• Plan the trip

Before you embark on a trip with your pet, you may want to take a step back and first jot down all that is important to your pet. Ranging from their toy, blanket, to medication, if any, put everything on the list so that you can guarantee your pet’s comfort in a new environment. Moreover, don’t forget to put important documentation pertaining to their travel on the checklist.

• Do not forget your pet’s booking

If you’re going to be traveling by air or even by train, it is important to remember that you need to get your pet a ticket as well. Furthermore, check the requirements and rules you need to follow while traveling by flight or train. Be it a crate or a carrier, don’t forget to acclimatize your pet to travel scenarios by planning short trips beforehand.

• Prepare the car for them

If it’s going to be a road trip, you might want to ensure that your pet is safe on the road. Remember to install the necessary safety seat so that they are comfortable, safe, and do not panic while you drive. Much like traveling by air, rail, or water, you should get them accustomed to traveling by car.

• Do not forget medication

Carry your pet’s vaccination records and other important documentation to avoid any hiccups while traveling by flight or train. Get your pet’s vaccination updated and make sure you have copies of their vaccination records.

• Pack their favorite snacks

In a new place, your pet’s toys, litter box, and food help them acclimatize and comfort. Therefore, measure right the amount of food your pet might need during the trip. Adhere to their regular diet to avoid any digestion troubles. Lastly, do not forget about your pet’s toilet routines and ensure they are comfortable before the journey begins.

• Do not forget the microchip

This is by far the most important and essential thing on your pet’s travel checklist, do not forget to microchip them. A microchip will help you keep your pet safe and track them if they wander or get lost. Additionally, it will help anyone that finds your pet to contact and bring them back to you if anything untoward happens.
