Many people travel with pets in a private car. However, before the trip, a number of important factors need to be taken into account.
Firstly, the animal needs to get used to such travel from an early age, so that it can adapt quickly and better.
In hot weather, it is necessary to ensure a comfortable temperature inside the car cabin and provide ventilation.
During the trip, it is desirable to stop every few hours. The diet also needs to be taken into account.
Before the trip, the pet should be given only one-third of the normal amount of food, and it is better not to feed them at all several hours before the trip.
If the animal is prone to nausea, it is possible to visit a veterinarian 30 minutes before the trip and administer an injection of an anti-nausea drug. Sedatives for pets can also be used.
Experts recommend transporting small breed pets in a carrier. Larger dogs should be secured with a safety belt in the cabin using a harness or placed in the trunk (only if combined with the interior of the car).
If desired, the owner can also purchase a special summer hammock designed for transporting pets.
If you decide to stop, experts advise not to leave pets in the car cabin with closed windows.
