Summer Holiday Travelling Tips

(Southern Hemisphere)

The Christmas holidays are upon us and this often means leaving our beloved pets behind in a kennel or cattery or in
the care of a pet feeder or neighbour.
If your pet is really part of the family, a growing range of accommodation facilities
permits you to take your pet with you.

Some tips for travelling with your pet by car:
It is safer for you and your pet if he or she is confined to a cage or crate while en-route. A boot separation device is
better for all concerned.
Make sure you secure carriers with a seat belt or bungee cord.
Do not allow dogs to hang out the window – it’s dangerous and may cause head, neck and eye injuries as well as
airborne infections.
For dogs, make pit stops at least every two hours for exercise.
Give only half normal food in the morning and feed the remainder when you reach your destination.
Carry fresh cold water and a drinking bowl.
Do not leave your pet in a hot vehicle. Remember, shade moves.
Keep your leash handy and use care when opening doors in heavy traffic areas.
Be aware of your dog’s behaviour when left alone – barking and whining cause stress both to the animal and passers by.
If the weather is warm use your vehicle’s air conditioning.
Always make sure that air is being circulated frequently.
Pack a sturdy leash and well fitted collar with identification tag carrying your phone number.
Pack waste removal bags and a litter tray and litter for cats.
Pack some of your pet’s bedding and favourite toys.
Pack a Pet First Aid kit, which you can purchase from your local vet. It should contain at least:
Tweezers for removing foreign objects from fur or paws,
Cotton swabs for cleaning wounds,
Antibacterial wash, Telfa pads, Wide crepe bandage, Gloves, Scissors, Vet clinic

Phone numbers for your regular vet and the nearest vet while on holiday.

Noah Update 3


Image by Bruce McKay~YSP
Noah’s wound was healing nicely until his drunk owner let him off let him off the lead before leg was totally healed. The idiot was on a weekend binge and then comes over and lets dog off. So much for pet care. It pisses me off but then felt better when Noah came back to my house and laid down and waited for food. So he is on lead again and owner got a lecture.
