Pet Friendly Travel Tips
1. Bring adequate water in the car and bring enough of your pet’s preferred food as it might not be available everywhere.
2. ALWAYS keep your pet on a leash when outside a vehicle – it’s too easy to become separated in a strange place.
3. Use a carrier for all pets under 20 pounds, use a safety harness that clips to seat belts for all others.
4. Pets should have collars and ID tags, at a minimum, in case pet and owner are separated. ID tattoos and a microchip are a preference, and owners should also carry a recent photo of their pet to help describe him/her if needed.
5. NEVER leave a pet in a closed vehicle – oven-like temperatures can build up in minutes, even on cool days.
6. Be careful when introducing your pet to strangers, especially don’t allow curious children or adults to approach your pet without your supervision.
7. NEVER let your pet approach an animal in the wild.
8. Prepare your pet for travel with effective flea and tick medication.
9. Be mindful of your pet’s personal needs and limitations – how far they can comfortably walk, is their preferred food available, how frequently do they need to stop for a break, etc.
10. ALWAYS clean up after your pet.
