Traveling with your pet can be a rewarding experience for the family. However, if you are traveling in a mode other than your own transportation, policy rules apply and must be followed.
First, plan ahead to give yourself plenty of time to satisfy the travel company's requirements. If you're travelling internationally, there are both domestic and international prerequisites that must be met. Check the website of your transportation company to ascertain what is needed prior to departure. If you have questions, call the toll-free number to get the answers you seek. Ensure that your animal is up to date on his vaccinations. Take him to a vet for a checkup and get any essential shots prior to departing. If her medications will run out before returning, have those prescriptions refilled, if possible. If it is too early, use a pharmacy that has locations in your destination's city or state.
Bring enough pet food, snacks and toys to make sure your pet has ample supplies. Finally make sure your pet's kennel has ample space for him to turn around and to be comfortable during the trip.
