One of the best parts of summer is getting to go on a road trip with your pet! But, before you hit the road in these hot temperatures, it’s important to know a few things about keeping your pet safe while traveling. We know you might know the basics and some of our tips may be refreshers but some might be new and will make your trip easier than ever before! Check out our travel tips below and if you have questions, we encourage you to ask your veterinarian to be sure your pet is up for making the trip! And if you’re looking to upgrade your ride to a brand new Kia, browse our available inventory today! King Kia’s Tips For Traveling With Your Pet: Never leave your pet alone in the vehicle. When traveling, plan your bathroom stops in dog-friendly places like parks or rest stops. Make sure your vehicle is ready for the trip. Whether you just stopped in to have service or it’s been some time, make sure that everything seems to be in proper working order. The last thing you need is to be dealing with a breakdown or broken AC along the way. Start early in the day. While summer temperatures are high in the mornings too, it’s a great idea to start the day early while temperatures are at their lowest. Take your pet for a walk or a little exercise while the temperatures are still bearable. Offer water often. Sometimes when traveling we forget to take a drink of water and if we’re forgetting, so is our pet. So it’s important to offer water often to ensure they are staying hydrated throughout the day. Also, grab a collapsible water bowl, they offer convenience and are easy to clean. Beware of the pavement. When temperatures are climbing, the asphalt temperature is hot as well. When you stop to hop out for a potty break or to stretch the legs, look for shady areas with grass. This will keep your pet from burning their paws. If you can’t find a grassy area, spread a towel on the ground to protect their paws while stretching or pour some water on the ground to cool it off. Watch out for signs of heat stress. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are very dangerous conditions that even our pets can suffer from. Look out for lethargy, vomiting, agitation, uncontrollable panting, foaming at the mouth, and tongue and gums that turn from red to blue to gray. And always consult your veterinarian before traveling with your pet.
