Keep your dog entertained
If you want to have a peaceful and beautiful vacation, it is important to keep your dog as entertained as long as possible, especially on the road. So, don’t forget about their toys, but don’t let it distract you from the road, though. “Bring your dog something to chew on,” Vachon says. Not only will these chew toys keep them busy throughout the trip, but they will be much calmer.
You can also choose some toys that can keep your dog mentally active, such as tug toys. Dog disc toys or fetch toys will also get your dog moving, “but they should only be used at rest stops that offer your dog lots of space to run around,” said Vachon. “Not just a big parking lot.”
You should also make sure that your dog is hydrated properly. “I fill up a non-spill bowl with ice and let it melt. This helps a lot when the weather is hot.”

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.
