When traveling by vehicle:

• Our dogs should be anchored or crated. 
• The front seat is for humans.
• Please make plenty of rest stops.
• Keep those heads inside the vehicle, please.
• Travel with up-to-date vaccinations and identifications.
• Do not leave your dog unattended, especially during summer.
