Awesome Videos Of Dogs In Cars

 



Do you travel with your dog? If you haven't done that before with your dog, moving cars is quite possibly a new environment for your dog, and it will require some adjustment on both you and your dog to get started with it, you having a valuable passenger in the backseat that is unfamiliar with the new territory (that is moving), and your dog being there trying to figure out what is going on. Some dogs may never get used to the idea of car rides but for most dogs, once they become more acquainted and familiar with the fast movement of a moving car and get used to traveling with their owners by doing it more than one time already, most dogs started to relax and get a sense of familiarity, remembering that they have done it before, and started to enjoy the ride a little more instead of possibly throwing up, feeling tense and anxious. Some dogs cannot wait to be in the backseat and go for car rides, and if you ever wonder why... and if they can ever speak human language, they probably answer you a big resounding: because its fun! its called living man :-)

But this article is more on sharing some awesome videos of dogs in cars! So here are some cool ones i found in YouTube:

A Dog That Travels

Lap Dog

Most dogs are cute and playful that its almost like a magnet that we, humans, always love to be around them. Many dog owners are so into having their dogs around, that they always bring their dogs wherever they go even when they travel and drive town or out-of-town. But sometimes, it is pushing too far or possibly beyond the limit when a dog owner drive with his/her dog in his/her lap. Having a dog in your lap while driving may sound kinda cute and fun but it is quite dangerous for you, your dog or pet, and to other drivers driving around you. Driving with your dog on your lap may sometimes work for you many times in the past and didnt bother you a bit, but in some instances like sudden breaking or other unplanned cases that may occur beyond your control while driving, your complete control in the steering wheel may somehow diminish because the dog movement and location may somehow affect you and your control in the steering wheel in anyway it possibly could. In some circumstances, a dog or pet in your lap while driving may act as an obstacle and a barrier, so why do it? Some states or places may already have a law banning pet owners from driving with their dogs or other kind of pets in the lap due to actual accidents that occured in the past concerning pet owners with pets in their lap while driving. But even if law is not strictly implemented or required in your area, driving with your pet in your lap is never the safest thing for anyone to do at anytime. For the safety of everyone including your dog, it is better to drive with your pet off your lap, for sure your pet will not get angry with you for doing so and thinking of his/her safety as well as yours.

Dogs In The Cars During Summertime

Most of us love to travel with our dogs, but here comes summertime and in many parts of the nation like California, weather temperatures here easily gets intensely hot and uncomfortable for both humans and dogs to be outdoors for so long. Many of us, when we travel with our dogs on a hot summer or spring day, we usually either have an aircon on or have the windows open while the car is on the move to allow fresh air to flow through easily the vehicle. But when we leave our dogs in a building parking lot inorder to go shopping or to dine in a restaurant, a lot of times these type of establishments all over the country do not allow dogs in their premises, so we ended up having to leave our dogs inside the car while we eat in a restaurant or enjoy shopping in an air conditioned room. So if you plan to leave your dog in the car because you have stuff to do while your dog waits in the car, then try to park your car in a shaded area with windows crack open so that the dog can have a breeze and the car wont get oven-hot while your dog is waiting for you. There are definitely instances that it is best for someones dog to just stay in the house than be left behind alone in a parking lot inside a car while the hot summer afternoon sun directly cooking the car and making the car feeling like an oven.

During your travels and trips with your dogs, it is definitely ideal to always bring along fresh water and a water bowl handy for your dogs specially during hot days so that your dog can have a drink when needed to regain some fluid back into his/her system specially that summer heat can easily make people and pets dehydrated and thirsty.

Our Travelling Doggy

We are extremely happy and proud of our doggy because she finally can adjust to being in a car and can now handle long trips.

For two days in a row, we brought our dog with us on our long travels that took as more than eight (8) hours of travel per day. And we are so thrilled that she no longer puke and vomit like she used to do when we first adopted her. She used to get car sick all the time that is why we were quite hesitant to bring her to most of our travels.

But good thing that we took the time to train her to shorter trips like a 10-15 minutes drive to the grocery store or to the post office, she finally learned how to manage herself while inside the car while on the move. It took us months training her with shorter trips before she finally get accustomed to the moving car, and could handle the longer trips.

So if you have a dog that get car sick all the time during your trips, try to train your dog by brining your dog to shorter trips, as it might just work for you and your dog too. Just like our dog, there is great hope for most dog to get adjusted and become a traveler as well, it might not happen overnight, but with practice and perseverance, your effort will be rewarded with a fun and exciting trips having your the company and presence of your dog.

Traveling With Your Dog

When we first adopted our dog, she was still less than a year old, we had a really hard time bringing her on our trips because she ended up vomiting during the car rides. It was never pleasant cleaning up messy pukes in a fabric material car seats, nor was dealing with the puke smell for the rest of our trip, and nor was the thought how bad the doggy must be feeling inside, probably feeling so sick!

But few years have gone by and our doggy started becoming more like a traveler. She enjoys car rides and traveling with us nowadays. It was not an instant change though. Instead of shocking our dog with long trips like we did in the very beginning, we decided to gradually bring her to shorter trips like going to the post office, or a short ride to the nearest grocery store, just so she get accustomed to the car environment at first and she get adjusted to it. We decided to gave her short but gradual travel training. We also try to avoid feeding her plenty of food and water before the trip. Just before a trip, if we needed to feed our dog, we usually just give her little portions of food, just so she will not starve and not too much food, so that she will be so full, she is more likely to vomit during the trip.



So if you have the same problems (puking and vomiting) with your dog during travels, try to practice your dog in shorter trips first. More preferably not more than 30 minutes drive, so that she will get use to the car environment, having an idea of bumpy and unstable position of being a car passenger and she will know how to react in those scenarios. Also try controlling the amounts of food that you feed your dog before each trip and during the trip. And for longer trips, try to make rest stops in between to relax and unwind the dogs stamina and stress during car rides.
