But whether the car journey is 5 minutes or 5 hours long, the most important thing you as a responsible dog owner have to consider is safety: yours and your dog\u2019s as well as the safety of other road users.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rule 57 of the Highway Code, drivers are responsible for ensuring their pets are suitably restrained in a vehicle so they can\u2019t distract or injure the drivers, other passengers or themselves during an emergency stop. And yet, research has shown that more than 25% of pet owners fail to do this before setting off on a car journey.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, travelling without proper restraint is one of the main causes of injury or death for dogs in a car involved in an accident. Did you know that in a 30-mph crash, an unrestrained 70lb Labrador would be thrown forward with a force that\u2019s the equivalent of 220lb? It\u2019s what safety experts call a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gazetteandherald.co.uk\/news\/7323361.Is_your_dog_a_killer_canine_cannonball_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">canine cannonball<\/a> and it really doesn\u2019t bear thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your pup is large or small, loves or hates being in the car, driving with a dog requires careful planning. Here are the top 5 tips to make sure every car journey with your four-legged pal is a tail wagging success.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/safe-road-trip-with-your-dog-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"2569\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit:\u00a0Tadeusz Lakota via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>1. Doggy Seat Belts<\/h2>\n<p>It is a legal requirement for all car drivers and passengers to wear a seat belt during car journeys, so why not put a seat belt on the dog too? It\u2019s the safest way to travel. Whether you choose a car safety harness, a car booster seat or a simple seat belt, the idea is to restrain your furry friend to keep him safe in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the market is awash with a wide choice of car dog accessories, so whatever size or type of dog you are trying to keep safe, you\u2019re bound to sniff out the right products.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/adrian-199149-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-wp-pid=\"2570\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit:\u00a0Adrian via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Travel Crates for Dogs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While many dogs love the thrill of travelling in a car and feeling the wind in their fur as they naughtily stick their head out of the window, others can feel overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of car travel. If this sounds like your pooch, a \u2018mobile den\u2019 where he can snuggle up in safety in comfort is the perfect answer.<\/p>\n<p>A crate can be your pup\u2019s home from home while you\u2019re on the road. In fact, if you use a dog crate at home, it\u2019s a familiar surrounding that your dog will associate with safety, security and comfort \u2013 perfect for overcoming his travelling phobia. Just make sure that the crate is big enough to accommodate your pet comfortably and that it fits easily into the car.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/safe-road-trip-with-your-dog-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"2571\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit:\u00a0Andrew Pons via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Fitted Dog Guards and Barriers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs can get overexcited, that\u2019s a fact. And they love riding shotgun. But having an unrestrained puppy clambering all over you in the car to give you \u2018kisses\u2019 is not safe for anyone. A mesh barrier or dog guard that keeps your pup safe in the back of the car but physically separate from the passenger area may be the best answer.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the type of vehicle you drive, there are several types of barrier that can be fitted to hatchbacks, estate cars, SUVs and even vans. On new cars, a factory fitted dog guard should be one of the additional options you can specify. Alternatively, dog safety barriers can be retrofitted by any reputable garage.<\/p>\n<p>One important piece of advice: Make sure that the barrier is a snug fit for your car and that your dog has no chance of slipping through any gaps to pay you an impromptu visit on the front seat!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/animal-731355_1920-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1276\" data-wp-pid=\"2573\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit:\u00a0Free-Photos via Pixabay<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Inside Car Temperature<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s been much media attention in recent times about the dangers of leaving a dog in a hot car. While the outside temperature may feel pleasantly warm, the temperature inside the car can be substantially hotter. Any dog locked inside a car, particularly during the summer months and even if the windows are left slightly open, is in danger of suffering heatstroke and worse.<\/p>\n<p>The RSPCA\u2019s campaign \u2018Dogs die in hot cars\u2019 has widely publicized the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlegreencarleasing.com\/blog\/do-not-leave-dog-in-hot-car#article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">risks caused to pets<\/a> in this way while educating dog owners and the general public in what to do. Their advice is simple: never leave a dog alone in a car on a warm day, not even for short periods. And if you see a dog in distress in another car, dial 911 straight away.<\/p>\n<p>To keep your pet comfortable while driving on a hot summer\u2019s day, window shades are a quick and convenient way to block out the glaring sunlight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/dog-1313241_1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" data-wp-pid=\"2575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/dog-1313241_1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/dog-1313241_1920-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit:\u00a0TessDeGroot via Pixabay<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Breaking the Journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re embarking on a long journey, your pup will need car snacks and water to drink, loo breaks and a leg stretch in the fresh air, just like you do. Treats and chew toys are a great distraction for dogs on long car journeys too. Water should be made readily available to avoid dehydration and planning a stop every couple of hours is a good idea for everyone. Make sure your dog gets a chance to relieve himself and have a good walk around.<\/p>\n<p>Why not time your pit stops to coincide with mealtimes too? Take some of your dog\u2019s usual food if you\u2019re planning a long road trip, just in case you get stuck in traffic or the car breaks down. Some dogs don\u2019t react well to being fed just before a car journey. If your pup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourdog.co.uk\/the-your-dog-blog\/survival-guide-to-your-dog-s-travel-sickness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suffers from car sickness<\/a> and tummy upsets, allow plenty of time between the end of the meal and set-off time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning for your next road trip?
