“Travelling
is a fun and if it is with your pet then it will be great fun.”
It is better to take your pets
for car riding sometimes. It increases your bonds with them and also helps in
socializing them. I personally think it is not good to leave them alone in
home. We regularly go for outing with our pets. They like it very much, more
than us. They enjoy the breeze on their face and try to scan all the outside
views. They behave like humane. Our two pooches Sammy & Muffin always take
their sides to enjoy.

Dogs use to be frightened in the car if not trained properly. Hence, it is good to give them ride in the car as early as possible.
How to encourage them to go in the car:
- Don’t force them to move in the car.
- Don’t even pick in lap and placed in the car even if it is pup. Better to provide ramp.
- Encourage them to go in by themselves.
- Praise & Give some treat whenever they go inside the car.
- It may be stressful for them in moving car. Talk to them & show affection.
Care taken during traveling with car: They
should be properly fastened with leash or body harness. It will help him not be
impacted on you or on windshield during sudden break. There is also some attachment
available for pet in the market.

Long Journey With pets: “PAWFECT WEEKEND”
Weekends are very much special
for us and our pooches. We get to spend happy time together. On weekends we go
to our parents place or some other place. They live far from our place. We also take our pet along with us. Excitement
builds up amongst them right through the week when they see that their knapsack
getting loaded with their apparels treats, medication, toy & finally the
food. To take pets for a long journey is not easy. They required utmost care.
Anyway, with considering required care, the journey may become memorable. When
we are taking our pets first time with us one of them was just 2 month old. We
created a cabin for them by folding the seat. We put their crate so that they
feel as they are in home. Put their toys
too. In the whole journey they enjoyed
like anything. Sometimes they played with their toys, sometimes dangle out of
the car window and rest most of the journey until they reach their favorite
destination. Since pooches are like young child always, care must be taken.
Tips:
- Create home environment within car.
- Put their toys & favorite things.
- They need to be relieved at every 3-4 hours run.
- They should be on leash or body harness.
- Food may be light as they may be under stress during journey.
- Basic medicine should always be with you.
- Contact details of your vet should be with you for any consultation.
If you are careful for them. Then
your each and every journey will be memorable.
