Pet Friendly Travel Tips
Make your pet friendly getaway stress free
Sue and our Lab Millie walking the beach
We enjoy our pet friendly travel get-a-ways as much as we enjoy getting away by ourselves. Sue prefers to take our Lab Millie along most of the time.
Traveling also means ensuring the saftey of your pet. While traveling in a car secure your pet in a cage or an attached dog harness in case of an accident.
This also keeps "fido" from jumping in the front seat!
Traveling with pets can be challenging if you don't plan ahead. The dog travel tips below will help make your pet fiendly vacation a little easier with no surprises.
- dog food
- treats
- water
- bowls for food and water
- collar and leash (make sure tags are on)
- a couple of favorite toys and chew bones
- dog bed or cage for sleeping (blankie too)
- bags for waste pick up (a must do)
- any medications if necessary
- your pets medical records
These items are the minimum to bring. Since Millie loves the water (Black lab) we include several old towels.You know your pet and will most likley add a few things to this list.Bringing the medical records came in handy one night when we needed to board Millie.The kennels need to know that all imunizations are current. Make sure that they are.
