Things to Consider When Traveling with Your Pet:
- Be sure your pet is comfortable with travel as some pets cannot handle it due to medical conditions, age, temperament, etc...
- Make sure you have all documents in order (proof of vaccinations, up-to-date identifications tags, medications, food/water, first aid kit, health certificate-if applicable, collar/leash, toys, etc...)
- If traveling by car: prepare to make frequent stops to let your pet get acclimated to new environment and relieve themselves
- Bordetella vaccination: Bordetella is bacteria that causes a highly contagious upper respiratory infection mainly contracted in areas of high levels of canine interaction. Be aware that most kennels, doggy daycares, and pet friendly hotels require this vaccination
