And it is that, far away would not pass it as well as being cared for by their owners. Here we bring you some recommendations so that traveling is a pleasant experience for all.
Travelling with Pets
1- Before starting the trip, it is advisable to visit the veterinarian to evaluate if it is necessary to provide a mild sedative so that your pet is calmer. You should not shout inside the motorhome and the music should be at low volume.
2-Never forget to bring your trough and drinker. Buy enough food in advance to avoid having to buy a different food during the trip. This way you will avoid changing your pet’s diet and will not notice so many sudden changes. Also try to bring enough candy that is made especially for them, this will help keep them entertained and reduce the stress that the trip may cause.
3-If you plan to take your birds, they should go on a large transporter, comfortable and well secured with a safety device. Make sure that the motorhome is well ventilated and that the birds have water, sufficient food and a clean space.
4-In the case traveling with cats will not be a problem for them, if you get used to them from childhood to that life of adventures, they are very good companions. If you are already an adult and have never traveled, keep it tied with a harness at the beginning, after a while of adaptation to the movement of the motorhome and to the noises, you can let go and observe your reaction. It is important that you understand that you will not leave him alone in that new space. Make him play, distract him with mimes, with his toys and why not, with a little of his favorite food as a reward for his good behavior!
5-Stops must be made for the animals to drink water, take advantage of this time to relax, go out to exercise their feet and relieve themselves. In the case of birds they can be removed with the transporter to catch sun and fresh air.
6-You must travel with a pet first aid kit, vaccination records and identification plate with the owner’s phone number. It is also a good idea to include the data of your vehicle on the license plate, for further assistance in the event that your friend is lost. This information may be required at the camping sites where pets are allowed or at customs and border crossings, in the event that you plan to leave the motorhome country. It is recommended to take advice on the pertinent customs procedures, requirements and additional mandatory documentation.
