Pack your pet’s necessities
One of the most important things that you have to take into consideration when planning to travel with your dog is to pack all of their necessities, such as food, water, treats, toys, meds, or other supplies. “Remember to bring equipment to pick up pet waste, so that everything can be disposed of safely,” said Dr. Chen.
However, you have to take with you hand sanitizer, surgical face masks or other things that can keep you safe as well. It’s important to protect yourself too because your dog will be lost without you.
Try to take with you everything you need to have a beautiful vacation. Don’t forget grooming utensils for your dog, such as shampoo, brush or flea powder. Keep your dog’s bag ready. “That way, all I have to do is grab it, add a couple of things, and go,” said Nikki Moustaki, an author and dog trainer in New York City and Miami Beach. “It’s not just novices who forget stuff. We all do!”
You should also bathe your dog before you go on vacation. “For your sake and the sake of others, you want to travel with a clean dog!” Moustaki said.
