Animals are the best - even better than people in some cases- so it's understandable why millions of people a year bring their beloved pets with them on their expeditions. As great as pets are, they are often unpredictable and harder to manage in a foreign situation. The thought of hassling an animal on already exhausting venture scares many people into leaving their pets in the care of others back home. But this fear shouldn't stop you from sharing an amazing life experience with your favorite furry companion as I'm here to show how to effectively get through a travel experience with your pet, without ending up howling in agony. (See what I did there? I'm sorry.)
If your best furry-iend is tagging along with you on a plane, the most important preparation method is getting informed. Call airport services or check out their procedures online as to how they handle transporting animals. You want to make sure that your pet is mentally and physically capable of making the trip. Make an appointment with you vet beforehand and get an assessment done to determine how much, if at all, motion sickness medicine will need to be administered to your animal prior to take off. Ifyou need any personal accommodations for your pet, checking the policies ahead of time will give you enough time to talk to and negotiate with the staff so that they can help make you pet's trip as enjoyable as possible.
If you are bringing along your pet in your personal vehicle, you'll also want to plan ahead of time to make sure you won't want to tear your hair out by the end. Make sure to prepare pet-friendly snacks for your pet to munch on and make sure that there is a designated spot in the car for them. If you can't fit an animal bed, blankets work just fine. Make sure to purchase an animal friendly seat belt for your pet if needed. And make sure to listen to your pet to see what they need whether that's motion sickness medication or a restroom break. The important thing is to not forget the small technicalities that come along with bringing your pet along for your trip.
I hope this helped ease your mind about bringing your pet along for your upcoming ventures or aided in convincing you to bring them in the future. To have your best friend on four legs with you for the best times of your life is definitely worth the slight hassle.
Until the next post!
