Going on a trip and want to take your pet with you? The best experiences are lived with those we love the most and that includes our best 4-legged friends. Here are some tips to help you plan that long-awaited trip without a hitch.
- Make sure your dog or cat wears its identification tag at all times.
- Before the trip, take your pet on short trips to get them used to the car.
- Never place your pet in the trunk of the car, there is no adequate temperature or ventilation and it can cause a very negative effect on their health, including death.
- Use a special vehicle harness or a kennel suitable for their size.
- In the case of cats, they must be in the kennel at all times. If you see that your cat is very nervous, you can cover its kennel with a thin towel.
- Likewise, when taking your cat on a new trip, we recommend that you wash its transport box thoroughly, as traces of alarm pheromones from previous trips may remain, causing stress.
- In the case of dogs, stops should be made every 2 hours for them to move their legs, relieve themselves and drink water.
- We recommend that the last meal be eaten at least 6 hours before the trip to avoid nausea. In case she gets hungry during the trip, you can opt for a light snack, such as Mimma’s Bones or dry food.
- 15 days before the trip you can offer Crookies Lemon Balm, its formulation has a relaxing and de-stressing effect on your dog, perfect for these occasions.
As a last tip, think about whether it is really the best option to take your pet on a trip. To make the best decision, analyze important factors such as: age, general health, weight, or personality (is it good at adapting to changes?).
