Dear Max,
I will be traveling this holiday season and want to take my dog along for the trip, my parents have yet to meet their newest "granimal." Do you have any tips for making the trip a smooth one for my dog?

Dear Betsey,
Woof, car rides are my favorite! But I'm assuming this ride wont be a short one with the windows down so your dog can bark at traffic... not that I do that or anything. Check out this article for tips on traveling with your dog and I hope you and your four legged co-pilot have a safe and fun trip!

Max's Mini-Reviews
CHARMING PET BALLOON TOYS : These toys are so much fun! They look like balloon animals but they sure won't pop at first bite. These squeaker toys are my new favorite thing to play fetch with.
JORVET T-SHAPED UNDERCOAT RAKE : It's no secret that I love a good grooming session. I could get brushed for hours but since I'm a long haired handsome dude sometimes all that grooming still doesn't do the trick. But my humans just discovered this undercoat rake which really gets the job done. All the dogs in the neighborhood are going to be jealous of my long luxurious locks.

DOG FACT
Dog nose prints are as unique as human finger prints and can be used to identify them.
"Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear."
