Do you take your dogs for car rides?

Do you take your dogs for car rides?

No, not like going to the vets or the kennel or grooming. Like, a carride just for fun.

Sassy has arthritis and doesn't seem to enjoy walks much anymore so we decided to take her for carrides. Not daily but very often. When my sister has dance camp or something we take Sassy to go pick her up. She gets ALOT of attention from everyone. We also take her to Wawa, Wal-mart, and other places when someone is staying in the car of course. We take her anywhere close. She is REALLY good in the car to. She doesn't pee, cry, bark, and she is very curious about cars. She is sorta afraid of trucks and buses though. :p

I take Autumn to the bank where they always see her in the car and give her treats. We also go to Tom's drive in because she can get a cup of vanilla ice cream with dog treats on top. Sometimes if I'm moving my car just into or out of the driveway I'll let her in and go around the block. Autumn doesn't get too excited about the car though and is just as likely to turn down a car ride as she is to jump in.

Lady loves car rides, we can't even get by with spelling ride anymore, any mention of a ride and she's at the closet waiitng for her leash. (And waiting to play with whoever puts it on her)

The only time she doesn't like rides is if you go to the car wash. Those things EAT puppies!

Never. My dogs don't find car rides fun at all, they just get excited because they know when they're oing for a car ride that they're going to be able to run around and have fun or go visit other dogs or something. The actual ride bores Winston, Morgan & Tia and stresses Tango out.

its a big pain to load my 2 in the car, plus they both get very restless in the car, because they have figured out that if we are going in the car, we are going somewhere fun lol.. there really arent many places to take dogs around me, so they get to on short car rides to petsmart, to go hiking, the dog park and, to "aunties" (aka, doggie disneyland :p )

Yup, almost daily. I do a lot of running around and hate to drive alone, so I bring at least one pup most of the time. Both are great in the car. They have a special pillow they sleep on during car rides. =P

Back row: Cinder, Bowser, Smokey

Front row: Cali and Zig

Only one missing was da KAT!

(We were Dawg Sittin for Cali -
and she brought Zig who was being Dawg Sat at Pat & Joan & Cali's house.)

:D

It depends. Bitsy comes with us most often, usually if we're going to either my parents house or Justin's parents house.

Yes yes. Constantly. Everywhere. We are very mobile! :D

For the heck of it? No, can't afford it with gas being so darn expensive :o

Now, if I'm going somewhere like the petstore, somebody else's house, or running errands I usually take the boys. I don't even have to say anything anymore, as soon as I grab my keys they're both booking it towards the car, lol.

Here's Daisy happily awaiting mobility. :D

THAT IS A REALLY GREAT SHOT!!!

Geez, I thought this was a NO BRAINER - I thought everyone would take their dogs for a ride sometime. But I see that it's not that easy with some of the bigger and maybe less behaved guys - not to mention those who may be afraid. Bob and Ginger love to go rides - and like all/most dogs, just love to hang their head out of the window!!!

Not just to go on a ride, but I take Jasper (or Star and Wilbur) our on errands with me when I can. I love having them with me!

Of course! The Doggers love the car, and any trip is a good trip (especially when the nice girl on the drive-thru at the Tim Hortons provides treats).

I had a couple pictures of the Doggers anticipating a car ride embedded into a post in the Dogs-General forum (and yes, Maggie always makes that face).

Yes. To the vet, friend's houses, dog parks, everywhere we can take them pretty much. :)

Everywhere I can take them!! I take them with me to pick their dad up from work all the time. Jamie especially LOVES car rides!

Yes, very very often we take Frisk for car rides. Even just driving around on back roads or to the river, he comes along. My parents even bring him along when picking me up from practice. :D He goes so many places with me.
