We take road trips all the time. Bring her crate, just in case. I always pack a little purse to keep up front with me. It has treats, a brush, food, a bottle of water, leash and harness, toys and chewys. My babies sleep in the car too. I keep her food dishes in her crate. I bring a blanket so she can sleep on my lap. I'm sure she will love it!! Have fun!
