Pet Travel Safety

Safety is a top priority when traveling with pets, especially seniors. Start by securing your pet in a comfortable carrier or using a pet seatbelt if traveling by car. This prevents injury in the event of sudden stops. For air travel, ensure your pet’s carrier meets airline safety standards. Hydration is essential, so pack water and a portable bowl. Keep an eye out for signs of stress, such as panting or restlessness, and address them promptly. Always bring an emergency kit with medication, health records, and contact information for a vet at your destination. Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle, especially in extreme temperatures. With proper precautions, you can ensure your pet’s safety throughout the trip.
