Select a Schipperke Dog as a Pet

Use a crate that is well-ventilated to keep your schipperke secure while in the car. If he is not crate trained, get him used to the idea for short periods of time at home.

Pack your schipperke's favorite toy or blanket so that he feels more comfortable with an object that is familiar to him.

Make a few practice runs of shorter duration with your dog so that he gets used to being in the car.

Take water from home or bottled water for your dog. Just like humans, dogs can suffer from stomach upset by drinking unfamiliar water.

Travel with food for your dog, but do not feed him in the car. Water will be sufficient to sustain him until you reach your destination.

Make sure your schipperke has a tag on his collar with your contact information including your home address, cell phone number and his name.

Walk and stretch your legs as well as your dogs on a regular basis. Always have your dog on a leash whenever he is outside of the car.
