Choose a pet-friendly route
If you want to travel with your dog, you have to choose a pet-friendly route for little breaks and exercise, such as stretching your legs. Pay attention to their behavior because they will want to go to the bathroom as well.
“Most major rest stops have dog areas for them to go to the bathroom, stretch their legs and play,” says Dana Vachon, CPDT-KA, a dog trainer at Philly Unleashed Dog Training.
Moreover, because of the coronavirus pandemic, you have to avoid crowded places as well, so it’s important to keep 6 feet of distance between you and your dog and another person. “A general rule is to treat pets like a family member,” said Dr. Lin Chen, director of the Travel Medicine Center at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “States have different levels of the virus, and some states have different levels of quarantine recommendations.”

You should not allow your dog to put his head out of the car window when traveling. The dog can contract pink eye, like humans, or some bug or debris can fly into the dog’s eyes. I’m surprised you did not include this in your article. Vets will tell you to keep your dog’s head inside the car, not out the window when traveling on he road. Joanne Roberts, Beloit, WI.
