Pets on Car Travel

Keeping your pets safe is very important consideration whether you are going around the block or across the country. You should place your pets in a well- ventilated crate or carrier. And make sure that this cage or carrier is large enough for your pet to stand up, sit, lie and turn around in. Keep also in mind to not allow your pet to ride with his head outside the window because this can subject him to inner ear damage and lung infections, and he could be injured by flying objects. Never feed your furry friend in a moving vehicle, even if it’s a long drive. And always carry a gallon thermos of cold water, or bring along a two-liter plastic bottle of water that you’ve frozen the night before.
