Try to limit your dog’s food and water intake in the hours before a car ride, so they don’t get sick because of the excess movement.
You can also make the car an exciting and comforting place for your dog by coaxing them in with a small treat and telling them how well they’re behaving in a cheerful tone as you get them in.
Once they’re okay with getting inside and sitting down, the motion and sounds of the car may take some getting used to. You can try taking shorter car rides to start—perhaps just around the block until your pup is used to the motion.
If you want to make sure you and your pup are covered for any eventuality, you may want to take a moment to review your car insurance policy. To do this easily, check out the
