How to Help a Pregnant Pet Travel Comfortably
Traveling with your pet can be fun, exciting, and highly satisfying. However, traveling with a pregnant pet is a different story. While travel restrictions for pregnant humans are pretty straight-forward, they’re more complicated for pregnant pets. While you have to take extra precautions to ensure your pregnant pet’s safety and comfort throughout the journey, you need to know that both the mother and the baby are more vulnerable during travel. Carry more food Your pregnant pet will eat more food than what is considered normal during pregnancy. This is to ensure the pet and its baby don’t end up starving or exhausted due to a lack of sufficient food. Discuss with your vet and carry an adequate amount of food to last until you reach the destination.
