🐾✈️ Happy National Pet Travel Safety Day! 🚗🐶
Whether you’re planning a road trip, flying to a new destination, or just heading out for a weekend adventure, a little preparation goes a long way toward keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Here’s how to make every journey a great one for your furry co-pilot:
📋 Plan ahead:
Before you go, research travel requirements — especially if crossing state lines or traveling internationally — and make sure you have any necessary health certificates.
🩺 Visit your vet:
A pre-trip check-up ensures vaccinations are current and your pet is healthy enough to travel.
🆔 Update ID:
Make sure your pet’s microchip and collar tags are up-to-date with your contact info.
🚗 Travel smart by car:
Use a secure carrier, pet seat belt, or barrier to keep your pet safe. Take regular breaks for water, potty time, and stretching. Never leave your pet unattended in a parked car.
✈️ Flying with pets:
Check airline pet policies ahead of time and pick an airline that prioritizes pet safety. If your pet will be in the cargo hold, get them comfortable with a proper airline-approved crate before the trip.
💧 In-transit care:
Keep your pet hydrated, offer small meals during long trips, and comfort them with familiar blankets or toys to reduce stress.
Traveling with your pet can be safe, fun, and rewarding when you prepare ahead. 🐕❤️ Here’s to many happy, safe adventures together!
