Travel

Do any of you use medicine on your dogs when you travel (for anxiety or keep them from getting sick). My vet prescribes muscle relaxants and they seem to work

Everytime I take my cat for a reid to our camp, or back home (3 hr drive) he gets sick, vomits) How can I help him with this?

I've done it when I was away for a night! LOL!

Okay, so I am asking this question WAY in advance of a possible move (6months). I am considering moving from Hawai'i to Virginia, but my current dog MUST come with me. We would be flying from HI to CA, then driving cross country. My question is what … more ›

After spending a couple days apart from my "fur babies" I wondered, how often do other people take their pets along on trips? I used to bring mine everywhere but now that there's 3 it's a lot of work, and stuff, for just a couple nights!

What is the best method of moving cats? We are going to be moving this summer and I was wondering what would be the best way to bring the cats on a 5-6 hour car ride.

When we visit our grandsons, their cat resents the dog, sneaks up on her, ready to attack. I keep the dog near me, often on a leash, but everyone gets upset when they snarl and bark. So far, no blood, but I hope we can do better.

My friend has a dog of the same approximate weight and the vet just gave her childrens benedril to calm him down while flying. I've also heard from others that it is ok to give them benedril to calm them down. I don't have a lot of money so I would r… more ›
