| Tips for Traveling with Your Pet this Summer |
| When going places in the summer time, it is nice to let our pets tag along and experience new places. But animals can get a bit uncomfortable with being outside of their own home environment. To ensure an enjoyable and memorable trip, follow these tips according to one Washington TV news station. • Buckle up for safety is the first step for everyone in your car including your animal companion. Smaller dogs and cats are often more comfortable in pet carriers (crates). Carriers provide security and can easily be secured by a seat belt. • If you have an older pet, it’s worth setting aside extra time for safely entering and exiting the car. Older pets with joint pain often have difficulties climbing in and out of vehicles. So be patient with them and willing to give them a boost up if need be. • Food, Water and Exercise: If your pet isn’t accustomed to car travel, do not feed him for 6 – 7 hours before the ride. Stick with your regular diet, giving his main meal at the end of the day’s road trip. Stop every two hours to provide water and exercise. • Certification and Identification: Carry proof that your dog or cat is current on all vaccinations, including rabies. If traveling over state lines, you will need a health certificate from your veterinarian issued within 10 days of traveling. Make sure your dog or cat has current ID tags with a telephone number where you can be reached. Other Helpful Hints: • Pack your pet’s leash (even for cats), food and water bowls, favorite toys, a piece of bedding from home and any vitamins and supplements your furry family member requires. • NEVER let your pet’s head extend outside the car window. Particles of dirt can penetrate the eyes, ears and nose, causing injury or infections. • Be sure to always park your car in a shaded area to keep the car cool. NEVER leave your pet alone inside a car, even for a few minutes. • Plan ahead and don’t make the family vacation your pet’s first car ride! Plan ahead where to stop and where to stay. Information on pet-friendly establishments can easily be found in bookstores or online at sites like www.petswelcome.com. The key to a memorable road trip with your pet lies in getting your dog or cat ready for travel and preparing for the ups and downs ahead of time! |
