Going for the first time on a long journey by car with a four-legged friend, it would be good to know how the transportation of dogs in the car is organized. Because not all animals feel comfortable on the trip and can cause trouble for the owner.
Instructions
Step 1
An important point is the nutrition of the dog before the trip, for a better digestion of food it is fed for several days with light food: cottage cheese, meat porridge, fish. Bones and dry food are completely excluded.
Step 2
On the day of the trip, the animal is not fed at all and water is limited. This will reduce the risk of vomiting. Dogs that are very sensitive to motion sickness should be given an antiemetic medicine (Aeron, Kinedryl) before the trip.
Step 3
In the car, you must have a towel on hand to remove saliva from the dog. To prevent the animal from staining the interior with vomit, a cellophane bag is kept at the ready.
Step 4
Transportation of dogs is advisable only in the back seat, since some animals have an unstable psyche and can provoke an emergency situation with a sudden movement. To provide the necessary assistance in case of vomiting, it is advisable to put someone from the household next to the dog.
Step 5
To prevent the dog from being very hot, it is imperative to open the car windows on one side to avoid draft, but so that the animal cannot stick its head.
Step 6
In order for the dog to feel comfortable in the car during the entire trip, provide him with enough space in the cabin, never on the floor, where the vibration of the car is felt especially strongly.
Step 7
Stop every 2 hours and allow the dog to empty the bladder. This should be done on a leash so that the pet does not run out onto the road with passing cars.
Step 8
When transporting a dog, monitor the temperature in the car, animals do not tolerate stuffiness and can get heatstroke. You can't put on a muzzle, it interferes with sticking out your tongue when it's hot.
Step 9
To be able to transport dogs without problems, they are taught to travel in transport from a puppy age.
