Traveling with Pets
An RV is an ideal way to travel with a pet. It won’t be lonely being locked up in a strange kennel or with a friend and you’ll have your loving companion with you as your not missing your pet.
1. Try to stick to your pets regular feeding routing. Take their favorite food with you; you might be able to find it where you are going.
2. Use caution when leaving your pet unattended in a vehicle. The temperature inside a closed vehicle can climb rapidly and endanger or kill your pet. Lock all doors and open the windows slightly to provide adequate ventilation and provide your pet with plenty of cold water.
3. Have your dog wear a cllar with a securely attached identification tag at all times. The tag should list the telephone number of a friend, you home and cell phone number and your pets name.
4. Ask you vet what paperwork you need crossing state lines or over the borders into Canada and Mexico.
5. To help calm your pet, bring his favorite treats, toys and bed and food dishes or litter box.
6. When traveling with a dog, plan on making extra stops every hour or tow. Rest areas usually have areas for leashed pets.
