Are you taking pets on your trip? We are too! We are traveling with one little dog, two guinea pigs and 2 parakeets so it will be a full truck 😀.
Lucy is going to ride between me and my brother in the back seat. Over time she has become more comfortable in the truck and is able to sleep in the truck. If possible take your dog for rides when you can so they can get comfortable.
Pickles and Sppahire the parakeets are going to be riding at my brother's feet. We had to put then in the smaller cage. But we made sure we had enough room to put the food, water and a toy or two in there.
We packed enough food for a week, plus many extra days for each animal. We sealed each type of food in a sandwich or gallon bag or kept it in there normal bag. But make sure the bags are sealed, it will prevent it from spilling and making a huge mess and it from becoming stale.
For the dog, we packed her leash, toys (not pictured) treats and lots of food. Make sure you have the dogs collar on at all times and make sure you stop throughout the day and let them go to the bathroom. You can let them out with a leash on at each gas station and stop you take.
Tea and Crumpets my guinea pigs are also going to be riding by my feet, they are staying in a smaller crate, with there water bottle, food, hay, pillows and a few chew toys. To keep them form panicking on the drive, make sure you don't play your music to loud, make sure the temperature is just right for them and make sure they are secure and there temporary home dosent shake around. Personally I pet them which makes them calm down a lot.
Traveling with pets can be stressful, so make sure you have everything you need to make them feel comfortable.
