West Eugene Animal Hospital have recently published a guide to traveling with pets. They state that they have provided these tips to help make trips safer and more enjoyable for the whole family and the pets themselves.
The guide begins by giving general travel tips. These include making sure that pets are welcome at the destination, taking copies of the pet’s current health and rabies certificates, ensuring the pet is microchipped and wearing an identification tag and keeping up with their daily routine of feeding, sleep and exercise.
When traveling by car the veterinary experts suggest that it is advisable to place a dog in a travel kennel or restrained in someway to prevent it escaping on stops. Cats should always travel in kennels.
It is recommended that short trips should be taken in order to prepare the pet for longer journeys by car if they are not used to travel. It is also a good idea to plan several stops for exercise and bathroom breaks. The most important piece of advice provided is to never leave a pet unattended in a park car, especially on warms days. Exposure to high temperatures can be fatal.
The award winning vets advise to check with airlines for their specific pet travel guidelines before attempting to travel. It is important to purchase an appropriate travel kennel that allows them plenty of room and for air circulation. Owners should also clearly label the kennel with contact details, the words ‘live animal’ and an arrow indicating which way up it should be placed.
