For some, they associate it with going to the vet, while others&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;like the loud noises that vehicles and the road&nbsp;make.&nbsp;Most dogs get afraid of the car from time to time, but thankfully for owners, there are plenty of ways to get your&nbsp;pup&nbsp;comfortable riding in the car.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Get Your Pup Comfortable in the Car&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/battisonhonda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/703\/2020\/09\/happy-dog-in-car_b.png\" alt=\"Dog looking happy in car\" class=\"wp-image-2375\" width=\"315\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/714\/2020\/09\/23105948\/happy-dog-in-car_b.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/714\/2020\/09\/23105948\/happy-dog-in-car_b-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog has always been fearful of riding in cars or has recently developed anxiety around it, try some of these tips and tricks to get them more comfortable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get them in the car more. Bring your dog somewhere fun, like a park or pet store, to help them associate riding in vehicles with going somewhere enjoyable. This is especially important if all previous car rides have been to places your dog may not enjoy, such as the vet, groomers, or kennel. <\/li><li>Start with short trips in the car.&nbsp;Don\u2019t&nbsp;expect your fearful&nbsp;pup&nbsp;to get over their anxiety after just one hour-long trip. Start by bringing them on short rides here and there to get them more comfortable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Avoid treats or food before driving. Just like us, dogs car&nbsp;get&nbsp;carsick if&nbsp;they\u2019ve&nbsp;eaten too much before hopping in the passenger seat. Be sure to get them in the car a few hours after&nbsp;they\u2019ve&nbsp;eaten.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Let them get used to the sounds of the car. If your dog&nbsp;won\u2019t&nbsp;even go near a running vehicle on their own, try getting them in the backseat with the door closed and let them get used to the sounds your car makes. Sit in the driver\u2019s seat while the car runs to help them familiarize themselves with the vehicle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/battisonhonda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/703\/2020\/09\/Dog-in-car-with-harness_b.png\" alt=\"Dog wearing harness in car\" class=\"wp-image-2374\" width=\"315\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/714\/2020\/09\/23105947\/Dog-in-car-with-harness_b.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/714\/2020\/09\/23105947\/Dog-in-car-with-harness_b-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Pet-Friendly Vehicle&nbsp;Travel&nbsp;Products&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Car seat covers&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pet cargo liners&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pet bed with harness&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pet booster seat&nbsp;<\/li><li>Door protectors&nbsp;<\/li><li>Seatbelt harness&nbsp;<\/li><li>Net barrier between front and rear seats&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.battisonhonda.com\/blog\/5-best-smartphone-gps-and-navigation-apps\/\"><em>Which GPS App Should I Use on My Road Trip?<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving your dog\u2019s experience in the car can help take the stress out of their day and yours.
