So in 2ish months I'll be moving with a dog and my two rabbits. They will be in the A/C capable cab with us. I know to bring along a first aid kit with pedialyte, simethicone for gas, extra food, hay, water they're used to, supplies, etc.
My main question is how to transport them. They will probably be on the back-seat in a carrier and my dog will be on the other part of the back seat.
I have two small carriers for vet visits, car rides, etc. but feel they should have something larger that they have access to a litterbox and each other in. Should I use a larger plastic kennel type carrier since it has solid sides/top/bottom to keep in the mess, or go for one made for rabbits for air travel? Last time Layla was in a wire cage in the car she tried to chew on the car that she was closest to, which my bf (it's his car) will not tolerate.
I'm kind of thinking of having a medium-large dog carrier for airline travel and have attached food bowls/a water bottle, and put down dog pee pads with a litterbox, towels over the top of the pee pads, and a mini hay rack.
When I've travelled with other small animals I would provide them with carrots and lettuce to keep up their hydration, along with the occasional ice cube and then give water when stopped (every 4ish hours)
