Tips For Traveling With Pets


Most of us own a pet that we love like a family member. Approximately 78% of Americans travel with their pets. For some pet parents, this can seem like a daunting task, and for others, it is as easy as can be. Here are some tips to help make traveling with your pet easier. 


-Invest in a harness or some type of restraint. This will ensure that your pet is secured in case of an accident. The back seat is the safest place for pets. The front seat has an airbag which could cause injury. 

 

-Portable food dishes. These are usually lightweight and packable, which means they take up less space.


-Make sure they have an ID tag with up-to-date information. Have you recently moved or changed phone numbers? If your pet has a microchip make sure to update your info in there as well. 


-You never know what traveling might bring, be sure to have extra cleaning supplies and towels along. 


-Bring familiar or comfort items. Traveling can be very stressful for pets. They are out of their home and routine. Bringing their favorite toy or comfort item might bring them familiarity and help them relax.


-Bring extra everything! The last thing you want to do is run out of food, medications, or doggy bags. Be sure to bring a few more than is needed. 


-Double-check that your destination is pet friendly. Not all places are welcoming to pets. 


-Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle. The cab of vehicles heats up very quickly.
