Hello,

I have a very cute dog and I do travel a lot. I have to take him with me where ever I do as I do not have anyone in home. But when I do travel he messup with my car interior. Can anyone advice what will be the best way to get rid of these issue? Or is there any item which can be use to reduce the issue?

Thank you very much in advance...

I use these car hammocks, I buy 2 and cut one up a bit & hang one from back of drivers & passenger seat headrests & let it cover floor & hang the other from rear seat headrests & let it do the same, they dont work as >hanging< hammocks with my dog because my dogs to heavy & the fixing points start to rip off, they are very, very effective once you've learned to find how best to manipulate them. At the moment they are only £5.99, buy 3 & get 50% off one of them, a great buy in my years of experience with them.
Note, I don't bother with the other 'frills, flowers & quilts' types they are just adds selling gimmicks of the same thing for almost 8 or 9 times as much

You might want to use a dog crate.

I see you are not in the UK. Dog crated are available worldwide & will at least contain the area your dog has access to

thanks euro been meaning to order another as the clips on mine have finally given up . I agree they are very good

The crate us the easiest to clean up too.

and if your dog is not a chewer the fabric crates don't rattle and contain any hair, etc.

Thank you guys.
I will try with these advice's you shared with me.
I am really honored for your response.

One more thing some time I cross long distance and drive long hours.
In this time is it necessary to take couple of breaks and take out my dog for walk?

Without question, CRATE.   Not only should it prevent messing or damage, but it's safer.

Well that's I will follow from now.
Will that be good if I take any small bed for dog in the car?
If yes how can I make the bed fixed in the car so that it does not move specially when I will break?

You can put any bedding needed in the crate - and actually I anchor my Whippet's crate in the car, using my old 'benching chains' attached to the rear seat anchors (the rear seat being down).   I never bothered with my far heavier Bassets in their crate but my Whippet is light and if we was in a collision, the crate could 'fly'.

Thank you very much for your advice.

I see that this question has not been answered.  Most definitely YES!  He will want to relieve himself as well as stretch his legs.

and possibly need a drink of water if the journey is really long?

Whatever u decide to use i would try and get crash tested equipment .crates need to be sturdy  and fixed within the vehicle so that in the event of an accident  they  arnt  thrown out or around the car and do more damage or so that the dog is contained within them so he doesn't escape and be lost or worse . Harnesses are available crash tested but not many and need attaching to seatbelts woth good strong attachments for the same reason.  In the UK a dog not secured could in the event of an accident render your insurance  invalid

That was straight and clear... Thank you too.. :)

Understood.
That was helpful as well and I will keep that in mind and will try to follow this way.

Thank you as well.

I am thinking to change my old car for me and for my dog.
Toyota Prius 2011 for sale (https://carfromjapan.com/cheap-used-toyota-prius-for-sale-year2011-with-insurance?sort=priceUSD)
I am willing to get one.
My cousin told me that this type of car is good for dogs as they will have better space for their comfort.

Can you please advice or let me know that is this car will be better option then sedan cars?

Amy car that has enough room fpr.tje dog to lie down and can also be secured safely is fine. Personal choice but my first chiice would be an estate car so the dogs can travel at the back in a crash tested crate

Thats great advice & I will think more before I take next step.
Thank you very much.

Just to add in support of having an estate car when 'with dog', we made the ultimate sacrifice when we had our first hound and let our MG Midget go in favour of an Estate car.  This kind of car became a routine choice ever since.

Definitely a sacrifice mamabas but couldn't see your hounds travelling  in an mg midget :)

We did one trip from the East down to Somerset with our first across the back 'seat' but taking his bed/food + our bags made the switch inevitable. 

The bigger the car, the more space you give your dog, and then the second dog, etc ... My family car looks like a dog walking van with two secured crates.

More seriously, my terrier didn't travel well as a pup and beyond, but we realised that a fleece blanket over his crate really helped. Now he doesn't need it - settles nicely and screams when he sees the fields/forest for walks.
