If your pet is not accustomed to car travel, take it for a few short rides several days before your trip to help get them used to the car. Cats should be confined to a cage or crate to allow them to feel secure and to avoid dangerous driving conditions such as having a pet under your feet while driving. Pets should not be allowed to ride with their heads outside car windows nor in the back of pickup trucks without a crate, due to risk of injury or escape. In addition, particles of dirt can enter the eyes, ears, and nose, causing injury or infection.

Stick to your regular feeding routine and give the main meal at the end of the day or when you reach your destination. Feeding dry food will be more convenient, assuming your pet readily consumes it. Dispose of unused canned food unless it can be refrigerated. Take along a plastic jug of cold water in case reliable water sources are not available. Depending on how long your trip is, give small portions of food and water and plan to stop approximately every four hours to exercise you dog. Remember to include a leash and secure collar with your pet's traveling supplies.

If you must leave your pet in a parked car, make sure it is only for a few minutes at a time.  Even if the windows of the car are open, dogs and cats can quickly die of heat exhaustion. If you must leave them for a short period of time, make sure to lock all doors, park in a shady area, and open windows wide enough to provide ventilation without enabling your pet to jump out or get its head caught. Be aware of weather conditions. You should never leave your pet in a parked car when the temperature and/or humidity are high or when temperatures are near or below freezing.

Have fun riding and make sure you listen to everything we are saying....we all want to have fun out there....
