For dogs with separation anxiety or those who aren\u2019t good travellers, the Eurotunnel is probably the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-car-safety\">Car Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You wouldn\u2019t travel in a car without a seatbelt, so why should your dog? Make sure they are secure and comfortable for the trip by installing a dog seat belt and harness, a crate or cage, or a barrier between the boot and the back seat.<\/span> For extra comfort, you can also purchase car hammocks which create a cosier space for the dog and protect your seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comfort-for-everyone-on-board\">Comfort for Everyone On Board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to consider the extra space that a dog will take up when travelling, so ensure that you know where luggage is going to go and perhaps consider purchasing a roof box if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to remember that this may be your dog\u2019s first long trip in a car. Some dogs may find this quite distressing, so ease them into it with training drives f you can. Start with a ten-minute drive and slowly build up to an hour over a couple of days to make sure they are comfortable and happy in their surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelling across France can be long and hot in the summer, even if you have an air-conditioned car. Remember to pack plenty of water for yourself and your dog. Air conditioning actually dehydrates dogs so refill water regularly. <\/span>A portable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadaffair.com\/best-portable-dog-water-bottles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dog water bottle<\/a> is a good idea for when you\u2019re on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are \u2018Aires\u2019 all along the autoroute across France<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Be sure to plan to stop every 2-3 hours and let your pet stretch their legs and get a good bit of fresh air and water. If you can, it is best to stop at an \u2018Aires de repos\u2019, which do not have any services for your car but will usually have a decent grassy area, picnic tables, places to refill water and also toilets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog gets car sick, then make sure to mention this to your vet prior to departure as they may be able to prescribe motion sickness medication for the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Start SVG for Props Slider -->\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"display: none;\">\n    <symbol id=\"icon-book\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n        <path
