Be
honest about your pet’s ability to travel.
If your pet is very young or old, is ill, pregnant, or recovering from
surgery, it may be better for all concerned to look into a pet sitter or
kennel. There is no need to risk
injuring your pet by taking him/her with you.
Ask
us about any medical risks for areas you will be visiting, as well as any
medications needed for carsickness. Pets
can be separated from their owners while traveling and often collars are not on
pets recovered at the shelters.
Seriously consider having your pet microchipped, because facilities
nationwide are using scanners that will read these implanted chips. This allows you to be reunited with your lost
pet!
Make
certain that all vaccinations are current and obtain a copy of the records to
carry with you, as you may need to board your pet unexpectedly. Also, if your pet requires emergency medical
attention, these will allow this to take place much more quickly. If your plans include air travel, you need to
check with the airline carrier regarding their requirements.
very interesting blog. It's sad that some people don't consider their pet the same like humans. Pets, like human, can not travel in certain situations and they also have to get vaccination before the trip.

Thank you. Most pets are treated as an extension of the family, so we always want to make sure the information is available. Sometimes pet parents are not aware of the complexity of traveling with their fur baby!
