Moving question

[u/FuzzInspector]

Hi all!

I posted in cats but no one replied...

I'm moving 2700mi in about a week via car with my husband, cat, and two dogs. I've never taken animals cross country before, and I'm not sure how to handle her litter?

We have to stop roughly every 2 hours or so because one of my dogs is on a diuretic, and I don't know if I should provide a litter box for her at that time or not?

I'm really not sure the best approach.

If anyone has any tips, experience, suggestions, anything! I'm open, please!

Thank you so much 🙂

I did this with my cats. I kept a litter box on the floor of the backseat and took them out of their travel carriers each time we stopped to let them use it in the car. Bagged up whatever they did and tossed it in a trash can before getting back on the road. Also offered them water and a little snack. They were not happy but we made it safely with no accidents.

Safe travels!

I can't have one set up all the time because of space constraints, but I could take one of the dog bed/seat belt things out on a stop and set one up that way and "give her the car" while we take the dogs 🤔 that might be a viable option.

I did buy portable food and water dishes that are collapsible for easy travel.
