travel tips:
never leave your pet in a vehicle unattended, it's easy for
the temperature inside a car to rise to more than 100 degrees within
just a few minutes
Make sure you have the proper pet travel gear such as
crates and travel harnesses
If you're flying with your pet plan ahead. Most airlines
allow only a certain number of pets per flight.
During the summer months, pavement, rocks and sand can
become too hot to handle. Keep a few sets of disposable booties on hand
to protect fifi and fluffy's feet from frying.
Does your dog enjoy going for a swim? Put a life vest on
your pet even if he is just watching from inside a boat.
Does the hotel where you're headed allow pets? Make sure it
does before booking the room.
When packing for your room in a pet-friendly hotel, dont'
forget to bring along a sign to place on your door that warns "pets
inside" this way hotel personnel will know to watch for animals before
entering the room.
