The Holidays are one of the busiest seasons for travel, and a perfect time to have your pet tag along. Whether you are traveling to visit family, or taking a vacation with loved ones, bringing your pet is sure to make your trip more memorable.

Here are a few tips & travel essentials to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience with your pet:

• Keep them secure. A harness system can reduce the risk of your dog or cat running away, especially at an unfamiliar place like a rest stop or gas station.
• Keep them calm. Although some pets love seeing new sights, it can cause some of them a bit – or a lot – of anxiety. Even a car trip can be frightening, which is why it’s smart to consider various supplements to help reduce anxiety, everything from chews to drops.
• Keep them comfortable. Whether you’re traveling 30 minutes or 12 hours comfort is important. Plus, it’s also useful to have something nice for them to have their own space to play and sleep in the car. A Pet Carrier or a hammock might be just what they need to enjoy the ride.
• Keep things fun. Whether you’re traveling by car or plane, you can’t forget their gear! Try some of our portable items like a collapsible water bowl or a to-go treat bag.

Another reason pets may act up or not enjoy traveling is because they’re bored. If you’re driving you may not be able to play with them until you stop, but you can find a variety of toys or things to chew while driving.

Just like traveling with people, some pets handle traveling great and love the adventures, but it can also be stressful. Any effort to reduce the tension or boredom for them can only mean a more peaceful trip for you.
