Take Your Pet On Vacation

Article Title: Take Your Pet On Vacation
Author: Peter Wilson

Did you know that Americans are more carrying about their pets
than any other country in the world? They would actually prefer
to travel with their pets. You will find that there are
thousands of people who would rather travel with their pets then
live them at home. They will want to take their pets to hotels,
parks, and even travel with their companion animals. You will
want to do some research before you decide to take your pet with
you during your trip. You will want to make sure that your pet
is allowed to travel with you.

There are many instances where dogs will be able to go for car
rides and most cats are not. You will find that you can take
dogs to places where you can't normally take a cat. That is why
dogs are considered to be the number one travel companion. You
will want to make sure that your pets are allowed to be with you
so that you don't get the bill for the kennel. You will want to
make sure that the dog or cat is able to travel with you
publicly; you don't want to take a pet that is afraid of the
outside world or has panic attacks. Here are some tips on how
you can make traveling with your pet safe and possible.

First, you will want to take the cat to a veterinarian. You
will want to get a certificate of health. You can prove that the
pet is current on all of the shots and you may want to get a
micro-chip installed below their skin so that you can track them
if they get lose. The chip is very important if you are
traveling out of the state. In addition, you can bring your
pets medication with you when you take it to the vet. They will
give you enough meds for you to get through the entire trip. In
addition, you might want to have more just incase they are lost
of stolen.

You will also want to make sure that your pet is socialized. If
your pet does not like others, you may want to travel in a
kennel or cage so that they feel safe while on the trip. Again,
you will only want to take your pet somewhere if they are well
behaved. You do not want to take your dog if they love to bark
or have bitten anyone in the past. You will want to make sure
that you also bring the kennel so that the dog or cat does not
ruin the hotel by going on the carpet or chewing things up.
Remember, you will have to pay for the damage.

You will also want to make sure that you make the reservations
at the hotel in advance and you will want to ask them if pets
are allowed. There are many people, who just assume that the
hotel is pet friendly, but you will want to find out before hand
or you may need to rush out and find a place for the hand. Your
pet should also put a collar with tags on the animal at all
times. You will also want to place your rabies tag and other
tags like the dogs name and your information. In addition, you
will want to travel with your pet by car. You will find that an
airline travel is very stressful.
