What breed of dog is good for traveling by car?

My last dog passed away, but after a few months of mourning, I’m ready to get a new one. One of the problems with my last dog was traveling anywhere; he hated getting in the car. Are there any breeds of dogs that are good for traveling by car?

Sorry to hear about your dog that passed. It’s great to hear that you’re healing.
While some dogs hate going on rides, others seem to love it! The following breeds of dogs are good for traveling by car:
  • Labrador retriever
  • Golden retriever
  • Boston terrier
  • French bulldog
  • Chihuahua
  • Bichon Frise
  • Great Dane
Regardless of which breed you choose, remember that you still need to secure your pup properly with a harness or a
dog car seat
. This will prevent them from distracting you as you drive, as well as keep them safe in the event of an accident.
The next-best way to make sure your whole family is safe on the road is to carry adequate
car insurance
. But you don’t need to overpay to find great coverage. For affordable options, check out the
