Traveling with your pet: a stress-free checklist
Documents, carriers and calming tips for smooth trips with your companion.
A little planning turns travel into a calm experience for you and your pet. Start with an up-to-date vaccination record and, for crossing borders, check microchip and health-certificate requirements well in advance.
Use a secure, well-ventilated carrier your pet already knows, and never leave an animal in a parked car. Bring water, familiar food and a favourite blanket. For anxious travellers, ask your vet about calming aids and short practice trips before the big journey.
