Senior car travel
Hello community!
Looking for ideas about travelling with senior dogs in cars.
My 13 year-old cocker spaniel has come a long way from hiding and shaking and panting in the car to sitting comfortably with me on the passenger seat! Took years and now she even switches her weight based on the car movement 🥹 but I’ve been noticing that the position is starting to feel uncomfortable for her hips since she sinks in the seat a bit.
I’ve tried putting a folded towel in the deepest part of the seat but doesn’t make a difference and I also want her to be safe in case the car brakes unexpectedly. I’ve considered just switching to the back seat since she’s lying down but she gets less of the car experience that took years for her to tolerate.
Do you guys use harnesses or special seats or something else?
Pictures of my pup for reference and because why not!! Thanks
