5 Travel Tips to Keeping Your Pet Safe
Teach your dog car rides are good:
Get your pet geared up for a long trip by taking him on a series of short drives first, gradually lengthening time spent in the car.
Give your pet plenty of rest stops:
Stop frequently to allow your pet to exercise and eliminate. But never permit your pet to leave the car without a collar, ID tag, and leash.
What in your pet's traveling kit?
In addition to travel papers, food, bowl, leash, a waste scoop, plastic bags, grooming supplies, medication and a pet first-aid kit, pack a favorite toy or pillow to give your pet a sense of familiarity.
Don't forget the water:
When it comes to H2O, we say BYO. Opt for bottled water or tap water stored in plastic jugs. Drinking water from an area he's not used to could result in tummy upset for your pet.
What's for dinner?
Your pet's travel-feeding schedule should start with a light meal three to four hours prior to departure. Don't feed your furry friend in a moving vehicle—even if it is a long drive.
