A big part of staying safe on any trip with your dog is to make sure your dog can be clearly seen at all times. If you get out in the evenings or at night with your dog, it’s vitally important both for his safety and for yours that he been seen by oncoming cars and be seen by you, should his leash slip out of your grip.
We’ve got a handy product that one Dog Travel Experts reader will win: a Dog-e-Glow LED Dog Leash! Bright LED lights make your dog leash super visible even on the darkest nights. The leash has two settings: a constantly lit setting as well as a blinking setting for extra attention!

When should you feed your dog while on a trip? Before you start driving? Take a pit stop to feed it? I’m not sure when because I don’t want my dog to become sick.
I’m planning on getting a dpg soon. I don’t want my dog to run away from me if she sees another animal, dog, or person so I will use a leash at first. If you are in an open area like a field, is it ok to put your dog on a longer leash (longer than 6 ft)?
I’m going to get a new puppy soon and I am debating on whether to get a crate. Is a crate really necessary? If I need to travel with my dog, can I just start crate training it a few months before?
Update: Noah is now riding in the car even better than before (settles more quickly)…latest concern I am wondering if it’s more to do with him being a puppy and will work itself out or if it’s something I need to work on correcting and how to do so – when at a park (dog or otherwise), most of the dogs tend to be at least several months older than him and sometimes these other dogs may play with him at first but then after awhile either lose interest or they’ve grabbed onto a toy and don’t want to share it. When he gets ignored, Noah will start barking..which right now is adorable because it’s a hound dog bay and everyone laughs when he does it….however I know not everyone will always think it’s cute.

I have two dogs. One is a Great Pyrenees, the other an Australian Shepherd. The GP travels well, but the AS whimpers and has anxiety even on very short trips. The odd thing is that she loves to go and will jump in the car at every opportunity. Is she just that excited or is she nervous? Short trips aren’t so bad, but on long trips her anxiety gets to everyone after a while. Any suggestions on how we might can calm her? I’ve pondered Xanax in desperate moments, but was afraid that she would get sick.
I enjoy taking my dog, Toby, on trips to the nearest big city (about an hour away) so we can go to petstores and pet parks that are not available in our area. I also like to bring him along because I do not like the fact that I would have to leave him at home for 10+ hours otherwise. However, I do enjoy eating out in a restaurant (not a whole lot of options in a small town) while I am in a big city as well. It would abviously not be wise to leave my dog in the car for an hour, so how can I manage to bring my K-9 companion along if I need to make a stop at a place that isn’t dog friendly?
My dog gets way to excited when we travel..she barks and whines and runs back in forth…a big part of the time. She is a cattle dog mix and I think her breed may have something to do with it. She gets excited and wants to go for rides all the time, but when we do she seems stressed out at least part of the time.
Sandy, it’s interesting that your cattle dog mix and my Australian Shepherd mix have a similar issue given that they are similar in breed. I wonder what the response to our dilemma will be.

How can I keep Sissy from barking and jumping up and down in the car when a schoolbus passes the car?
We usually crate our two pugs when we travel in the car because it seems to be safest. However, I still worry that if we were in an accident, they would still get a lot of the impact in the back of my crossover where the crate is. Is that still the best place for them to ride or is there a safe option?
Our puppy is afraid to use stairs inside buildings. Outside he’s great on stairs, doesn’t hesitate to run up and down them. But inside buildings he puts the brakes on and refuses and starts shaking. It was no big deal to scoop him up and carry him as a tiny puppy but at 8 months old our collie puppy Izzo weighs 60# and is gaining more all the time. We have no stairs in our house so he didn’t get real early exposure to them. Any ideas of how we can get him used to them?
Our collie puppy Coach Izzo gets car sick. His first ride was from the breeder in Wisconsin to our home in Michigan so it was a doosey. He got sick 5 minutes into the trip but only once more before we made it home.We had him in a crate for the ride. We were hoping with practice and age he’d grow out of it. We took him to puppy class which is about 5 miles each way and each time he got sick. We tried not feeding him before hand, then tried only feeding him a little, even tried ginger snaps, nothing worked. He’s not in a crate anymore for the ride but with our other adult collie. Now even at 8 months old when he sees us getting the car ready to go someplace he runs the oposite way. We love taking small day trips with our dogs but don’t want him sick all the time. He starts drooling excessively then gets sick. Any ideas of what we can do so he can experience the joy of a ride in the car?
When I travel, I always take a few of Sissy’s favorite toys with us. She always seems disinterested in them and tries to go for things she’s not allowed to have. Do you have any suggestions?
Sissy will growl at other dogs when she’s not the center of attention. Is there any way for her to stop doing this?
What is the best way to get me dog used to a house full of kids when we travel?
I feed Sissy dry and wet food. I buy the wet food in tubs and usually refrigerate after I give it to her. When traveling, do I need to refrigerate it or will it be ok? She goes through a tub every 3 days.
How do I get my dogs used to sleeping in a tent or rv?
What is best for a medium sized dog to travel in by car?

I ment *carry not care sorry
I heard when traveling to England they will confiscate your dog and hold then for 30 days to make sure they don’t care anything. If this is the case, if I were to bring her vet records and make sure she had all her tags could this be avoided?
Yes, you can avoid the quarantine by carefully following the procedures in this leaflet: http://www.defra.gov.uk/publications/files/pb13582-bringing-pets-to-uk-120229.pdf Basically it involves first microchipping your dog (the microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for it to count), rabies shot, follow up, tapeworm treatment, and correct paperwork. Just allow plenty of time to get the paperwork done!
I have found that the best way to keep my dog occupied is using her kong stuffer toys. I will use them If I go out or If I have to leave her in the car for a bit and she zones out. I can run in to a gas station and use the restroom or grab a few groceries or etc. but then when I get back to the car she gets super excited to see me and will then get sick. What other choices do I have to occupy my dog while I make a few errands & I can leave her in the car and not worry? (doesn’t deal with anytype of foodp please .)

P.S. I have done the thing where I put them in the truck and just drive around a little bit…with no stops at the vet, groomer, etc. I’ve even taken them to McDonald’s a couple times to get a cheeseburger! (yah, I know, but I want car rides to be ‘ok’ for them)
They also have a bike trailer. We go to the park every day in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, so they’re accustomed to being on wheels, and they LOVE that thing! It’s just car rides…

My puppy Noah (4mos) rides well in the car for the most part..however he sometimes is in the mood to not sit/lay still. He will listen and initially sit/lay down, but after a bit starts moving around again. If he’s in the back that’s ok & I just look back at him when I can to make sure he’s alright, however he is Lab/ Shar Pei and I think some kind of Hound dog (Rhodesian Ridgeback?) so he likes to be close to me and if I let him be in front passenger seat, how do I get him to stay in his seat? Do I just need to use a lot of treats and gradually wean him of them? Also if he is sitting up and can see out, he sometimes barks/howls at people or at times it appears to be randomly..as long as it doesn’t surprise me, as he’s part Hound it’s kinda cute hearing his little howl, but how do I teach him that he needs to ride quietly in the car?
