If you are traveling with an animal, it is important that it feels safe and secure while in your vehicle. This may be done by covering hot or cold surfaces with a towel or cloth to ensure that your pet doesn’t make contact with them.
Furthermore, be sure that your cat or dog has access to food and water regardless of how long it might take to get to the beach or the park. If you are going to be traveling for several hours, be sure to schedule frequent rest breaks.
Doing so can provide your animal with an opportunity to get fresh air, take a big drink of water and go to the bathroom. In many cases, this can be enough to turn an anxious animal into a content companion. Generally speaking, a car ride is much easier when your pet is in a good mood.
