How to Travel With a Carsick Pet

By eHow Travel Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Stop feeding your pet a few hours before she has to travel. Give her as much water as she wants.
Step 2:
Expose your pet to fresh air when you travel. Roll down a window and, if possible, allow your pet a view of the outside.
Step 3:
Medicate your pet. Make him comfortable enough to travel with a prescription from your veterinarian.
Step 4:
Take several breaks on long road trips. Allow your pet to get a drink of water or stretch her legs briefly throughout the trip.
Step 5:
Get your pet used to a carrier. Place one in your house and let your pet discover it on its own. Travel with your pet often. Start by taking small trips with your pet to get it used to the idea of being in a vehicle.

Tips & Warnings

Always travel with your cat in a carrier.
Place an identification tag on your pet. Frightened pets can run away when you open their carriers.
Bring paper towels with you for easy cleanup if your pet continues to get sick.
