Pet anxiety during car rides or travel is extremely common. But with the right planning, the experience can be smooth and joyful for both of you. Start by choosing a roomy, breathable carrier to help your pet feel secure. Add their favorite toy or a soft blanket that smells like home. Avoid feeding right before travel - it prevents nausea. Put on calming music, speak softly, and take short breaks during long rides. Most importantly, stay calm yourself. Pets sense your energy. If you’re relaxed, they’ll naturally feel safer.
