How can I safely transfer two dogs in my small car?

I advise you to plan frequent dog-friendly stops along the way, especially if you are staying overnight at a hotel or motel.

I suggest you prepare for a trip with your dogs and buy dog carriers. It's a good idea to put a soft pad or blanket inside the carrier so your pets will be less stressed. If you know your dogs are afraid to ride in the car or don't tolerate trips well, start training them for the move ahead of time.

Probably the easiest way to secure a dog in a car is with a divider between the back seat and the load area of a wagon or SUV. Just load the dog into the back of the car, and it's contained in a safe area, away from the human occupants.
