The wrong kinds of food can cause dental distress in pets. Feeding your dog some dry food in conjunction with cooked buckets will, through its mild abrasive action on the teeth, help remove the bacterial plaque that can harden into tartar. Dry food also provides adequate chewing exercise and gum stimulation. Avoid giving your pet sweets and table scraps as they may also increase plaque and tartar formation. Dogs need to have their teeth brushed in order to eliminate the dental plaque that can cause tooth decay and tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease. You should begin a regular, brushing routine when your puppy is between six and eight weeks of age. Even older dogs can be trained to accept having their teeth brushed. You simply need to introduce the activity gradually and make the experience a positive one for your pet. Reward them with a special treat when it's finished.

• If your pet is not used to being in a car, take him/her for a few short rides before your trip.
• Pets should NEVER be allowed to put their heads outside the window when riding in a car. Dirt particles can cause injury or infections and cold air taken into the lungs can lead to illness.
• If you're taking a long drive plan 'snacks', exercise and rest stops about every two hours.
• Give the main meal at the end of the day. Dry food is more convenient but if your pet needs fresh food, dispose of any unused portions if they cannot be refrigerated.
• It is not recommended to leave your pet in a parked car for a prolonged period of time. If you must leave your pet in a parked car, lock all doors and open windows enough to provide good ventilation, without allowing them enough room to jump out or get their head caught. Remember, on hot days, the temperature in a parked car can rise to dangerous levels in just minutes and your pet could die of heat stroke
