Difficult, but possible – this phrase is the best way to describe a situation when there is a need to transport a dog of large size.

The first thing you need to do if you find yourself in such a situation is to find out about the rules for transportation by train, plane or bus.

Each company may have its own conditions.

If you can't agree with some of the positions, consider taking a road trip with your dog.

In this case, make sure you have a special car seat belt with which the dog will be securely fastened.

Another necessary "accessory" is a hammock cover. This item, firstly, will protect the upholstery of the seats from wool, and secondly, will allow your pet to comfortably settle in it.

In addition, you will need other things - food, water, bowls (it will be more convenient if they are collapsible) and ammunition.

Also on the list of necessary items: disposable diapers and wipes, a first aid kit and, of course, a favorite toy.

Finally, before you set off on your journey, don’t forget to visit a veterinarian who will confirm that your dog has no contraindications and will be able to prescribe a sedative (if necessary).
