ASTORIA, N.Y. - May 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Many of us consider our pets part of the family and like to include them in our travel plans. Let's face it; vacations are a lot more fun when sharing the memories with our four-legged companions.

It's not always easy for our pet to leave their comfort zone of home. It's important that we provide them with a space they feel cozy in while on the road and visiting new destinations. The SturdiBag is great for traveling because it's simply the best in-cabin, light weight, flex-height pet carrier available. Whether it is used on a plane, in the car, or for carrying on foot, the SturdiBag is comfortable and safe for our cats or small dogs. Many professional animal trainers and exhibitors who travel with cats and dogs extensively prefer SturdiBag too!

When on the road, our pets will be spending lots of time outdoors and because of this they may not always smell so pleasant. The CritterZone Air Naturalizer creates a natural, charged flow that fills the room or vehicle and continually cleans the air. The sun provides the outdoor air with the power and energy it needs to clean itself: a power and energy that indoor air lacks. CritterZone provides indoor air with the natural charge it needs to virtually eliminate odors, allergens, dust and bacteria. The CritterZone is small and easy to pack on any trip or vacation!

Traveling could cause lots of stress and anxiety for our pets. Luckily, Calm Coat, is an easy and inexpensive solution in treating our poor pups who suffer from anxiety while on the road. The Calm Coat uses hugging to relax the dog and works by applying constant, gentle pressure to the animal's torso. It is easy to put on and take off; just lay the coat over the dog's back and secure with the chest and torso straps which allow for a snug and comfortable fit to many different body shapes. As a drug-free, easy to use product, the Calm Coat is a great solution for calming down our four-legged friends and putting their anxieties at ease while on the road.

For some people, vacationing means push the diet aside and indulge in some snacks or meals that may not be the best for us. Just because we treat ourselves, does not mean our pets should splurge too! It's important we keep them on a regular, healthy diet. Clear Conscience Pet has a variety of healthy treats that are perfect to bring for your pet on the go.
