Every dog owner wants to make funny and adventurous memories with their furry friend without going through any problems and spend a great time. In this blog we’ll tell the most important tips to accomplish a great trip with your dog
1- Make sure to use a safe, and comfy carrier:
Many of dog owners think that "the bigger, the better" when it comes to pet carriers, having extra space for movement may not be the ideal choice. Pet carriers should have exactly the right amount of room for your dog to move about comfortably. Your dog might be flung around in a container that is too large for them while the car is moving. You must be far more careful when choosing your airline if you're flying. Soft-sided carriers, which are more adaptable and convenient to store, are necessary for airplanes. Additionally, the carrier must fit underneath the seat in front of you. The precise maximum size for pet carriers allowed on your flight may be found on your airline's website.
2- Your pet should be on a leash and have an ID tag-equipped harness:
Sure, you want your dog to burn off some energy, but a rest stop in another place isn’t the best time to let your dog run freely. Your pet's safety is your top priority, but you also want to be able to find them quickly if they do get lost. The following tips will help you ensure that your lost pet is found quickly:
•Make sure your phone number is on their ID tag.
•Carry or even make posters with a recent, clear photo of your pet.
3- Make arrangements for water and food:
One way to make your pet more comfortable during the trip is to make sure their needs are being met. Stick to their regular feeding schedule as much as possible. Pack more food than you think you’ll need, and make sure you can easily reach it. And for water, think about using a small container with a lid. So you can easily take out water whenever your dog needs it, and then store it without having to throw unused water
4- Regularly stop every two to three hours:
Search for rest stops that are pet-friendly. Take pets to designated pet areas to exercise and do their business—while on a leash, of course.
5- Monitor your pet’s health status:
Before long trips, consult your vet for travel procedures. They may encounter unspecified health risks that make traveling too dangerous. If your pet's health isn't ideal, don't risk it:
Arrange for your beloved pet to stay home with a responsible friend, family member, neighbor or a guardian reliable.
Otherwise, pack your pet's medication and make sure your pet is up to date with flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. Know the vet's contact details at your destination, just in case.
