Tips For Traveling With Pets

The Holiday Season is quickly approaching, and for a lot of people that means traveling. But “pet parents” often face a dilemma when making their travel plans. The key to a happy vacation is planning ahead to make sure your four-legged friend will have a happy, healthy experience regardless of the means of transportation. We’ve compiled a list of five ways to make traveling with pets easier & safer.

1. When traveling by car, cats and dogs should go in carriers that are secured to a seat.
2. NEVER travel with a pet in the truck bed. A sudden change of motion or impact could be fatal.
3. On long trips, be sure to stop frequently for pets to relieve themselves and stretch.
4. Always make sure your pet has access to water and gets food during long trips.
5. When traveling by air, make sure you read your airline’s policy; they can vary.
