Vet Check for Traveling Pets

A vet check-up is essential before traveling with your pet, particularly for senior animals. During the visit, your vet can assess your pet’s health and determine if they are fit for travel. They may also provide tips on managing any pre-existing conditions, such as arthritis or heart issues, and prescribe medications to ease travel-related stress or motion sickness. Be sure to ask about vaccination requirements, especially if traveling internationally. Pack any prescribed medications and make a list of local veterinary clinics at your destination in case of an emergency. A thorough vet check can give you peace of mind and help ensure your pet’s safety and comfort while traveling.
