TIPS WHEN TRAVELING WITH PETS

Traveling with a pet is a rewarding experience, yet it is important to keep in mind that a little preparation can go a long way toward keeping animals comfortable on the road.

In addition to searching for pet-friendly lodging and transportation options, pet owners will want to plan ahead for their animal’s potential needs.

Whether a person is traveling by train, plane or automobile, these tips will cover everything necessary to ensure smooth travels with one’s animal companion.

CONSULT WITH THE VETERINARIAN

One of the first stops before embarking on an adventure with a pet should always be the veterinarian’s office.

At this appointment, not only can a thorough check up and vaccinations be performed to ensure pets are healthy enough to travel…

… but veterinarians can also provide a few safety pointers that are specific to animal type and breed.

CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE CARRIER

Dogs can sometimes travel in a car without a carrier, but they should still be provided with a pet barrier or seat belt designed for their size to keep them secure.

Cats will likely need a carrier in the car, as will smaller pets. Those who will be flying should check with the airline for specific carrier guidelines.
