Summer Car Travel with Your Pet
Keep the Journey Fun and Safe
| | |
We can't repeat it often enough, overheating is a common and deadly hazard for pets traveling in cars.
The potential dangers of traveling with pets are getting more attention for a couple of reasons. The sluggish economy has made relatively frugal road trips more popular. Since cars tend to be more pet-friendly than some other forms of transportation, more people are taking their dogs, cats and other animals with them.
"People tend to say, 'Hey, let's take along the dog or cat,'" says Katherine Miller, an animal behaviorist with the ASPCA. But people often do not realize how stressful travel can be for animals who are not used to it, she says. The ASPCA has the following five tips to help keep the journey fun and safe for you and your pet:
Most important rule: Never leave your pet in a parked car. Even when it doesn't seem hot outside the temperature inside a car can quickly rise past 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Contrary to common assumptions, opening windows a bit for ventilation doesn't help much.
Don't allow your pet to ride with its head outside the window even though some dogs seem to love doing it. The dangers are many, from inner-ear damage to injuries from flying debris.
Keep animals secured in the car inside a ventilated animal crate or in a pet-safety harness.
Bring your own water in plastic containers. This is preferable to relying on water fountains and other unreliable sources along the way.
Avoid feeding pets in a moving vehicle. Instead feed them light meals three or so hours before hitting the road.

CSNC Reaches Milestone Sterilizations!
Last week, CSNC reached a huge milestone, performing our 10,000th spay/neuter! (Check out the recent story on Fox4 news here)
"This is definitely a cause for celebration!", says Pallas Diaz, the Clinic's Executive Director. "The more dogs and cats we sterilize, the fewer dogs and cats our community has to euthanize."
CSNC's staff and volunteers were joined by Directors of local animal shelters and rescue partner groups to celebrate the milestone at an open house event at the clinic on Wednesday, May 30th and presented gifts (courtesy of Sutherland's General Store in Naples) and goodies to number 10,000, a two year old adorable male Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie), "Teddy," and his mom, Diana Crockett. A great time was had by all!
We could not have reached this incredible milestone without you. Thank you so much for your continued support of CSNC's mission! We look forward to continuing to serve our Southwest Florida community and to the next 10,000 spay and neuters!
