I don't have any specific tips for you...Skye is getting ready to travel with me tomorrow to FL (about 10-11 hours). She is great in and car and mostly sleeps. When I travel with the pups, I lay the seats down so they have the back and put their bed down. Skye just sleeps the whole time. We give her plenty of water at every stop (every 2-3 hours) but hold back on the food. Many outside trips is the key! Have a great time and get tons of photos!
