Car Riding Issues

I have been seeing a common issue with people’s dogs. It is car sickness/ anxiety. It seems to becoming more problematic with clients. It’s important to stress that dogs in cars need adequate footing to feel safe. (They need it other places as well, not just cars:). I’ve seen lots of clients struggling with this. Adequate footing in my opinion, means rubber backed rugs for footing on top of any potentially slippery surfaces, such as leather seats, plastic floor pans/covers in SUV’s, crate pans in crates, and those dog hammocks (and better yet a dog bed placed in the hammock.). Those hammock move/sway during travel and can quickly initiate car anxiety/sickness.
