Road trips, especially ones that start in your own driveway, are a straightforward way to travel with your dog. No worrying about airline pet policies, no real pressure to pack efficiently — and your pup needn’t be stowed under the seat in front of you. Still, there are some tips and resources you’ll want to know about, and you’ll certainly want to know about ways to keep your dog safe while you roll on down the highway.
