5. Stop Frequently
Just as it is important for you to stretch your legs as a human, it is important to make sure your Shih Tzu uses the bathroom often, gets fresh air, and is able to walk and stretch his or her legs, especially if your pet is traveling in a crate or travel carrier.
6. Bring Possible Medication
There is always the option of using sedatives or other medications to help your dog relax and be at ease while on the road. This should always be a last resort, and you should discuss possible medications and side effects with your vet.
