Remember a few of our Tips for traveling with your pets by car:
1. ½ A Breakfast. Prep your pet for the car ride by halving his typical morning meal.
2. Manicure. It’s important to clip your pet’s nails so as not to damage car seats or furniture in your destination’s hotel.
3. Current Address. Confirm your pet’s ID tags are up to date with your current contact information before you depart.
4. Ice, Ice, Puppy. During the ride, provide your pet with a block of ice to keep them hydrated. Water spills easily, and small ice cubes may prove to be a choking hazard.
5. Bathroom Breaks. Take a rest stop break about every hour and a half so your pet can stretch their legs and relieve themselves.
6. Keep the Family Together. Never, under any circumstances, leave a pet in a vehicle unattended. Not only could your pet be the victim of theft, but temperatures change quickly in direct sun (even with the windows cracked open – the shadows move!), or in the cold.
7. Flashlight! Taking your dog out for a night time romp in new surroundings may be difficult, bring a flashlight to keep track of where you’re going!
