Ideas for Pet Friendly Travel

When you are traveling by car with your pet, planning and preparation will make the trip much smoother. It is best to keep your pet comfortable and in familiar surroundings. If your pet is stressed easily or gets carsick, it may be best to hire a pet-sitter or a kennel to watch after your animal. There are some tips to consider for pet friendly travel.

• Have the necessary identification or microchip in case your animal friend is lost.
• Take along food and treats to keep them occupied.
• Have the current vaccinations and health certificate updated.
• Take along a kennel to use at a hotel, or if you are a guest at someone's home.
• Bring along fresh water.
• Make sure you bring along a leash and take a break every two hours.
• Consider some sort of restraint to use in the car and do not let them hang their head out of the window.

These are just a few of the considerations when traveling. As always, taking along a first aid kit and knowing the number of a local vet is a good idea in case you notice any change in behavior or suspicious symptoms. If you are not staying with relatives or friends, it may be necessary to look for pet friendly hotel chains. With a little research and time, you can find pet friendly accommodations that will suit everyone.
