1. Doggie's Personal Item. Taking your dog away from the "home den" can be very stressful on your pet. A favorite chew toy or stuffed animal can help carry the the scent from familiar to unfamiliar settings. Don't forget their leash! A "must-have" for safely transporting your pet "to and from" your car, especially during pit-stops. Leaving a spare leash and some doggie's bags in your vehicle, keeps you prepared for the times you might be in a rush to get somewhere.
2. Doggie Bed. Dogs require over 10 hours of sleep. Putting their bed in the car can help them rest comfortably, especially for long rides. If you have a big dog, a blanket from home can help to keep it warm in the backseat or a sheet to cool them off during hot weather. This is also helpful if you have a pet that sheds. If you have a small dog, purchasing a booster seat can help your animal see outside the window and keep it comfortable and safe during the ride.
3. Doggie Snacks and Treats. If your dog experiences anxiety during rides, put snacks or a bone in the car to keep their mind distracted or to reward good behavior. If you are going on a road-trip, snacks help to satisfy hunger until you reach your destination.
4. Water. Always keep your dog hydrated. Anxiety or excitement can happen during rides causing panting and loss of fluids. Putting cool water in a disposable container with a lid is an easy way to hydrate your pooch. A water bottle with a plastic bowl also comes in handy or if you need something more compact, use a zip lock bag. Simply fold the end and fill with water. It's an easy way to dispose of the container once your done quenching your pet's thirst.
