hmmm,sorry i would never allow my dogs to travel that wayI need tips and advice for traveling with my 2 year old ...?
Make sure you know of reststops - this is for both you and your pet. Have a pet first aid kid in your car at all times and a blanket or comfort for him. Get a carrier that is large enough only for him to turn around in otherwise he could hurt himself. If you have a suv type vehicle that you can gate a particular section of the car, then that's not as necessary. For short trips, if your dog is trained, then use a pet seatbelt. Make sure you have solid containers for food and water as well as foldable containers mean for easy use and travel. Make sure you have an appropriate amount of food and water and treats present for him for the entire duration of the trip. If you're dog is nervous, then consult a vet and they may or may not prescribe a few simple cures such as sleeping pills. If you're dog is carsick, then you can also seek your vet for antimotion pills too. Make sure before you go on a long trip you get a check up from the vet and make sure he's up to date on all his shots and is able to travel. Plan for break times for both a bit of exercise (let him walk around a bit to stretch his muscles out) and use the bathroom every couple of hours. Make sure you keep a contact of your vets as well as emergency vet clinics for the areas you'll be travelling to for safety sake. I think that's most of the basics.
what do u mean he is in cargo? the cargo area of the plane? If there is any other option ,I would fully explore that. make sure what the weather is for every leg of the trip, what if there's a delay and u think u get hot in the cabin?? consider how this could affect his health.
if u mean the cargo of your SUV or van, consider a crate for safety AND plan frquent stops to go potty and get a small drink frequently instead of one huge drink, espec if he gets carsick. Allow extra hours into your driving schedule for this.
I would research on the web and ASK my VET for suggestions.
