Here are some important pet travel tips that you need to know while planning a vacation with your pet.

• Most National Parks have strict regulations restricting pets. Check with them ahead of time.
• Make sure she has all her necessary vaccinations along with a health certificate to bring along with you on your trip.
• Be sure she has a collar with ID tag that contains your name and phone number.
• A pet that is not well behaved can be a problem and may not be suited to travel. If you must leave your pet home please be sure that she is well cared for. Professional pet sitters, kennels, friends or family are options available to you.
• Most airlines will accommodate pet travel but they all have their own rules. Dogs and cats are usually ok but other pets may present a problem.
• Your pet can travel either in the passenger cabin or in the cargo hold. Pet travel in the cargo hold can be a little rough and ventilation is not the best.
• Well behaved pets that are able to travel in an appropriate sized container may be brought with you on the plane. Pet travel in your car is a much more straight forward arrangement for all.
• Take basic safety precautions like not letting the animal run free in the vehicle. This means that she should be leashed securely or travel in a pet container. Never leave your precious pet in a hot car with the windows shut. Make sure you provide her with fresh water and food.
• When bringing your pet to a motel or hotel that accommodates pet travel please be sure to follow all their rules. Keep her leashed and clean up after her. Do not allow her to damage property by chewing or scratching.
