Travelling with your pets for the first time can be a challenging experience. However, if you stay prepared, it can also prove to be the most fulfilling journey too.
Traveling with pets can be challenging if you have never done it before. Your pet may feel anxious and scared of the new surroundings, and you, as a pet parent, must stay prepared for all the unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the trip. Let’s explore some travelling tips that will make the journey pleasant both for you and your furry friend.
Things to keep in mind:
• Before going on a trip, visit your vet and ensure your pet is in good health. Some destinations may require a health certificate of your pet, so obtain that in advance to avoid any inconvenience during the trip.
• Attach an ID tag containing your contact information with your pet’s collar.
• Carry toys and treats to comfort your pet when they feel anxious.
• Always carry pet’s food, water, medications, and extra blankets.
• Choose a mode of transportation that your pet will be comfortable with. Travelling by car would be the best choice for your pet. Do not leave your pets unattended in parked vehicles. If it is necessary to take a train for travelling purposes, make sure the spaces are pet friendly.
• Make bookings for accommodation in advance to avoid last-minute worries. Various hotels offer pet-friendly rooms, so do your research in advance.
• Ensure your pet stays hydrated and calm during the journey. Use a muzzle if they start feeling agitated to make sure they don’t hurt anyone.
If this is your pet’s first long journey, give them extra love and head pats. Just like humans, a long journey can be tiring for your pets. Therefore, ensure you provide them food and healthy drinks on time. Happy journey!
