Traveling with your dog & pets can be a fun adventure, but preparation is key! Here are some tips to make the trip smoother:


Before You Go:

šŸ¾ Vet CheckĀ ā€“ Ensure your pup is healthy for travel and up-to-date on vaccinations. Get any necessary medications.šŸ¾


ID & MicrochipĀ ā€“ Make sure your dog has a collar with an ID tag and/ or is microchipped with updated info.šŸ¾


Travel Crate or CarrierĀ ā€“ If flying or driving long distances, a secure crate can help keep them safe.šŸ¾


Pack the EssentialsĀ ā€“ Bring food, water, bowls, leash, waste bags, bed/blanket, and favorite toys for comfort.šŸ¾ Practice TripsĀ ā€“ If your dog isnā€™t used to long car rides, take them on short trips first to help them adjust.


During the Trip:

šŸš— Car TravelĀ ā€“ Use a dog seat belt, crate, or barrier for safety. Never let them roam freely in the car.šŸš— Frequent BreaksĀ ā€“ Stop every 2-3 hours for bathroom and stretch breaks. Keep your dog on a leash.šŸš— No Head Out the WindowĀ ā€“ It might look fun, but itā€™s dangerous! They could get injured by debris or sudden stops.šŸš— Keep Cool & HydratedĀ ā€“ Never leave your dog alone in the car, and ensure they have fresh water.
