Transporting even a familiar animal is a significant stressor that can lead to unforeseen situations. Let alone a dog or cat that a person is seeing for the first time because they adopted it from a shelter.
The place for any pets is in the back seat. Owners of hatchbacks, station wagons, crossovers, and SUVs can even free up the cargo area for them, taking care of their comfort and safety. The rules for transporting animals in a car prohibit placing them on the front seat and especially holding them on the driver’s lap – this creates potential interference with driving and poses a risk of an accident.
It is the driver’s responsibility to try to minimize stress for the animal. You need to maintain a comfortable temperature in the cabin that the pet is accustomed to – do not subject Sphynx cats to cold, and do not torment Husky dogs with heat. You should ensure access to oxygen – if the weather outside is good, lower the side window by a couple of inches; if not, turn on the ventilation.
Dogs and cats are active animals. Under stress, they cannot remain still for long. Therefore, when transporting animals in a car, you should make stops every 1.5–2 hours. Walk your pets. Use harnesses or leashes so that they are not frightened by a passing truck and do not run away in an unfamiliar place.
If you make a forced stop, try not to leave the animal in the car. Take it with you. Cats and small dogs should be held in your arms in public places. But large dogs will need muzzles and strict collars that allow you to stop attempts to attack other people. If you have to leave the animal in the car, lower all the side windows by a couple of millimeters, ensuring air access. Try not to be away for more than 10–15 minutes. When experiencing severe stress, animals can damage the car’s interior and even harm themselves.
The animal should be fed 2–3 hours before the trip. Give it water an hour before and take it for a walk 30 minutes before so it can relieve itself. If the trip lasts less than 4–5 hours, give the pet water during stops, but do not feed it.
