Pet Health & Safety > How To Plan a Vacation With Your Pet
If your pet is in good condition and doesn't mind riding in the car, you can safely take it on your family vacation. Here are some tips for the road:
* Your pet needs to be secured in the car, either by someone holding it, or in a pet carrier. Never allow your pet to ride with it's head out the window.
* Don't ever leave a pet unattended in a vehicle. It can suffer heat stroke in a matter of minutes. If you have to leave, be sure and leave the windows down, or better yet, tie the animal to a nearby tree in the shade, but within your sight.
* Feed your pet a light meal several hours before riding. This will help alleviate any car sickness. Take along a cooler containing ice chips to feed your pet, to eliminate the need for big drinks, but still keeping it hydrated. Be sure and take paper towels in case your pet does become car sick. Remember, they're not used to the motion of cars like humans.
* Stop frequently for exercise, being careful not to allow your pet to run free.
* Don't forget your pet's dishes, bedding, leash, and most importantly, a pet ID tag, with your current address and phone number.
* Have your pet examined by your veterinarian before going on a long trip, or out of the country. You'll probably need proof of current vaccinations before an international trip.
* If you're planning on flying with your pet, be sure to have the right size carrier, or make accommodations for your pet to travel in an under-the-seat carrier. Long distance air travel can be difficult for a pet, particularly in an unheated or unpressurized baggage compartment. Pay attention to the time of year, as federal regulations prohibit the 'cargo' shipment of animals when the temperature is above 80 degrees or below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Check with your vet for a tranquilizer for your pet to ward off any negative reactions to the travel.
* Finally, check with your accommodations to make sure they accept pets. AAA can give you a list of hotels that allow pets. Don't leave a barking dog alone in your hotel. If you must leave, put the pet in it's carrier and notify the housekeeping staff.
