Keeping Your Car Clean
Let’s face it, we like to take our pets along in the car with us, but don’t like cleaning out the messes they leave behind. I’m speaking mainly of furry messes, those other messes are even less pleasant and we won’t go into detail. I’ve found that keeping my pets localized to one area of the car, like the back, is the best way to control their shedding. This can be achieved through a pet barrier, or if you have smaller animals, a high seat will work. If you can’t put your pet in the back of the car, pet car seats work great. They keep the seat completely covered, and after a few uses, you can pull the them out and throw them in the washing machine.
Hopefully either of these solutions will prevent you from having to vacuum your car out several times each week.
Traveling for the Dogs
Whether you’ve just gotten a new puppy, or are considering taking your dogs on a trip, you should be aware of a few things beforehand. First of all, certain dogs (not restricted to any particular breed) just don’t like the car, it makes them sick. However if you introduce puppies to car travel early, there’s a good chance they will become acclimated to it and won’t mind once they’re older. For older dogs that get sick, you may want to try a drug like Dramamine, but you need to consult your Veterinarian beforehand on the dosage.
In addition to combating motion sickness, you don’t want your dog moving around too much in the car in case of an accident or a quick step on the brakes, so try to keep them calm and preferably sleeping on the floor. You may also want to consider a dog car harness to keep your pets confined to one area of the car where they can’t get into trouble.
Where Will Your Dog Be, When You Slam On the Break? – Part 3
Fido is an excitable dog who loves to live dangerously and is more than just a bit on the wild side. He insists on riding loose in the back seat of the car because he wants the freedom to check things out both side windows, and the back window too if something is attractive to him.
Fido’s parents understand his desire for freedom. They even encourage him and help him out by rolling down the side windows so Fido can stick his head out and suck in the wind. If this is you and your dog, I have a question for you. Where will Fido be when you slam on the break?
