Pet travelling tips

Take your pet for a quick health check and make sure vaccinations are up to date. Ask for any travel certificates you might need.

Ensure collars have current tags with your phone number. Microchipping adds extra security if they get lost.

Use a well-ventilated, sturdy carrier or travel harness that fits perfectly so they feel secure and can relax.

Don't forget food, water, medications, and a favorite toy. These familiar items help reduce travel-related stress.

Ease your pet into travel with short outings to get them used to the motion and sounds before a long trip.

Stop every couple of hours. Let your pet stretch, drink, and relieve themselves safely during the journey.

Check airline or train policies and book your pet’s tickets early to avoid any last-minute hassles.

Offer fresh water frequently, and bring familiar blankets to provide comfort in new environments.

Look up and book places that welcome pets so both of you can relax and enjoy the trip together.

Pets sense your mood. Watch for signs of stress like panting or restlessness and respond with care.
