Travel Accessories for Dogs
Sometimes, just getting a large dog into a vehicle can be a problem. Unlike cutie little puppies that you can hand carry and settle down in a basket, large dogs are heavy. Of course, if they are used to travelling and if you are travelling in a car or van, they can just jump in. Before they do that, be sure to prepare the backseat – cover it with something that will catch dog hair and throw in a few toys. That should keep him occupied throughout the trip.
It is something else when you are traveling with a sick or an elderly dog; or when you are using a pick-up. How do you load a large dog into the back of your pick-up? An easy way is by using a dog ramp. A dog ramp is a sloping piece of material that facilitates access. Dog ramps for cars and trucks usually fold up when not in use.
