Pet snacks for the road.....

Pack plenty of his/her regular food. You may not be able to find his/her usual brand and sudden changes in food can cause digestive upsets.

Offer your pet small amounts of water and not food o­n short trips. O­n medium length trips, feed half as much as normal and moderate amounts of water. O­n long trips, feed a normal amount in the evening when you stop and free choice water during rest stops.

A good idea is to freeze some ice in a plastic cup with a lid o­n it. This allows your pet to lick and get some water, but not drink too much.

All canned pet foods should be refrigerated after opening. Canned pet food contains meat and, like human canned foods, should be covered and refrigerated. It's recommend the opened product be used within three days.
