Your pet loves being outside, and he loves being free. You're not sure how he'll handle being trapped in the car on a long trip. Luckily, there are small things that you can do to keep him happy on the road.

A few steps you can take to help your dog stay comfortable.

• Use a crate. It's much safer than letting them roam the cabin free.
• Bring plenty of toys for your pet.
• Make frequent stops to get your pet out of the car.
• Bring treats for your pet and feed them often.
• Be patient with your pet when he has a hard time. Remember, this is all new for him.
