Tips For Traveling With Your Dog

Traveling with your dog should be fun and relaxing. Speak to your veterinarian before traveling to ensure that your pet has any shots and treatments they might need before you go.

Most pet-friendly hotels do not require you to pre-book your pet, but if you want peace of mind, call ahead before you travel.

“If you haven’t traveled with your dog before, get them used to unfamiliar surroundings by staying with friends and family before heading further afield.” suggests, Debra Casey a travel writer at State of writing and Oxessays.

Check what pet stores are available at the location you are staying in and that they stock the food you need for your pet. Instead of carrying a week’s worth of pet food with you, only take enough for the travel part and have the bulk of it delivered to your hotel from the pet store.
