Gold Souls, Gray Faces: 7 Tips For Traveling By Car With Senior Dogs

Going on a road trip with your best dog friend can be a challenge. Plenty of dogs enjoy a good car ride, but if it takes a few hours or even days, things can get difficult. Usually, it’s even harder with a senior dog because gray-faced pups have certain needs and, sometimes, medical conditions that younger pups don’t have.

So in addition to the preparations you’d usually make when going for a long car ride with any dog, you have to take into account the special needs that come with your dog’s advanced age. Of course, we all love our senior pups and would gladly do anything to make their journey more comfortable.

DogTime’s Gold Souls, Gray Faces series is dedicated to providing tips that will help you care for your sweet senior dog, and traveling is one of the many things that our seniors might struggle with. Here are some tips for car travel with a senior dog on board.
