Car trips with your dog in the UAE
How to keep your dog safe and your car clean on the way to the vet, the park or the beach.
Keep your dog secured
A loose dog can distract you and get hurt in a sudden stop. Clip a seat-belt tether to a harness, not a collar, so any pull doesn't land on the neck.
Cool the car first
Run the AC before your dog gets in, and keep it on for the whole trip. Bring water, and stop for breaks on longer drives.
Never leave your dog in a parked car
A parked car heats up within minutes, even in the shade with the windows open. Take your dog with you, or leave them at home.
Keep the sand out
Shake off sand and rinse salty paws before the drive home. A seat cover catches the rest, and you can wash it when it needs it.
