How much water should I give my pet during a car trip?
Now, what do you do about your pet? You don’t want to leave it alone in the house or board it, so you decide to take your dog or cat along for the long haul. Traveling with a pet isn’t terribly uncommon — about half of pet owners report that they would do so [source: McGuire]. The merchandise available in pet stores reflects that trend as well. You can buy specialized carriers, hammocks, car seats, beds, toys and sedatives to ensure that your pet is as comfortable on the car trip as you are.
