I have a cat that is having litterbox issues and has been using my family room as a litterbox. It's been going on for a while now, and I've realized she's going to continue to do it until the smell is completely eliminated, which is hard since the room is completely carpeted and there is no way to keep her out of there. She used to be my mom's cat, and my mom lives in New York. My mom agreed to take her back until we move there next spring (that's another thing too- we are going to be trying to sell our house so I don't need her there continually stinking it up). We live in St. Louis. What is the best way to get the cat to her (I really can't afford to hop on an airplane just to take the cat there). Can you ship a cat? How much does it cost? Thanks!

I had to ship a dog about 800 miles once and I imagine the procedure would be similar for a cat. I bought an airline-approved shipping crate for the dog, took the dog to a veterinarian for a health check and to get it sedated, took the crate to an airline freight terminal at an airport, and paid about $50 for shipping. The recipient and I had contacted the airline in advance to find a flight for which it would be convenient for me to drop the dog off and for the recipient to pick the dog up, so the dog was only out of our hands for about 5 hours total. Everything worked well. The dog acted drunk for a couple of days after the trip, presumably on account of the sedation.
With the cost of the shipping crate, the vet bill, and shipping, it wound up costing about $150 total.

Tips for taking a dog on a road trip?

I plan on taking a road trip from South Florida to New York and I'm bringing my Yorkie with me. He has been on car rides before, the longest 1 1/2 hours. All the time my yorkie rides in the back with another passenger. I don't plan on staying in a hotel, just driving straight to NY, with breaks for gas, and food. The road trip can take anywhere from 19-24 hours. What are some helpful tips I can use?
Answer
When you travel with dogs it's not unlike traveling with kids. you need to be flexible. You may have to stop when the dog needs to, not when it is convenient. That's a long time to drive and you may not be in the best of moods many hours in, which may mean you may not want to deal with you dogs needs especially if they come up often. Your dog may have an upset stomach, or just get bored being that long in a car. That can lead to a lot of barking and or whining. I have traveled with my dogs for long trips. I have enjoyed doing so a lot. But each dog if different. My Scottie was a lot of fun, he loved seeing each new place when we stopped. My standard poodle found travel nerve racking. While traveling he slept a lot due to the stress. When we stopped for the night he had to go out several times. He went out at bed time and then I think it was 2, 4, and around 6 something. Needless to say i was very tired after driving all day and those many hikes out to a grass spot in the freezing temps of December were not making me cheery. Good luck. I hope you have someone traveling with you if there is a problem. I crate my dogs for travel. This is safer for the dog, and if there is a mess to deal with then it's easy to clean up. bring lots of water, food, and old towels. Your leash and contact information on your dogs tags.
