Pet Travel Tips!

It's usually not as easy as you think it would be. Bringing your best non-human friend on the road with you seems simple enough, right? Not always so. Here are a few tips on how to make travel with your pet easier.

Healthy Start: The last thing you need on the road is a sick pet. Make sure your pet is all set on vaccinations and has the proper certificates if you intend to cross any international/province/state borders.

Frequent Pit Stops:  You pet can get stir crazy just like you! Stop at any designated waiting area or service stop and take it on a little walk. This may increase your travel time, but it is well worth it! Breaks like these also serve as a perfect time to hydrate.

Proper Restraint:  Whether your pet is calm and obedient in the car it is always important to make sure they are safe. No need to roll the windows down for fresh air, you don't want any debris hitting them in the face. A favorite blanket or pet bed is perfect for a long road trip. Creating a normalcy and routine for car rides helps your pet stay calm.

There are lots of other ways to make you and your pet calm during a car ride lasting anywhere between 5 minutes and 8 hours. Thank you!

The Definitive Ranking Of Car Names

Because cars can have names to! And we know that, no matter what kind of car you have, it’s yours to name as you please.

10. Old Faithful
For anyone out there who has had the same car since they first started driving. It may not be the flashiest thing on the road, but it’s been by your side since the very beginning.

9. Greased Lightning
If you’re gonna have a hot rod that looks as good as it rides, well, you might as well go all out with the name too.

8. Plunky
Your car kind of sucks. But it’s all you’ve got, and somehow you still make it get the job done. Most of the time.

7. War Eagle
How’s it feel to dominate the highway in a proverbial tank? No one cuts you off in the fast lane. No one.

6. Plain Jane
Not too good, but not too bad. There’s not really much more to it, is there?

5. Gas Rhonda
You love this thing. But your wallet hates it. It’s like justifying your first relationship to your parents all over again.

4. Ol’ Bessie
The classic blast from the past — no matter how old it is, it still looks and performs awesomely.

3. Don Giovanni
Always putting on a show, eh?

2. Frankenstude
Makes sense. Moving on now.

1. Rollin’ Stoned
If this is what you call your car, may you never yearn for friendship or good company. Rock on.
