Travel Petiquette
For a pleasant getaway with your pet and to make sure you are welcomed back, here are some common “petiquette” tips to keep in mind:
- Make sure your pet is up-to-date with vaccinations and has a current ID tag.
- Take time to locate the nearest veterinarian to where you’ll be staying.
- Book a room on a ground floor near an exit for easy bathroom breaks and always clean up after your pet.
- Ask the front desk staff for recommendations on the best places to walk your dog.
- Don’t leave your pet unattended in your hotel room. If you must, alert hotel staff.
- Keep your pet on a leash.
- Have water available for your pet at the beach or on a warm day.
- Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle on a warm day.
- Prepare a pet travel kit. Depending on the mode of transportation, pack the essential items for your pet including dry food, treats, a collapsible bowl, medications and first aid items, travel documents like a rabies certificate, and a favorite soft toy or blanket.
