In reply to the discussion: Anyone have any tips for car trips with a dog and a cat? [View all]SheltieLover
(71,716 posts)26. Are your fur kids microchipped with easily readable tags?
On one side of tag I put my phone number and "NEEDS MEDS"
And on the other side a huge "REWARD."
I would be really wary of letting cat loose in the car, just incase of an accident.
Make sure you have bowls and plenty of food and bottled water for your trip. Different water systems have various mineral that might affect their digestion differently.
I 2nd the idea of a sheet to cover the bed spread in the room, not only to protect the spread, but to keep gross germs off your precious fur babies. (Spreads are not washed regularly in some places...)
Happy tails and trails...
