Traveling with pets can be a great deal of fun. However, your pet needs to feel secure to travel happily. The tips below from our team at Northtown Subaru in Amherst can keep your pet feeling much safer and happier on the road.
Food and Drink: Try to allow breaks both for bathroom stops and time for food and drink. Humans on a road trip may enjoy a beverage from the cooler while driving, but many pets tend to avoid drinking and eating during travel. While this is not necessarily dangerous to them, it is important that you keep them cool while you're on the road.
Temperature: If your dog is riding in the back seat, make sure the AC is directed at them. If they're laying on a blanket or a bed, observe their position. A cold dog will curl up tightly, while an overheated dog may turn on their side. If they're lying on the sunny side of the vehicle or directly under the moonroof, touch their fur to make sure they're not overheating.
Enjoy your travels!
