Vacation plans? Weekend getaway? Road trip with your co-pilot in the back seat? Before you and your pet hit the road (or the skies), a little prep can make the journey smooth and stress-free for everyone involved.
Pets should always travel secured in a carrier, crate, or pet seat belt. It keeps them safer and helps avoid unexpected “helpful” driving assistance from the back seat.
Don’t forget the essentials:
Even a quick stop can turn into a hot mess faster than you think.
Traveling across state lines or flying with your pet? You may need a Pet Health Certificate, which confirms your pet is healthy and up to date on required vaccinations.
Requirements vary depending on where you’re headed, so planning ahead is key. International travel may also require additional testing or documentation.
Bottom line: A little planning now helps ensure a paws-itive trip later. Safe travels from all of us at East Metro Animal Emergency Clinic!
