The travel with any of the family pets should be planned a bit long before the travel date. Make sure that the pet you are traveling has undergone a check up treatment before travel. In addition to it, for a safe travel consider these points:
a. An information card mentioning owner’s name and contact details and a rabies tag should be worn by the pet.
b. The carrier for travel should be spacious enough for free movement of the pet and doesn’t have any objects that could harm it.
c. Travel with fresh food, water, eating and drinking bowls and your pet’s first aid kit and ensure the safety first.
d. If traveling by car, never let your pet unsupervised inside and don’t allow his head outside the window. Stop at intervals for bathroom, food, water etc.
e. Last point to consider is about air travel. You should be aware of the airline’s rules for carrying a pet. If possible, try to look for a continuous flight for them.
