If your dog hates car rides and it’s a big stress, just crank up the music.
Researchers say two in three pet owners say their doggo gets stressed while traveling. With 75-percent of people taking a staycation with Fido, that could be a problem. Luckily, senior lecturer of music at the University of West London, Sam Sutton, has thrown together the perfect playlist for a Rover road trip.
