1. If travelling by plane, make sure you have all necessary paperwork with you and completed before you get to the airport. Ensuring you know and are following the rules of the airline you’re flying with will prevent any nasty surprises at the airport.
2. If you’re travelling by car, make sure you have both food and water on hand for your pet. “Also, don’t feed your pet for 2 to 3 hours before the trip if they tend to get car sick,” suggests the website.
3. Temperatures rise fast in unattended cars. Never leave your pet alone in the vehicle.
4. Plan to stop often if you’re travelling by car so both you and your pet can stretch your legs and go to the bathroom.
5. Keep your windows up or attended. Pets can easily jump out.
6. MyPetCARETV.com recommends either DAP or Feliway spray to keep nervous pets calm while travelling.
7. If your pet is prone to car sickness, the site recommends talking to a veterinarian about Cerenia, an anti car sickness drug.
8. If you have a harness for your pet, be sure to keep it buckled while travelling.
9. A familiar toy or blanket will help calm your pet during a long trip.
10. Keep a copy of your pet’s vaccination and medical records with you while travelling. These may be required and will be useful during an emergency.
