The Spring Festival is getting closer to us,

While rubbing my little hands and preparing to grab tickets to go home for the New Year,

Many parents are also worried

How can the poor dogs be brought back to their hometown?

After all, it’s the Chinese New Year,

A family must be neat and tidy~

But there are very few ways to travel long distances with your dog!

Nearly all public transportation has regulations restricting pets.

Consignment also has great limitations for small cities.

So at this time, take your dog to drive or carpool,

It is a more convenient and safe way to travel!

But for dogs who usually travel less often,

Riding in a car and going out

There may be some issues that need attention!

Today I will sort it out for you~

You can collect it in advance,

Then you won’t be in a hurry when traveling.

Necessary supplies:

Car seat belts for pets, dog food, traction ropes, flight boxes, drinking water, portable water bottles, toilet pickups, changing pads, snacks, toys, kennels, towels/blankets;

Medical supplies:

Medical records/vaccination books, scissors, bandages, medical tape, thermometer (normal body temperature of dogs/cats is 37.5-39°C), disposable gloves, tweezers, dropper/syringe;

Essential medications:

Sterile saline eyewash, chlorhexidine, purified water, hydrogen peroxide, antibiotic ointment/hemostatic powder;

Other commonly used drugs:

Such as glucose chewable tablets, which can supplement energy when TA suffers from hypoglycemia;

Multi-enzyme tablets/pepsin tablets/multivitamins can effectively help dogs with indigestion and loss of appetite regulate gastrointestinal function;

Glycerin suppository, when TA is constipated, it is very effective to squeeze it into the anus;

Phenobarbital, if TA has symptoms of epilepsy, can be taken before the attack, which can help control the condition;

Diazepam/Chloroprofen can help relieve TA’s symptoms of motion sickness.

Note: Diazepam/Chloropyrazole is a sedative and will interfere with TA's thermal regulation ability.force. Therefore, after taking it, remember to open the windows or turn on the air conditioner to keep the car cool, otherwise you may suffer from heatstroke or even death.

Reduce your dog’s diet before going out.

​If three meals are changed to two meals or no feeding is given,

Avoid vomiting symptoms caused by motion sickness;

Take your dog out for a walk before departure.

To achieve complete defecation;

If you need to feed during the journey or after arriving at the destination,

Drink water first and then eat.

1. Fasten the “pet safety belt”

In order to avoid emergency braking in unexpected situations,

Or the dog suddenly scratches,

Be sure to fasten the seat belt or put it in the flight box.

​Avoid accidents.

2. Put away the debris in the car

For dogs, any small objects in the car

will open the door to its curiosity,

In order to prevent accidental eating, biting and other problems,

Parents should consciously put away all small items before going out.

3. Turn on the child lock

Although the dog has fastened the seat belt,

But for some dogs with more flexible limbs,

Those active buttons on the car,

It may also be destroyed due to its ADHD,

Therefore, using a child safety lock is the safest method.

​For individual dogs,

Motion sickness is something that cannot be completely avoided.

High tension may occur when riding in a car.

The continuous movement of the vehicle and the noise of the engine,

may disturb them,

This causes motion sickness.

The best way we can help them

Just let them get used to staying in their own suitcases.

You can place the box in its favorite place to sleep.

Use toys and treats to familiarize him with the space.

​When the suitcase can give it a full sense of security,

Let him get used to the car step by stepspace within.

In addition,

We can try these methods,

To help it reduce the symptoms of motion sickness:

Celebrate the New Year and celebrate the holidays,

​While we are waiting for the New Year’s Eve dinner,

The dogs may be suffering from the loud sound of firecrackers.

Their hearing is much more sensitive than humans,

And I’m also afraid of fire!

So at this time,

The deafening and explosive sound of firecrackers

What a horror story for dogs!

In severe cases, it can also cause stress reactions and induce a series of symptoms.

Such as trembling, hiding, destructive behavior, urinary incontinence, drooling, etc.

Parents can use these methods to

Come help dogs fight against these terrible firecrackers:

Give the dog a quiet and comfortable environment;

Purchase soundproofing supplies in advance, such as earmuffs for pets, soundproofing materials, etc.;

If you are experiencing fireworks, you need to give the dog comforting movements instead of letting it bear it on its own;

Dogs with strong stress reactions can consult a doctor in advance and consider using sedative drugs;

Each animal’s metabolism requires different nutrients.

Their metabolic decomposition power is also different,

​Safe and delicious food for us,

When it reaches their mouths, it becomes deadly poison.

It can range from diarrhea and vomiting to epilepsy, paralysis, and even death.

​Special New Year holidays,

Everywhere is full of temptations of delicious food,

Don’t let “sharing” become your motivator!

Dangerous foods:

· Chocolate/cocoa powder/coffee/tea

· Cooked bones

· Leeks, onions, garlic

· Dairy products/milk

· Avocado (avocado)/peach and plum

·Grapes/raisins

· Fermented dough

· Xylitol

· A lot of salt (salty food)

· Nuts

· cherry

Many foods are harmful to dogs,

Even fatal!

​Including “safe” foods,

Overfeeding can also cause harm.

Never take chances.

Of course, if you can ensure that the food is cooked,

Not greasy, no added ingredients,

You can also use these foods as a special reward.

Nutritional supplement (such as dog pregnancy, postoperative).

Lean meat (cooked, no bones), apples (core removed),

Banana, watermelon (remove seeds/skin), carrot,

Cucumber slices, potatoes (peeled),

Rice, etc. are all available.

The things you should pay attention to when traveling are summarized here.

A long journey,

​Whether it is for people or dogs

will cause a lot of pressure,

I hope everyone can be fully prepared,

Come face the various emotions it may arise

​ and some special situations.

After all, they arrived and spent the Spring Festival safely,

That’s the most important thing to us~
