Family VacationsTraveling with Your PetsTaking Road Trips by Candyce H. Stapen
Page: So now you know how to bunk your four-pawed mate, but what about getting him or her there? Follow these stress-busting tips for you and your pet, and the destination (and the journey) will be remembered for the right reasons. • Acclimate your pets ahead of time to buses, blaring horns, and the noise of traffic. Walk your dog on well-trafficked streets. • Get your pet comfortable with long car rides by taking him for one- to two-hour drives several times before your big trip. • Stop frequently en route for walks and water. But remember: Always keep your dog on a leash and don't' allow kitties to roam. • Never leave your pets alone in the car. They get nervous and the temperature in the car rises to dangerous levels quickly in warm weather, even with the windows cracked. • Use a dog carrier or crate for small dogs. They'll be safer and feel more secure. Page: |
