When traveling by car, think first of all animal safety. A dog or a cat do not leave in the car. There are a number of ways to secure them while driving, from straps to various crates. By purchasing them, you will also avoid the fines that you would face without them in the event of a roadside inspection.

Water and breaks
If you know it’s going to be hot on the day of your trip, head out if possible in the early morning, or conversely in the evening, when the temperatures are not so extreme. Make sure the vacation destination welcomes your four-legged friend with open arms. See if he can go to the beach in the given place, and find out the contacts of the nearest veterinary clinic. Plan your route thoroughly and have it with you plenty of fresh water. Think about regular breaksduring which the animal will be able to drink, run and go outside.
Do not feed while driving
Animals would she should not have traveled with a full stomach. “Not a dog or a cat do not feed either shortly before the journey or during the journey. Your pet should receive the last feed no later than one hour before the startideally smaller amountwhich won’t burden his stomach so much,” explained Mountfield product manager Radek Hanzlík, adding that this would prevent possible nausea.
