Travelling In Car On A Hot Day

[piggie smitten]

Hi all, my boar Bubble is going for a ten week check up on his teeth on wednesday at the Cat and rabbit clinic in Northampton. Its about a two and a half hour drive each way. I'm a bit worried as they say its going to be about 20 C on Wednesday and humid. Any tips on how I can make sure he doesn't get too hot? My air cons not working and I'm worried if I have the windows open it will be too noisy/drafty for him. Did think about freezing a small water bottle and wrapping it in a towel and will stop when I can to check on him and give him some water. Any ideas/ reassurance much appreciated.

The freezing of a bottle sounds good. I'd still open your windows a bit as I'm sure a little breeze would be welcomed.

I'd give some cucumber to eat on the journey too. Nice and refreshing with lots of water content. X

Thanks for your reply. As it turns out today was quite grey and miserable so it didn't get too hot in the car. We haven't got to go back for 12 weeks so shouldn't be too hot by then!
