Tips for Taking Pets When Travelling in Your Motorhome

  • Written by NewsServices.com

Hitting the open roads in your RV gives you the comfort of a homely feeling alongside a satisfying thrill of adventure- there could be no better feeling, except, of course, when you take your pets along.

Many people will be very excited to take their pets with them on a motorhome ride, but it might not be the best option for some pet owners.

The statistics of people who own a motorhome in Australia have been on the rise in recent years. According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, an increasing number of Australian households in the country are motorhome owners. This figure has sharply risen since the year 2000.

Indeed, RVing with your pets is a great idea, but there are some things to consider before hitting the road. Traveling with animals require special considerations, and doing so in an RV is no different.

Greater responsibilities

You may have to make some changes to your routine and take on more responsibilities than usual when traveling with your pet. Your motorhome may also require some changes to accommodate your pet.

Another thing to remember is that not all pets are suited for the open road. While dogs and cats can quickly adapt, some other animals are likely to require much more particular attention, which you may not be able to provide while driving across the country.

Guarantee the best experience for your pets

However, most pet owners consider the experience they often get from traveling with their pets worth all the extra work, especially when they are guided by adequate information, and have taken every necessary precaution to make the journey stress-free.

Perhaps you are already wondering about the things you should do before taking your pet on an motorhome trip. Not to worry anymore, this article will highlight some tips to help you.

Below are tips on easing the stress that comes with RVing with your pets.

Research: every complicated situation is made easier with sufficient research. Before taking your pets with you, the first thing you need to do is research as much as possible. The requirements for your pets as well as the requirements by the parks.

For example, some breeds of dogs are not welcomed at certain campsites. Proper research will reveal this to you and save you from trouble with law enforcement agencies.

Extra supplies: there are certain items pet owners can never have too much of. Items such as food, water, and bowls. You will like to double-check to ensure you have these items in your RV and even extra where possible. Consider practical items like a spill proof cat water bowl or food dishes that can catch messes. 

You will require a litter that will often be changed if you are a cat owner and waste pickup bags when you walk your dog.

Medication: if your pet is on medication, you will best ensure to pack as much of the specified medication as possible. It is also advisable to maintain these medications in their original containers and pay detailed attention to precise temperature requirements.

You do not want to risk the medication going bad while on transit. Also, having a first aid kit around will come in handy.

Current tag: in case your pet wanders, you should not only have a tag on your pet, but you should ensure that the tag is current with up-to-date contact information so you can be reached easily.

Most importantly, call ahead and make preparations for the journey early.
