1.Bring supplies like plastic bags and water bowls so you don't leave a mess behind, or in your car.

2.Never let your dog ride in your lap or unsecured in a seat. If an accident happens, they become deadly, free-flying objects.

3.Keep your dog's head inside the car. At high speeds, a dog'ss eyes and nose could be damaged by objects whizzing past the car.

4.Keep your dog in the back seat, away from air bags. If an air bag deploys, it could seriously harm or kill your dog due to its child-like size and fragility.

5.Use a pet harness specifically made for dogs. These harnesses protect their chest area in sudden impacts or stops.

6.Do not treat your pet like a human by strapping him into the car seat belt. These belts are engineered for people, not canines.
