How to Make Traveling Easier for Your Animals
It’s important to make sure that your animals are safe and comfortable while riding in your vehicle. Ideally, you will bring extra food, water and toys to keep them happy while on a longer trip. It may also be a good idea to stop every so often to allow larger animals to stretch their legs or burn off some excess energy.
If your animal travels in a crate, it may be a good idea to cover it with a t-shirt or blanket to reduce the amount of sensory input it receives during a trip. Doing so may help the animal feel more relaxed while the car is moving.
It might be worthwhile to talk to your vet about other strategies that can be used to help make traveling easier on your pet. For example, you could give your dog or cat a mild sedative a few minutes before leaving home.
