out for so that you can both enjoy the trip - whether it is an hour's drive or a trip to France.
1. Build it up with short rides
Get your dog used to the car. Start with short trips and reward positive behavior. This prevents stress on longer distances.
2. Safety first
Use a dog seat belt or a good travel crate. Never let your dog loose in the backseat or passenger seat.
3. Plan enough stops
Stop every 2 hours for a short walk, a drink and a toilet break. Find out in advance where there are rest areas or dog friendly parks.
4. Bring comfortable accessories
A soft blanket, cooling bandana, water bottle, snacks and favorite toys are a must. Don't forget a window screen to protect against the sun.
5. Pay attention to the temperature in the car
Never leave your dog in a parked car. Even with a window open it will quickly become too hot.
With good preparation, road tripping with your dog becomes a relaxed experience. Choose comfort, safety and style - the travel-proof items from Jaap & Co are perfect for on the road.
