Whether you're driving to Orlando or flying to see family, a little planning makes the trip easier for everyone.
The checklist
- A secure, ventilated carrier or car harness
- Food for the whole trip plus 2 extra days
- Travel bowls and bottled water
- Leash, waste bags and a favorite toy
- Vaccination records and ID tag with your phone
Get them used to the carrier
Leave the carrier open at home for a few days with a blanket and treats inside. That way it feels like a safe place, not a punishment.
Plan stops
On road trips, stop every 2 to 3 hours for water and a short walk. Never leave your pet alone in the car.
