Thinking about taking Fido on this summer’s big trip? Here are some ideas for stress-free travel with your pet from One Stop Motors, the premier online source for motorized pre-owned vehicles.
Crate expectations: Whether traveling by air or car, a familiar cage or crate will relax your dog. Make sure to never put on a leash in the cage.
Hello gorgeous: Brushing your dog and clipping its nails before you leave will make traveling more comfortable.
Make a Doggy Check List: Bring water, fido’s favorite snacks and food, bedding supplies, toys, dishes, pet first-aid kit and old sheets just in case the furniture needs to be covered.
Attention to Detail: Identify your dog with a current tag or microchip. Carry current health and rabies certificates and a recent photo.
Stair hazard: Did you know that a dog’s claws and fur can get caught in escalators? Pick up or crate your dog, or take the elevator.
No tranquilizers: According to the ASPCA, sedatives can interfere with balance and can hamper breathing. Alternatives such as Missing You are available and will relax your dog without dizziness or drowsiness.
Chow time: Fido should have a meal 3-4 hours before leaving. A dog should never be fed while the RV is in motion to avoid nausea and potential accidents.
Open wide: Do a health check every day you’re away from home, says the American Veterinary Medical Association. Look for runny nose and eyes, scratching or biting, lumps, limping or loss of appetite. Check any concerns with a local veterinarian.
Hopefully these tips will make your trip more enjoyable for everyone. If you are in the market to either buy or sell a used recreational vehicle, One Stop Motors is America’s number one choice.
