While on the highway, Dr. Cindy advises that you feed your pet smaller amounts of food, but on a more frequent basis. This keeps your pet from overloading and becoming sick. Take along your pet s own food supply from home, and stop at a grocery store along your travel route to replenish your pet food supply when necessary. When all else fails, you may be forced to stop at a drive-through window to get your pet some fast food. Remember, too, that pets need water lots of water.
Some pets also can become sensitive to changes in the water they drink.
If this is true with your pet, take along water from home. A pet is an important part of the family, says Dr. Cindy. Give your animal special care to ensure a healthy, safe trip. On the road, she says, be as considerate of your pet as you are at home. Use common sense, she adds.
