Traveling with Your Dog
If your traveling companion has four legs, you'll want to plan ahead before you hit the road, suggests Dr. Cathy Dyer, a veterinarian at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.
Pet owners should contact their local veterinarians to see if preventive medication is needed to protect against health threats peculiar to the region they'll be visiting.
Medication might also be recommended for a carsick or overly nervous dog or cat. Dyer urges pet owners to take along their pets' vaccination records, lists of medication and health history in case they need veterinary care while away.
Pets also should be protected against temperature extremes, conditioned for long hikes and always provided with plenty of water.
