Tips For Traveling With Your Pets Many of our customers have fur babies that they wouldn’t leave home without. Summer traveling can be especially difficult for pets, so we have a few tips here to help you and your beloved pet have a more enjoyable and safe adventure. 1. Make sure that you have chosen a destination which is pet friendly. Check www.petswelcome.com for pet friendly hotels! 2. Know how to find a Vet in case of an emergency. Many websites let you search veterinarians by zip code. 3. Make sure your pet has an accurate ID tag with name, address and phone number, in case they get lost. 4. Fasten your seatbelts! Remember to properly restrain your pet with a harness or in a carrier. Keep your pet inside the windows, and out of your laps to ensure your pet -- and your human passengers – are safe! 5. Make pit stops. With dogs especially, frequently stops are a must so they can stretch their legs, do their business and mentally exercise by checking out their surroundings. 6. Eat and drink up. Offer your pet water whenever you stop, and try to keep your pet’s feeding schedule close to normal. Take plenty of food and water for your trip, and you’ll have a happy pet!
