How to travel with your pets!

Author: The Vet Shed   Date Posted:26 February 2020 

It is a time when many people go on holidays and set out on road trips and travel to various locations around Australia. If you are taking your pet with you on holidays, it's important to consider a few things before you set off on your journey.

1. Prepare for your trip

You will need to research your destination to determine what you will need! If the location is in a tick affected area you will need to ensure your pet is up to date with their parasite protection! 

Having a first aid kit for your pet is part of being a responsible pet owner. All pet owners should have a first aid kit in their household. It is especially important when you are travelling and your pet gets injured and immediate veterinary attention is not possible. Human first aid kits often lack the important items you need to treat your pet.

First Aid Kit for Pets

A handy pack full of essential items for a pet first aid kit. Our first aid kit is a more complete kit than standard first aid kits avalible on the market. All packaged in a handy portable pack. Great to take with you when travelling. Keep at home or have in the car. You never know when an animal will need your help and you will be thankful that you had this kit!

1. Grab the Essentials

What type of trip are you going on? A beach trip of maybe camping? Whatever it is you may need differet supplies. 

The Car Trip

A dog that is restrained is a dog that is under control and cannot cause driver distraction In the event of an accident a restrained dog is less likely to become airborne, decreasing the risk of injury to the dog and passengers or other vehicles

Travel Anxiety

If your pet has learned to associate a car ride with unpleasant experiences, it may be worthwhile taking gradual steps in the weeks prior to making the experience more enjoyable.
