According to the American Humane Association, one-third of American households take their dog along on family vacations. And, if your trip includes the water -- whether you’re going fishing or just enjoying a ride on the boat -- there’s never an excuse for anyone on board a boat, regardless if they have two legs or four, not to wear a life jacket.

Summer is finally here. And with the warmer months come road trips with your best buddy. But before you load up the kibble, water bowls, and toys be sure you have the proper travel gear to keep your pooch, you, and other drivers, safe on the road.
