You want to make sure your pet is well nourished and hydrated before embarking on your journey with them. Since they’ll be traveling for an extended period of time, you want to make sure they eat enough so they won’t get hungry while traveling. Experts suggest limiting food two hours before leaving out if they are going to be going on a long trip.
Hydration is also important, so keep water available for your pet at all times. If you are flying you might consider freezing their water bowl so the water can slowly melt overtime for them to drink while flying. If you are driving, keep portable water bowls on deck and stop for potty breaks along the way as needed.
