Traveling with Pets - Season 1

Aside from making sure your pet is up-to-date on all their shots and having their medications on-hand, there are some other considerations and items that you should have packed in your RV. In this session, we will review many of those items as well as talk about some resources for getting great pet-friendly information.

A big concern many RVers with a pet face is what will happen if their pet slips its leash or runs off accidentally while they're on the road. Pet identification is an essential step when traveling with your pet. In this session, we will discuss the types of pet identification that RVers should consider using to help find your pet should they become lost.

There are a lot of people that just want their pet to sit on their lap or the front dash, but your 10-pound animal in a 50 mile-an-hour crash will become a 500-pound projectile, and that is dangerous for not only your pet but also for the people inside the RV. In this session, we will review some of the available methods of pet containment that can be used in an RV to help keep everyone safe.

Before you take your pets on the first RV trip and just throw them into the truck or in the RV and expect them to go down the road and not have anxiety or be confused, you should take some time to get them acclimated to the RV and the RV lifestyle. In this session, we will discuss some of the steps you can take before you hit the road to help ease some of the anxiety and make it more comfortable for everyone.

Another concern when traveling with your pets is food and water. You may not be able to find the same food they are accustomed to while on the road, and especially if your pet is on a special diet or has a sensitive stomach, you don't want to experiment with another type of food and experience stomach upsets while traveling. In this session, we'll talk about the various food and water considerations you should take when traveling with your pets.
