travel across country with cat, dogs and bird…?
I will be moving from California to Florida….how do we travel with 2 small dogs (Cocker and Chinese Crested), A cat, and a cockatail? we will have 3 cars …going….
My cat ALWAYS ALWAYS poops in his crate…
The cocker is a crazy puppy.. (6months)
the Crested will not be a problem (She travels great)
The bird is 15 years old…(not sure how he will travel)
Suggestions…beyond the norm of crate rules, hotels and potty stops. What can be done to help with the stress? I already googled this question and have read some answers…but i want to hear from people who have done this successfully.
Although the distances are not the same, I used to travel with two dogs, two cats and two cockateils from London to Northumberland regularly.
You might find there isn’t much stress involved – they’re so adaptable!
My cats were quite happy in their carrier – I let them have the run of the car when I had a rest stop. The dogs were easy – I just played ball with them til they were tired at the rest stops – then they just slept the rest of the way! The birds seemed to enjoy looking out of the window – i had to make sure their cage was very secure, and I covered them with a blanket at night.
Hope that helps. If the dogs were to get car sick it may be a problem – your vet can maybe give you tablets. And I found that in the beginning, the cats sicked up when I first set off – but they got used to it. Maybe a few short trial runs would be helpful?
