Pet Travel Tips

Before setting out on your trip be sure that your pet has all the essentials to ensure that their trip is happy and safe.  Make sure to pack enough pet food for the trip. Don't count on picking some up during your trip as your pet's favorite food may not be readily available.  Include food and water dishes, bedding, litter and litter box, leash, collar and tags, grooming supplies, a favorite toy, a first-aid kit, and any necessary medications. In addition, a container of drinking water for your pet should always be with you.

Your pet should wear a sturdy collar with ID tags throughout the trip. The tags should have both your permanent address and telephone number.  It is also very important to include a tag with the address and telephone number where you or a contact can be reached during your travels.

Occasionally traveling can upset your pet's stomach. Take along ice cubes, which are easier on your pet than large amounts of water. It is recommended that you keep feeding to a minimum during travel. If you are traveling by car, a light meal for your pet two to three hours before you leave is advised.  If you are traveling by air, a light meal four to six hours before departure is recommended.  Allow small amounts of water periodically in the hours before the trip.

Carry a current photograph of your pet with you. If your pet is lost during a trip, a photograph will make it easier for others to help you find your pet.
