Summer Travel Tips
Don't let a "problem" pet spoil your vacation. If you decide to take your dog along, avoid trouble before it starts by following these tips offered by Clarence C. Fawcett of the Purina Dog Care Center, St. Louis.
Unpleasantness can begin as soon as the family starts off in the car if your dog is prone to car sickness. His discomfort may be caused by both motion and static electricity, in which case, a static belt hung from the car's axle and touching the pavement may be the best "cure-all."
Your veterinarian can supply you with pills for motion sickness.
Remember that bits of dust or dirt can easily get into your dog's eyes if he's allowed to ride with his head out of the window. The wind alone can cause nasal and eye passage inflammation.
What about feeding on the road? When you feed your dog a dry food, your problem is solved. Pour out his regular feeding portion, add warm water from the tap, and mix to a crumbly texture. There's no waste to this method. "Canned food can be taken, but," warns Fawcett, "unless your dog eats exactly a can a day, you waste food."
