Packing Your Pet

Food, blankets and your pet’s favorite toy are no-brainers when you pack for travelling, but some other important items to bring can help make the “traveling” part easier. Make sure all of your pet’s microchip and tags are current and up to date, as well as their vaccines. This helps when the unthinkable happens. Some pets experience motion sickness the same as humans, so a motion sickness medication is a great resource. Accidents happen, not poo accidents, but real accidents. Be sure to pack a first aid kit for your furry friend with bandages, vet wrap, gauze and styptic powder. At Pet Travel Experts, you can see how to build your own first aid kit or buy one!

Many times eating regiments get changed resulting in canine confusion. Make sure you have lots of yummy variety so your pet doesnt get malnutrition!
