Bringing your furry friend on an exciting adventure with you is what pet owners dream of and often why they have pets in the first place. Whether you’re toting Fido on a road trip or packing his doggie crate for a journey across an ocean, don’t forget to pack these important items to ensure a safe and comfortable trip for you both.
Updated Dog Tags
Make sure your dog’s ID tags have the latest phone number people can use to contact you in case your dog goes missing. Sites like Chewy.com offer great deals on these.
Documentation
If traveling internationally, your pet will need a passport. Yes, a pet passport. Also be sure to include paperwork from the vet that lists all completed vaccinations and other treatments. You can get Fido a passport in less than 24 hours.
Food, Water, Treats, Toys
Just as you prefer to have comforts from home with you while you’re on the road, your pet feels the same way, and maybe even more so since he will be out of his normal environment and may be anxious. Bring along his favorite toys, favorite treats and dog food for tastes of home. Also make sure to have enough water for pit stops.
