If you&#8217;re planning to load up the car (or plane!) and bring your beloved companion along this holiday season, you might be feeling a little anxious about the logistics. Long trips, strange places, and shifting routines can all add up to a stressful experience for both you and your pet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news? You can ditch the holiday travel stress. With a little planning and preparation, a smooth and happy journey is absolutely achievable! The team at <strong>Bowman Veterinary Hospital<\/strong> is here to walk you through everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Thanksgiving Travel with Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prepare (Well) in Advance of Your Trip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning ahead is the secret sauce to successful holiday travel with pets. You can&#8217;t plan for every possible scenario, but you can get pretty close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, make sure your pet is healthy and up-to-date on all his vaccines. If you&#8217;re crossing state lines or taking Fido or Kitty on a plane, check the requirements for pet travel. You might need to get a health certificate from your veterinarian or provide proof of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/5-tips-for-keeping-your-pet-healthy-and-happy-a-guide-to-preventive-care\/\">specific vaccinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some certificates have to be given out a certain number of days before a trip, so make sure you thoroughly understand the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, keep in mind that between weather and random acts of the Internet gods, air and road travel during Thanksgiving can be unpredictable. Delays happen. So do changes in plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you prepare for this? By making sure your pet is microchipped and has a collar with updated ID tags, along with a pet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/keeping-pets-safe-during-emergencies\/\">first-aid kit<\/a> and extra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/what-are-the-best-foods-for-my-pets\/\">food<\/a>, water, and waste bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all that&#8217;s covered, book pet-friendly hotels or vacation homes in advance. A lot of the more pet-friendly accommodations book up quickly\u2014especially around the holidays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choose the Right Travel Carrier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A comfortable, well-ventilated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaa.com\/pettravel\/pet-travel-tips\/Choosing-the-Right-Carrier-or-Crate-for-the-Trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travel carrier<\/a> is a must for your pet&#8217;s safety during the trip. This is true whether you&#8217;re flying, driving, or traveling by train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The carrier should be large enough for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. For car travel, make sure you secure the carrier with a seatbelt to keep it from sliding or tipping over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re flying, the carrier has to meet the airline&#8217;s requirements, so make sure you know those rules well before you board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help your pet feel more comfortable during the trip, place familiar items like her favorite blanket or toy inside the carrier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also speak with your veterinarian for tips on managing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/enough-is-enough-dealing-with-pet-anxiety\/\">pet anxiety<\/a> during travel. Special treats, supplements, and medications may help your pet get through a stressful flight or drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make Regular Stops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re driving, forget the idea of driving 10 hours without stopping to make it to your destination. Your pet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/pet-health-tips-preventive-measures-for-a-happy-healthy-pet\/\">will need<\/a> a rest stop every couple of hours to stretch, do their business, drink water, and eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plenty of rest areas are pet-friendly, and most gas stations have a strip of grass you can walk your pet to for a potty break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure you keep your pawsome pal on a leash. The last thing you need is to have him running off in a strange town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airplane travel with pets is a bit trickier. Time is your friend here. Arrive at the airport early so you have plenty of time to check in and go through security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet is small enough to ride in the cabin with you, make sure she has a potty break right before the flight. If your pet is traveling in the cargo hold, provide a small amount of food and water, along with a leash, and any other items the airline recommends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Problem-Free Pet Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready for Thanksgiving travel with your pet? Preparation is everything!
