National Pet Travel Safety Day

Many pets have truly become companions and travel everywhere with their owners. We have compiled a few basic tips to keep you and your pet safe during your travels to ensure you both have an enjoyable time away.
  • Be prepared for emergencies. Make yourself aware of any Veterinary Emergency Clinics in your destination area and how to contact them if needed.
  • Take breaks. When traveling for long distances, make sure you stop for "potty breaks" and to offer water, food if needed, and some exercise to stretch their legs.
  • Keep your pet properly restrained. Your choice of travel and your individual pet will determine the best and safest way to travel. Cats should always be transported inside a pet carrier, regardless of the type or duration of travel. The requirements for dogs will vary greatly depending on their personality. A travel crate, kennel, or special seat belt are several options.
  • Provide pet identification and owner contact information. All pets should have some sort of identification on them when traveling. A microchip and/or a collar with tags are the best forms of identification for pets. Make sure your contact information on the tags is current and legible.
  • Confirm your pet is current on all vaccinations. Check with your veterinarian to make sure your pet is fully vaccinated and keep a copy of vaccination dates with you at all times.
  • Check requirements of lodging and  airline. Some airlines and destinations have specific requirements for pets to be allowed. Make sure you have checked their pet policies ahead of time.

Enjoy your travel time with your pet!
