Introduce the carrier at home before the trip so your cat becomes familiar with it. Many owners looking to help their cat feel more comfortable bring a blanket or a cat toy with a familiar scent. Cat Feliway and care products such as Pet Remedy or Cat Calming Treatment are also popular options among owners of anxious pets. If you’re unsure if these are the right options for your pet, consult with your vet for personalised advice.
