Travelling With Your Dog What You Must Know

It is not always possible to travel with our pets, but when we do travel with them, there are some key considerations to keep in mind. Going to new places with our furry friends can be a lot of fun, but one must make preparations in advance.

We need to factor in the needs of our canine companion, who has very little idea what travelling can be like. For them, it can be a strange or unfamiliar terrain, but reaching our destination while our furry friend is still with us can be a rewarding experience. The following things can be kept in mind while travelling with your pet.

By Car

Before you start your journey, you should ensure that your dog is not fed too much. It is also important to be considerate towards the dog and not drive too fast as this could give him motion sickness or tremors. Like humans, dogs can feel stomach-sickness in a moving car. Half an hour before taking him in the car, you should give him a medicine for motion sickness. Consult the vet about what medicine to give. The vet will prescribe the medicine depending on the size and the weight of your dog.

Dogs mostly stay at home and don’t travel a lot. The only time they get into the car is to go to the vet and start associating cars with vet visits. Make them believe that they are not going to the vet and occasionally take them out for drives or to parks.
