Keeping Cool transportation issue, need advice please!

[SesshyBooBoo]

I need to take my piggy to the vet tomorrow. Usually we take him in my boyfriend's car which has AC, however he is away for the week. My car doesn't have AC and it's going to be very hot and humid tomorrow. I don't want to seal the car like an oven but I don't want all that breeze on him either. Anyone have any advice to get him there safe and sound?

What time is your appointment? If it's fairly early morning, you should be ok.

Otherwise, put some frozen water bottles, wrapped in fleece, in the carrier, and make sure there's some air circulation in the car. Maybe you can open the vent in the front seat, and lower the back windows a little. That should give you air flow across the front and back seats.

It's at 1:30 so it'll be fairly hot by then.

@bpatters has great suggestions. I'd also make sure I place his carrier is placed where he won't get direct sunlight. If you can, keep the car parked in a shady area before you have to go so the car isn't hot inside.

Thank you for the helpful advice! Do you think the floor on the passenger side would be best or on the seat? If he's on the seats he'll be getting sunlight

I'd put him in the middle of the back seat.
