Transporting your kitten: Tips for a calmer journey

Whether you’re bringing your new kitten home, heading to a veterinary appointment or taking a trip together, getting your kitten comfortable with travelling can help make the experience easier for everyone. 

A carrier and car ride may be unfamiliar experiences for a young kitten. By introducing them to their carrier and travel gradually, you can help them build positive associations and feel more comfortable when it’s time to hit the road. 

Our friends at Royal Canin Canada have three helpful tips to help you prepare your kitten for transportation and make each journey as calm and positive as possible.
