Traveling with your dog can be a great adventure, and an incredible way to bond with them. Before you head out, there are a few things to think about to ensure you both have the best time. It is important to lay out a plan so that you are prepared. Things like medical packs, food and water reserves and flying or driving situations make traveling less stressful for you and your pet.
Things To Pack When Traveling With Your Dog
While traveling with your dog, make sure they have had a health check with their vet somewhat recently. This will ensure your dog is in good condition to travel. Keep a safety kit nearby, be it in your carry on, suitcase or car. This can be filled with things like pet friendly antibacterial sprays and bandages. It is always wise to know veterinary hospitals in a vicinity you will be staying in as well. Things like leashes, collars, beds or blankets and water/food bowls are good to have on hand as well. Depending on the trip, pack accordingly to what your dog might need if it cannot be sourced where you are.
Safety Measures
Another very important piece to traveling with your dog is identification, in case they get lost or go missing on the trip. Although engraved tags and microchips are both the most common ways to keep track of your pet, both can be harder to use if the tags are outdated or the vet cannot be taken to a vet who can read the chip. It is wise to make sure both are up to date, but an extra and more accessible precaution comes in the form of the SpotLED®Tag.
The SpotLED® houses your pets information in an easy to use tag. You can update their information from your phone or computer. If they are ever lost, anyone with a smart phone can scan the QR Code on the back of the tag. This will pull up the dog’s profile- complete with contact information for you or your pet’s vet. The light on the tag is visible 1/2 mile away- meaning your pet can be seen even in darker conditions. It is always fun to travel with your dog, but it is good to plan for all possibilities. Keep your pet safe while exploring the world with the new SpotLED®Tag. For more information check our www.spotledtag.com or visit us on Facebook and Instagram.
