This summer, millions of Americans will be hitting the roads to spend time with friends and family, vacationing in cities and national parks, and many will be bringing their companion animals with them. It turns out that more than 70 percent of us go on vacation or travel with our pets on a regular basis. And while pet-friendly hotels and a wide range of supplies make traveling with pets easier, it still requires planning. Should I Bring My Pet? Remember that some pets are not too comfortable with traveling. So before you bring your 'best friend' with you, go through the following checklist first: • Is traveling safe for my pet? Honestly evaluate your animal's health and his ability to travel. • Is my pet used to traveling? If your dog runs and hides when you open the car door, consider hiring a pet sitter and leaving him at home. • Is this trip 'pet-appropriate'? Some destinations just are not pet-friendly. After going through the questions, and you feel the trip will be good for your pet, or if the trip is a must because you are relocating, it's important to plan and minimize the risk to your 'best friend'. • Do Your Homework If your pet's only experience in a car has been a trip to the vet, you will want to acclimate him to riding in the car a few weeks before your trip. Start with short trips, such as 5 or 10 minute drives. And always remember to end the trip with a positive reward, such as a special treat or fun activity. Slowly lengthen the trips to 30 minutes or one hour. • Safety on the Road We fasten our seatbelts, so why not our pets? For your animal's safety, always restrain him when traveling. A variety of restraints are available that offer added mobility and provide an option to the traditional metal travel crate. Think safety harnesses that can attach to any seatbelt, or even safety gates that will allow your pet some mobility in their own space, as you travel. If you do need crates for example, for the smaller animals such as your cats, make sure they are well ventilated. RV's offer pet-owners more freedom and interaction with their animals, but it's still important to pet-proof these rolling homes. All objects, including food and medicine, should be properly stowed, and all closet and cabinet doors should be securely closed. To avoid injury to loose animals during sudden stops and turns, block off small areas with baby gates. No matter what type of vehicle you drive, you will need to stop every few hours for a pet pit stop. Also make sure your pets have their leash as you open your vehicle's doors when you go for these pit stops. • Bring a Pet Travel Kit Always pack a separate bag for your pet. To avoid an upset stomach, take some of his favorite food, as well as a gallon of water because water characteristics change regionally. Cats can generally travel up to 10 hours without having to use a litterbox, but it never hurts to bring along a disposable litterbox for emergencies or overnight stops. A pet first-aid kit is a must, in case of accidents. Also bring a favorite toy or object that you feel will make your pet more relaxed as he travels to new surroundings. Keep a current health certificate for your pet handy during interstate travel, because many states require one.
