Transporting Pets
"Even the most stay-at-home pets must travel occasionally, though the trip may be no more than an annual visit to the vet."
Traveling with your pet!
Are you prepared?
I've traveled across the country with my two dogs.
When we packed up and moved from Texas to Washington state, we had to bring out dogs with us.
The first thing I had to do is plan out our hotels around pet friendly places.
For this trip we also had to pack blankets, food, and water for them.
We bought new leashes and they had their collars the entire time.
We are lucky that our pets travel well.
They don't run off and they are really great at going potty outside.
They also don't get car sick!
I never really thought about pets getting car sick but it happens!
Unfortunately, the only way to tell if your pet is car sick is to get them in the car and drive.
If you take your pet for a ride but you let them ride in the truck bed, you might need to research you local laws. If your pet isn't secured in the back, they risk falling off the moving truck.
This of course can cause injury or death the animal, but it also cause an accident.
There are many ways for you to secure your pet for their safety inside and out of the vehicle.
Small pets should have an adequate carrier.
Don't shove them in a box ok!
Sturdy and ventilated pet carrier please.
If you have to fly with your pet.....
I have such anxiety about this.
There has been so much about pets not being cared for and suffering injury or death because of negligence. Research your airline and their policies for traveling with pets.
Is your pet trained?
Our dogs traveled great because they understand commands and are pretty chill most of the time.
If you pet isn't trained....good luck.
You might end up like our picture in this post.
Just look at that smug face.
"Humans. This is unacceptable. I requested a 5 star hotel not this roach motel."
