At times we often think that travelling with our dog is going to be a difficult and laborious task but it certainly doesn’t have to be. Plenty of people will tell you that its not a good idea however here are some tips that you should keep in mind whilst travelling with your dog.
1. Prior to travelling be sure to check your dog’s health certificate ensuring that your pooch is up to date on shots. If your dog is flying be sure to check with the airline on their specific requirements.
2. Your dog should be micro-chipped with updated information available in the event that they become separated from you.
3. Essential in packing for your dog is that they should have their own separate bag for so that items can be easily accessed.
4. Location is very important and if you will be going to a cooler area you might bring a sweater and doggie life jacket in the event you want your pooch to for on a swim.
5. When choosing a place to stay look for dog friendly hotels. We will shortly be partnering with Metro Hotels where you will be able to place your dog with a Minder nearby whilst you stay at a Metro property.
6. One thing is that if your dog is prone to sickness consult a vet first before going on a trip. Limit the amount of food that you gave them before travelling in a car to avoid an upset stomach.
7. When travelling in a car – be sure to safely secure your dog with a harness as if the car stops suddenly your pup could become seriously injured.
