For many service dog owners, traveling with their beloved companion is an integral part of life. Transporting a dog can often be a real challenge. Unpredictable animal behavior, violation of transportation rules, and non-compliance with hygiene standards can cause stress for both the owner and the dog itself. However, by following certain rules and recommendations, you can ensure a safe and comfortable trip for everyone involved.
Transporting a Service Dog in a Private Vehicle
Traveling with a dog in a personal car may seem simpler than in public transport, but it still requires compliance with certain rules and precautions.
Requirements and Rules for Transporting Service Dogs in a Car
According to traffic regulations, transporting dogs in private vehicles is permitted in specially equipped containers or crates secured in the cabin in such a way as to prevent their movement during sudden braking or maneuvering. It is also allowed to transport an animal in the back seat of the car, provided that the dog is secured with a special harness that must be attached with a short leash to a fixed part of the car, such as a seat belt anchor, headrest base, etc. The greater the weight of the animal, the more substantial the support should be.
Necessary Accessories for Transporting a Service Dog
For the comfortable and safe transportation of a dog in a private vehicle, you will need the following accessories:
- A carrier or crate that fits the size of your pet. It should be sturdy enough and have secure latches.
- A pet seat belt that will allow you to secure the dog in the back seat.
- A mat or cover to protect the car upholstery from dirt and fur.
- Water and food bowls if a long trip is planned.
- Favorite toys or treats that will help calm your pet during the journey.
Preparing a Military Working Dog for a Trip
Before the trip, it is important to properly prepare your pet. This will help avoid stress and unwanted behavior en route:
- A few days before the trip, start getting the dog used to the carrier or seat belt. Put its favorite toys and treats inside to associate these items with something pleasant.
- On the day of the trip, take the dog for an active walk so it can release pent-up energy.
- Do not feed your pet immediately before the trip to avoid nausea and vomiting on the road.
Tips for Behavior During the Trip
- While driving, do not allow the dog to stick its head out of the window. This can be dangerous for it and distract other road users.
- Make regular stops so the dog can stretch its legs and relieve itself.
- Do not leave the animal unattended in a locked car. This can be life-threatening for the pet in hot weather.
- If the dog shows anxiety or fear during the trip, try to calm it with a gentle voice and favorite treats.
