Traveling With Your Dog In The Car

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

There will be a lot of considerations to keep in mind if you are going to be taking a vacation sometime soon and will be bringing your dog with you; of course, if you are going to be flying to your destination, the considerations you will have to keep in mind will be different from what you will need to pay attention to if you are driving - but that is not to say that driving a long distance with a dog is any easier! Although a driving trip with your dog will allow you to avoid all the red tape you would have to wend your way through were you to fly with a pet, you will still have to deal with your dog in the car for hours on end - which can often feel a whole lot more difficult!

Making sure your dog is comfortable is one of the biggest keys to keeping your dog happy on a long road trip; even though they might not be able to move around as much as they might like to, you can certainly improve their situation by bringing one of their favorite blankets and some of their favorite toys and making sure they are not too squished.

Your dog is likely to put in a bit of time whining during a long trip in the car, but you will want to pay attention to the reason why you feel they are whining; if they are whining simply because they wish they were outside, you can ignore the whining and wait for it to end, but you should also be aware that they may be whining because they need food, water, or a break for the bathroom!

And if there is not something your dog needs, and they are simply whining because they are tired of being in the car - and if this whining will not go away - the best solution of all is to give them a small spoonful of children's cough syrup. After they have drank all of this cough syrup, they will suddenly become much more sedated, and soon they will be drifting in and out of sleep for the remainder of your journey!
