Instruction
1. Take all necessary security measures. During the long travel to be necessary for you carrying for dogs. There are carryings both for small, and for large breeds. Distinguish two types of similar means of transportation: textile bags and plastic carryings. Choose carrying, suitable for a dog. Consider that your doggie has to feel in it freely. The dog needs to have an opportunity from time to time to change a pose, to see the events on the parties. If your pet of very large size, it is possible to recommend a special vest which will be regulated at it on a back. You can fasten such vest to a seat belt through a small lead.
2. If you travel on a long distance, do stops regularly. Do not forget that the animal needs to warm up, take a walk and to calm down. Do not lower a dog from a lead, she can be lost in the unfamiliar area. The pet can even escape from the owner as his behavior becomes not quite adequate because of the shock felt during the trip. However it is strong you should not worry, the majority of dogs well postpone travel and quite tolerantly belong to temporary lack of comfort. Everything depends on character of your doggie and also on his breed. Surely give to a dog enough water, but you should not overfeed her during the trip. It is not necessary to deprive of the pet of a habitual portion of a forage, give it moderate quantity of food. The nutrition has to be healthy, in advance exclude food which is hard acquired from a diet. You do not feed a dog with bones prior to a trip since they slow down digestive activity and as a result when your doggie appears in moving transport, can pull out it because of the overloaded stomach. If the dog goes to a trip for the first time, do not give to drink to her in two hours prior to food, drink provokes vomiting. Just in case prepare with yourself a towel.
3. In hot day there is a danger to receive heatstroke therefore do not leave the pet for a long time in the closed car. If a dog it is muzzled, remove it. The dog cools the organism, putting out tongue from a mouth, the muzzle will deprive of it an opportunity to be cooled during the travel. Many dogs like to lean out of a window to feel a stream of fresh air and to observe what occurs around. Do not allow the pet to be thus at a window too long, there is a risk that it will chill ears and will get otitis. Do not forget what a dog, as well as the person, can blow a draft therefore do not open all windows in the car.
4. Accustom a dog to trips from puppyish age better, otherwise the first long travel can be given her very hard. If your dog is strongly rocked to sleep by every time when you transport her, give her special motion sickness medicines. Such tablets can be got in veterinary shop. They prevent unimportant health which is caused by violation of balance during the trip. The little dog needs to give a half or even a quarter of a tablet.
5. Do not leave the pet of one in the car, he can begin to panic. If you need to leave for a while, leave together with him and tie him near the car.
