Traveling With Pets
To take or not to take her, that’s the question…
It is indeed one of the biggest dilemmas that all pet owners face when they travel. You don’t want to leave your pet behind as you enjoy a holiday, but the thought of travelling around with her makes you really nervous and anxious. Then, here we offer you a simple guide to plan a hassle free travel with your pet.
The first and foremost step in the direction would be to check whether the place you are travelling to allows pets. Because if it doesn’t then there isn’t any option at all. But let’s hope for the best and consider the situation wherein pets are allowed. In that case you have to prepare well for your pet’s travel.
- One of the first things you’ll need to buy is a pet carrier, more precisely a good pet carrier. The one that allows you to stand, sit and lie down comfortably, and breathe well. You also have to make the pet accustomed to the pet carrier by feeding her in the carrier itself, and letting her sleep in it.
- The next important factor to consider is your mode of travel. And you have to make necessary preparations for that first. If you will be travelling by car, again you should opt for accustoming your pet by taking her along for short trips.
- If you will be flying, then check all details and relevant issues with the airlines. Some airlines do not allow pets to travel in extreme conditions, which is actually not safe for your pet.
- You should also consider not travelling during peak hours as overcrowded areas may make your pet nervous.
Medical Precautions:
- You must check all medical records and find out if your pet has any medical conditions. You need to consult a veterinarian and get all necessary medications that you might need during the travel.
- If your pet is on a therapeutic diet, carry it along. Don’t take chances; it is worth carrying an extra pack also.
- If you are travelling to a place wherein the pet requires vaccination, make sure to get the pet vaccine.
- Sedation is not a preferred option but your pet may require it so you have to keep your veterinarian close at hand.
- You must also carry medical records in case of emergency.
- Your pet’s own veterinarian’s number must be kept in handy in case you may require.
Packing List:
You must understand that your pet’s packing list is more important than your packing list. So be very careful. Any item missing might land you in big time trouble. Sample a must-have packing list below:
- Food items at least until you reach the destination.
- Your pet’s clothing if she wears one.
- Toys, towel, medicines and other stuff that makes your pet feel at home.
You need to take other precautions as well but that should not keep you from travelling with the pet. So brace up and have a good travel with your pet.
