Tips for Transporting or Traveling With Your Pet
What is the best way to travel with a dog in a car?
The safest way for your pet to travel is in a carrier.
Strap the carrier to the seat with a seatbelt. If your pet is in the back of your SUV or open hatchback, anchor the pet carrier. Choose a pet carrier large enough for your pet to stand up, turn around, and lie down. Always travel with your pets favourite food, a water bowl and enough water. If you need to make a pitstop, stop at fuel stations and keep your pet on a leash. Never leave your pet unattended in a hot car. Make sure there is sufficient airflow during your travel.
How to Include Your Dog in Your Easter Celebration
- Make sure your dog is on a leash and friendly to interact with other pets and people.
- Pack in all your pets favourite food and treats.
- Be careful that your dog does not eat any bones or things that might drop to the floor.
- Make sure your pet feels safe in the places you visit. Loud noises and music can cause pet anxiety.
- If there is a garden, plan a doggy treat hunt for your pet.
- Avoid feeding your pet sweets and chocolate. Sugar is not a healthy treat for pets.
