Although it is best to leave your small pet at home with a pet sitter, there are instances when you may want or need to take your pet with you. Here are some important tips to make your travel safe and hassle-free.

• Make reservations

It is best to make reservations ahead of time. There are hotels that don’t allow pets. When arranging overnight accommodations, make sure you will have a non-smoking room.

• Health Exam

When you are going to be traveling interstate, you may need a health certificate issued by your veterinarian. Get this certificate and other required documents at least ten days prior to your departure.

• Make a checklist

It is recommended to make a checklist of everything you and your pet will need. The list will include cages and restraint, food and water, cleaning supplies, and first aid kit.
