Family vacations are no longer just for the humans in the family. Many pet owners take their dogs with them when they travel. If you’re looking to travel with your canine companion, we’ve got tips to make the trip as smooth as possible.

Consult With Your Veterinarian

Consult with your veterinarian before embarking on your trip. This is especially important if it's your pet's first time traveling. Make sure your pet is ready to travel.

Prepare a Travel Kit for your Pet

Don't forget to pack your pet's essentials, such as travel papers, food, bowl, leash, a waste scoop, plastic bags, and grooming supplies. Most importantly, include medication and a pet first-aid kit in your pet's traveling kit.

Traveling can be stressful for some pets. Keep a familiar blanket or toy with your pet to make it feel more comfortable. If your pet suffers from anxiety, it's worth mentioning during the consultation with your veterinarian.
