Summer - time for the journey, but how about a pet?

summer pet
Before you go to your favorite on the road, prepare everything necessary, consider the entire route. Wherever you went, what you want traffic, you first need to get the cat portability (container).

Do not expect to do a simple bag or box - cat animal loving and can be free and escape. So do not regret the money, spend once and get a good, strong portability: preferably plastic with a metal door.

It was carrying, made specifically for transporting cats. Of special plastic, not flimsy, insecure creation of Turkish craftsmen (in fact, oval plastic box with two handles - a basket for breakfast). We would be advised to take carry it with metal doors, since plastic is not very reliable.

Now cats become popular carriers, made of a dense impermeable material with a zipper. They, of course, easier, comfortable, but convenient for the person rather than for cats: in the summer in their stuffy, zipper cats can open. We would recommend that such carriers kittens, but not for adult heavy animals.

On a trip you will also need veterinary documents for your cat, regardless of whether you are going to an exhibition or just a visit. To move by rail should have: a veterinary passport with the necessary vaccinations, as well as a certificate number 1 for moving to another city (it is executed in public stations to combat animal diseases, three days before departure). It is advisable not to feed the cat before the journey, though, if the road is long (more than 10 hours), you can take with them products that do not spoil on the way: dry food here is irreplaceable. Water is better to take out of the house - boiled in a glass vessel. We will advise to grab a roll of toilet paper or paper towels - to avoid possible trouble.

Traveling in car

Do not take chances, do not let the cat in the lounge car - this is very dangerous: the cat can jump out the window, get into some trouble. (For example, one cat, travel freely in the saloon car, nearly caused an accident - from some noise ... she decided to hide under the brake pedal and not in what would not get out there: the accident escaped by a miracle!).

So, the cat goes only carry, a closed metal door. And one more advice: better to carry it to sew a few covers (for the summer, winter) of dark fabric. In carrying, in a darkened space, the cat feels more relaxed. Do not leave the cat alone in the saloon car, especially in summer - the animal can get heat stroke. In the road check carefully: do not blow a cat as a cat in a cage is fixed and can easily catch cold.

Moving train

Before you sit down with your favorite cat in the train, you need to take vetreference, as well as pay for transportation of cats by rail: the order of payment and amount of payment you can know in advance at the station, on hand baggage.

So, you take care of carry and signed veterinary documents, paid the passage of a cat. To buy or not to take the road going? What we have to take necessary, it toilet and napkins, boiled water. If the road rather short, slightly better than a cat starve. The main thing - in any case do not let the cat in the train, even if you drive a coupe alone or with your friends: a cat can escape to another compartment through the ventilation grating under the window and over the top of a luggage shelf, that happened more than once.

Get cat out of carrying it is necessary only in extreme cases and be very careful. Some cats are nervous to carry, meow, scratch the door. Error inexperienced travelers - pay attention to these «whims» - your cat just waiting for this: you open the carrier, and here it is - freedom! Then put the cat back in the cage will be very difficult. Soak in nature - do not pay any attention to the cat, do not open portability: as a rule, a few minutes, a cat, reconciled with fate, silent.

It is important to the road not miss a moment when the cat is required tray.

Airplane flight

For this trip you need to know when booking tickets importantly - the rules of carriers (ie airlines) on the transport of animals. Thus, «Transaero» is not allowed to transport cats and dogs in the cabin, but only - in the cargo hold; «Aeroflot» more loyal: When buying tickets you must specify that you are flying with a cat (indicating its approximate weight).

If you fly to another country, we should find out what documents you will need veterinary (usually the same form number 1). At the airport, you must exchange your vetreference to help in the international sample quarantine (in «Sheremetyevo-2» is located in the right wing of the departure lounge). For this you need time, so keep this in mind. For flights on domestic routes, as a rule, it suffices to show vetdocuments for registration.

Unfortunately, it is necessary to pay for transportation Cats plane as excess baggage, even if your Murka - your only luggage. From our point of view, this is unfair: after all, if the weight of your luggage along with your favorite kitty not exceed the established, why should we pay? Moreover, the amount will be quite large - about 1% of the ticket price for 1 kg of weight (along with moving the cats). Some airlines limit the number of animals transported by one aircraft.

In flight, there are uncomfortable moments for both people and cats: climb, air «pits», etc. As a rule, cats are nervous at such moments. The same advice as for other modes of transport: do not open the carrier, do not get the cat!

Some pet owners ask if you can give sedatives cats before the trip. This question will answer only to the veterinarian, but the use of tranquilizers, as a rule, leads to a decrease in blood pressure, which is dangerous for the flight. With regard to customs, the cat is not subject to customs declaration (otherwise it would be stated in the customs declaration). However, you can take with your club membership card, where you are registered as the owner of a cat, with a trip to the exhibition is good to have an official invitation to the club.

Enjoy your trip!
