Summer Travel Tips with the Family Pet


Summer means road trips with the family. The question is: do we take the family pet with us, or find a pet sitter or kennel. If you decide to travel with your pet you first thing you need to do is find a hotel that is pet friendly. There are many web site that will provide list of pet friendly Hotel chains. Two of the sites I find helpful are http://www.petswelcome.com and http://www.dogfriendly.com. You should always contact the hotel directly to find out any restrictions and fees.


When traveling by car with the family pet is not as simple as pack the car and drive to your destination. Here are some tips to remember before hitting the road:


Identification


Make sure your pet has all the right tags imprinted with your home address, as well as a temporary travel tag with your cell phone, destination phone number and any other relevant contact information. You might want to consider microchipping your pet in case your pet loses their collar.  You also want to make sure you have your pets vaccination records and be sure they are up to date.


Packing


Packing for your pets is just as important as packing for yourself.  Remember to bring the necessities: leash, food, water bowl, dog bed, pick-up bags, crate, any medications and a favorite toy or two. 


While Driving in Car


To keep your pet safe in the car they should travel in a well-ventilated crate or attached to the seatbelt attached to a harness.  This will protect them in case of sudden stops.  You never want to leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle. When you stop at a rest stop someone should remain with the pet to walk it and keep it cool while the rest use the facility then you switch. Do not leave pet alone when you get food for yourself. Remember you should offer your pet water very time you stop. (If your pet does not drink water try giving it to them once the whole family is back in the car and ready to continue your trip).
