Tips for a Smooth Travel Experience with Pets

OAKLAND, Calif. - May 8, 2018 - PRLog -- For many pet parents, a trip or vacation is not complete if their pets cannot come along. Pet families today are traveling with their four-legged companions more than ever before; and although pet travel is becoming more accepted and common, there are still many precautions to take and plans to make to ensure a smooth travel experience for all!

Familiarity: Whether traveling my plane, train, bus or boat, containing your pet in a carrier is best. Let your dog or cat get used to the shape and smell of it. The more comfortable they feel, the less stressful travel will be for everyone! Keep the carrier in the house for some time and put treats inside to encourage your pet to explore. Allow them to take naps. This will also help them associate their carrier as a "happy place."  If you are traveling by car, take plenty of practice runs before the actual excursion. This is especially important when traveling with cats to help them become familiar and more comfortable with car rides.

Be Prepared: During the adventure, your pet will most likely spend a majority of their time in the carrier. It's a smart idea to line the bottom with a puppy-training pad.Not only do the pads provide some cushioning, but they make it super easy to clean up any unforeseen accidents that may occur along the way. Be sure to pack a couple of extra pads with you.

Do Your Research: If a pet is traveling in the cabin of an airplane with its owner, TSA must screen them at the security checkpoint.It's crucial to understand the TSA rules for pets prior to your departure date.  By law, pets must be removed from their carrier and walked or carried through the scanner. To lessen this stress, opt to be inspected in a private room. This is highly recommended for animals that tend to be nervous when traveling.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations: If you're traveling by car, research and planning is just as important! Before you hit the road, research pet friendly hotels, restaurants and attractions on your travel route and at your final destination. Seamless stops mean less stress and more opportunities to let your pet stretch and use the bathroom.  Having plenty of pet-friendly options along the way will make it much more enjoyable for you all.

Routine Is Key: Unfortunately, we can only take with us so many things when traveling, especially for our pets. To lighten your load, make a list of retailers at your destination that carry the pet food and products you will need for your time there.Keeping your pet's diet and routine as stable as possible while traveling will be very beneficial to them. If you are pressed for time, many high-end hotels will have a concierge take care of shopping but be sure to look into this before you arrive!

Calming Products: It's very important to stay mindful that car or plane rides along with a change in routine can often be stressful to our animal companions. Providing phytocannabinoids can be a very beneficial way to ease travel nerves and anxiety. In addition to the calming effects, phytocannabinoids products from Treatibles can help thwart car/travel sickness.
