Every time we have to take our dog somewhere far away, we will surely need a car. But we will not be able to carry it in any way, since if we did we would run the risk of suffering an accident.
To prevent this from happening, we are going to explain how to take my dog in the car, so that both he and you go comfortable and, above all, safe.
What does my dog need to drive?
One of the most important things we have to buy when we decide to live with a dog is a harness and a seat belt for dogs. In addition, if it is large, a separating net can be very useful, and if it is small, a carrier. We may think that perhaps it is too much, but we must think that, even if the journey is short, the risk of something happening will always be present, that is why prevention is so important.
How to take it inside the car?
Once we have everything we need, what we will do is put on the harness. This does not have to be too tight or too loose. Ideally, we can insert two fingers between the harness and the animal's body; in this way, it will not be uncomfortable for you to wear. Then, we put the seat belt which has to allow him to move in the same chair; that is, the dog should not be able to reach the seat in front of him.
When the car is moving, it is important that the dog remains calm. If he is very nervous and / or if the journey is going to be long, it will be highly advisable to take him out for a walk before leaving and make stops every 2 hours so that he can stretch his legs and relieve himself.
