When you’re traveling with your pet, whether across town or half way around the world, you want to ensure that your trip is safe and fun for both you and your pet. There are some basic considerations that will make your trip easier and more enjoyable.
Firstly, you want to make sure that the places you’re traveling are pet-friendly. Finding hotels that allow pets in the room should be your first priority if you don’t both want to end up sleeping in the car! Most hotels that allow pets require them to be in crates while in the room so make sure you know the rules before you arrive. Most hotels also require a pet deposit so be prepared to pay extra, though these deposits are usually refunded at the end of your stay.
Before you leave, consult your vet. Make sure your pet is in good physical health before you travel. Pick up refills of any medications your pet will need while you are away ... and find out whether or not there are any concerns about the area to which you are traveling.
Remember food and water bowls. Keep your pet on the same diet as at home. Take along any pet food or make sure you can buy it at your destination.
Be courteous and clean up as much pet hair, etc. as you can. A good quality lint brush or pet hair roller is always useful! Also, take along plastic bag so you can clean up after your pet when taking them out.
Include a comb and/or brush, nail clippers, pet shampoo, and anything else your pet needs. Your active pet may end up needing a bit of a "touch-up" after a happy day hard at play!
Don’t forget the Collar and leash(es). If you are traveling to a remote area, consider bringing an extra leash - just in case one of them breaks.
Be sure to record the license numbers, tattoo numbers, and microchip numbers of your pets and bring this list with you. It's important, too, that your contact information is up-to-date.
Bring vaccination records and other documents. If you are traveling from another country to Canada, be sure to check what types of vaccinations your pet will need. Bring an up-to-date record with you. Also check with both your home country and Canada to see whether or not there are any special requirements for either traveling into the country, or returning to your own.
