To keep your dog safe in the car, invest in a safety-rated and crash-tested crate or harness. You don't want to let them ride freely in the car in case of an accident. Once you are ready to hit the road, make sure you give your dog frequent potty breaks, book pet-friendly accommodations and keep a feeding routine.

Can dogs handle long car rides?
Ideally, you should try to match your dog's normal routine for potty breaks and meals while on the road, but this may be difficult to do. On average, you should give your dog a break every 2 to 4 hours for about 15 to 30 minutes each, and plan on driving no more than 7 hours per day.
