Let’s Get Ready to Travel!
Book Smart: Choose Pet-Friendly Places
Start by hunting for hotels and travel spots that welcome pets with open arms! Some places even offer pet beds, special menus, or play parks. Always check pet rules before you book, so your trip is comfy for everyone.
Tip: Look for hotels in Goa, Kerala, or Himachal where your pet can run and play!
Pack the Essentials
Imagine your pet has a suitcase. What’s inside? Don’t forget:
- Their favorite food and snacks.
- Water bottle and bowl.
- Leash, collar with tags, harness.
- Comfy crate or carrier.
- Poop bags or litter box.
- Health records and medicines.
- Favorite toy or blanket for extra snuggles!
Practice Makes Paw-fect
Before your journey, let your dog or cat spend time in their crate or carrier. Try short car rides or visits to a park so your pet gets used to traveling. Praise them—a little treat always helps!
Safety First, Adventure Always
In cars, use seatbelts or harnesses. For trains and flights, pet carriers keep cats and small dogs secure. Never leave your pet alone in the car, even for a short time. A happy pet is a safe pet!
Find Cool Destinations
Pets love new smells and sights! Explore beaches, hill stations, and city parks that allow animals. Lonavala, Goa, Kasauli, and Kerala are full of pet-friendly spots. Your furry explorer will thank you for fresh grass, new trails, and meeting new friends.
Healthy Pet, Happy Trip
Visit your vet before any trip. Make sure shots are up to date, ask about travel meds if needed, and get tips for keeping your pet comfortable. A check-up means fewer worries on the road.
