Most dog owners don't take their dogs while traveling because they're not sure if the dog can handle it. However, there are ways to ensure fun, stress-free travel with your dog, if you follow these 5 simple tips.

Several problems often occur with your dog while traveling in the car. These problems are mostly the result of stress and anxiety, especially if your dog is scared or is not used to being inside a car while the engine is running. Car travel with your pet may also be a problem if you have a high strung dog who can't sit still for a long period of time or if he associates any kind of negative experiences while traveling in the car.

According to a record keeping study that was started in May of 2005, by the US Department of Transportation, 96 pets were either injured, lost, or had died during air travel. Out of this number, exactly 17 pets were lost, 49 died, and 30 were injured. This information is probably a big surprise to most of you, considering that boarding your pet in a crate for airline travel is supposed to be safe.
