Precautions for dogs traveling in cars

1. If you are traveling by car with your dog, even if it is only for a short distance of 1-2 hours, it is best to take a break every 30 minutes. This allows the dog to adjust and relax, reducing the chance of motion sickness.
2. Don’t let your dog alone in the car. When you take your dog out in the car, you must never leave the dog in the car, because the temperature inside the car rises at an alarming rate under direct sunlight (even in sultry weather without sunlight), and it may kill the dog in less than 20 minutes.
3. Dogs with short noses, such as Pekingese, need special care because it is more difficult for dogs with short noses to dissipate heat.
