You'll find practical information as well as fun tidbits to help you better understand the pet in your life. Because your pet is a member of your family, you may enjoy taking your dog or cat with you on vacation. On the other hand, there are some pets and some trips that are better left apart. For safety's sake, have your pet wear an ID tag and bring along pictures of your pet in case he or she gets lost. Make sure you have important veterinary and vaccination records on hand in case you pet needs emergency care.
Motion sickness can be a serious problem for cats.
But make sure they have plenty of food, water and a clean litter area. If your feline friend must come along, start a few weeks ahead by taking a few short trips to get your cat used to riding in the car. With preparation, a cat can be a good traveling companion. Once you're on the road, confine your cat to a carrier that is secured to the seat by a seatbelt. This protects the cat from injury and keeps it from interfering with your driving.
