How to Safely Travel With Pets This Spring and Summer

ELVERSON, Pa. - March 20, 2018 - PRLog -- The temperature is rising, the days are growing longer, and you and your pup are itching to take a road trip somewhere new and exciting. With holidays like Easter, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July approaching, it's no wonder spring and summer include some of the busiest travel days of the year.

Pets today are considered family, and because of this, people are traveling with their furry companions more than ever before.  In addition, the rise of pet-friendly hotels and more accommodating airline policies is making pet travel more convenient as well. It's great to live in a world that's so accepting of our beloved animals; however it's crucial pet owners stay mindful of potential pet hazards that could occur while traveling. Preparing for each excursion will help to make it a more rewarding, safe and fun experience for the entire family.

Here are a few spring and summer pet travel safety tips to keep in mind this spring and summer season!

·         Create a packing checklist specifically for your pet. Remember to include all the essentials (medications, food, treats, bowls, jugs of water, chew toys, etc.) The spring season is especially rainy so don't forget towels for muddy paws. It's also a good idea to bring items along that your pet is familiar with to help relieve travel anxiety.

·         Exercise pups before the adventure. A tired dog makes for a happy and well-behaved dog!

·         Take breaks. While on a long road trip, it's best your pet can get out and stretch, use the bathroom, and sniff around for some stimulation. Always keep your pet leashed! Also, never leave your pet unattended in a car. The summer months can be dangerously hot!

·         Identification is crucial. Whenever you travel with your pet, make sure they have tags and/or are microchipped. Current ID on the collar is still the easiest way to get your pet back to you.

·         Up-to-date vaccinations are essential for your pet's good health. Keep in mind: if you are traveling through customs, vaccinations are required. Using preventatives for flea/ticks is also a smart idea while traveling during the spring and summer months. Always bring along your medical records as well.

·         Certification in safety matters. When purchasing a product to transport your pet, make sure to really investigate the item. Many brands may use the word "safe," but checking to see if it has been tested and certified is a must.

·         Bring along a familiar bed or blanket so that they have a cozy place to rest. The Carry-Me Sleeper™ is a great option! Designed for simplicity while traveling, the Gen7's innovative Carry-Me Sleeper™ offers both a comfortable carrier and a cozy fleece bed for pets up to 20 lbs.  This 2-in-1 carrier/bed provides the ultimate in convenience, soothing comfort and peace of mind.  Compatible with most major airlines, owners of the Carry-Me Sleeper™ will find all the "must haves" in place.  With a side entrance, dual zippers, interior tether, mesh sides and top for ventilation, owners have the freedom to take their pets with ease.

Unzip and rest

When it's time for rest, simply unzip the long side to unfold an inviting bed.  The bed is removable and washable for the ultimate in convenience.  Pockets for treats, toys and incidentals keep everything close at hand.  Easy and light to tote around, durable nylon ensures your pet will be enjoying their Carry-Me Sleeper™ for many years to come.  Travel.
