I adopted my cat, Tiger, back when I was in graduate school. Well, it was more like he adopted me. I found him outside of my apartment and his fur was dirty and matted and he looked as if he had been in a fight.

I am the kind of person who can never turn my back on an animal in need. I took him in, took him to the vet, and before long was part of the family.

I am going to admit that I don’t like traveling without my pets. Even back in graduate school when I would go home for the weekend, I would take my cats with me.

Although I like having my pets with me even when I travel, there are some important things to take into consideration. That’s why I came up with this list of tips for traveling with your pets.

Tip #1: Never, never, never leave your pet in a hot car.

I don’t care how quick you will be in the store or wherever you are going. It only takes minutes for the temperature in the car to rise to a deadly level. Even opening your windows some won’t help.

Tip #2: When traveling in a car, it is probably best to keep your furry friend in a pet carrier.

Choose a carrier that gives your pet enough room to turn around comfortably. By keeping them in the carrier, it will keep your pet from being a distraction, or worse, from interfering with the pedals.

Tip #3: Take frequent potty breaks.

I’m not talking for just you either. Stop every few hours to allow your pet to use the bathroom and stretch his legs. If you have a cat, take a small shoebox lid and a bag full of cat litter. After your cat is done, you can just throw everything away.

Tip #4: Be sure to pack any essential medications.

Tiger takes daily steroid medications for his allergies. This also means that I have to be sure to take the medication wherever we go.

Tip #5: Pack food, water, and snacks.

Especially if you are taking a long trip, you will want to be sure to have some food, water, and snacks for your fur baby. Packing food for your pet can be tricky though. SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS® is ideal for traveling with pets.

These perfect snap portions are just right for your feline friends and ensure that you do not overfeed. Plus, they come individually sealed! Plus, the SHEBA® meaty tender sticks come in individual sleeves, so you can feed them one at a time to your cats.

I just toss several packages of the SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS® and the SHEBA® meaty tender sticks into my travel bag and we are good to go! Plus, SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS® come in three delicious flavors, so there is sure to have something your cat loves.

You can find SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS® as well as SHEBA® meaty tender sticks in the pet food isle of your local Walmart. Additionally, you can find out other’s tips for traveling with their pets at the SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS® website.
