Our Chinese Cresteds
Although the distances are not the same, I used to travel with two dogs, two cats and two cockateils from London to Northumberland regularly.
You might find there isn’t much stress involved – they’re so adaptable!
My cats were quite happy in their carrier – I let them have the run of the car when I had a rest stop. The dogs were easy – I just played ball with them til they were tired at the rest stops – then they just slept the rest of the way! The birds seemed to enjoy looking out of the window – i had to make sure their cage was very secure, and I covered them with a blanket at night.
Hope that helps. If the dogs were to get car sick it may be a problem – your vet can maybe give you tablets. And I found that in the beginning, the cats sicked up when I first set off – but they got used to it. Maybe a few short trial runs would be helpful?
