"At some point, you and your cat will need to travel. You may feel
stressed by the idea, but with a bit of effort and planning, cats can learn to
cope with the trip. Preparing your cat beforehand can make the experience less
stressful for both of you. Preparation How much preparation is needed depends largely on how you are traveling and the length of time the trip will take. Know the requirements for traveling with your cat well in advance. Most transportation companies have guidelines for cat travel including approved carriers and health requirements. When flying, make sure that your cat will be in a temperature and pressure-controlled area. Extra caution is needed with breeds like Persians and Himalayans as flat-faced cats cannot handle temperature or pressure changes easily. If your cat has shown distress during past travels, be sure to talk with your veterinarian. If a health certificate is required, your cat will need a veterinary visit. Discuss the use of medications to help your cat feel more comfortable." https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/apputil/project/... |
