We love our pets as much as you love yours, and we understand that the thought of traveling with them can be a little stressful. That’s why we’ve collected our best tips and products geared toward pet travel needs. You’ll find traveling with your pet doesn’t need to be daunting at all, and the sooner you do a little planning, the better you’ll feel about it.
Traveling by Car
Dogs take naturally to the road. Whether or not yours is a natural road hound, a few accessories can make the miles go faster for both of you.
Traveling by Plane
You can, in fact, usually take your dog with you when you travel by air. If you plan ahead and take the necessary steps, you and Rex will reach the other side just fine. Small dogs may be able to ride under your seat, but big dogs will be transported as cargo.
- Every airline has their own rules regarding dogs. Before you book your tickets, research each company thoroughly and make sure you talk to them on the phone to confirm their policy.
- You will need all of your dog’s health certifications and up-to-date registration information.
- All dogs must be transported in an airline approved crate.
For When You Get There
Dog care is easy at home – that’s where all the dog stuff is. But going mobile means bringing everything that both you and your dog need. Some things to think about:
- Leash, collar, and/or harness
- Dog food (enough for their regular feeding schedule)
- Dog bed or blanket (something familiar)
- Long-lasting dog toys
- “Doggy bags”
- Medication
- Up-to-date medical records and tags
