Basic tips for traveling with pets

Pet travel tips

Travel with pets it's a perfect way to share all of our best moments with them. Therefore, when we are planning a trip, we must also include the furry ones, although sometimes it is not very simple, depending on the destination we have chosen.

Therefore, it is best to take into account a series of tips that we will put into practice. Because traveling with pets is becoming more and more possible thanks to the fact that there are more points dedicated to them. If you are already thinking about your summer vacation, then do not miss everything that follows because it interests you.

Find out before the trip

At this point, we cannot help you too much because each place is different. It is true that there are many hotels or hostels that allow us to have our pets close by. But before making any kind of reservation, we must contact them. The same happens if we travel by plane, where the rules seem to change at times. If a dog weighed less than eight kilos, it could travel in the cabin, but if not, it had to go in the hold and of course, it is not a place where we would like to leave it. That is why we must always ask, since the size of the pet will also influence, as well as the breed.

How to travel with pets

Start with short trips

For both you and your pet, it is always better to start with short distances. In addition, it is best to get used to traveling from a very young age. This way it won't be as big of a change when he's older. In this way, he will get used to seeing more people, to the noise of the car or the plane, if it is the case. Because as we well know a change in space and routine, it is also going to alter them and make them more nervous. So the more bearable it is, the better.

A review before traveling with pets

The reviews have to be part of our life and more, of our pets. Therefore, if it is already something that has to enter our plans, even more so when we go on vacation with them. Before leaving, there is nothing like make an appointment with the vet for a test. You must have your vaccinations up to date and a travel passport to indicate that you have your vaccinations and that everything is in order. Remember that if you have just given a vaccination, you must wait at least 12 days, so that they can start the trip.

Pet travel insurance

Your pet's meals

Although we are going to get used to all kinds of food, or almost all, pets are not. Therefore, when we travel with them, the best thing is take our feed with us if it is a short journey and we do it by car. Otherwise, we can always investigate a little if there is that brand that we use in the area. In this way, we can buy it at the destination without major problem. The truth is that we should not alter a routine like this too much, therefore, it is vital that we also take it into account before going on a trip.

Travel with pets

The safety of your pets

We don't want to leave you stranded, that's why safety always has to be a priority. Hence, we must bear in mind that our pets need a collar with their identification tag. It will bear the name of the animal and the owner's phone number. In this way, there will be no problem if it is lost, so that they can quickly sound the alarm. On the other hand, we can also hire a pet travel insurance. Since if it gets bad for any reason, the insurance removes you from having to pay high amounts of money to the vet, especially when we travel to other countries.
