How to Handle Spring Break Traveling with Your Pet

Few things are better than getting away during Spring Break and taking a relaxing vacation, especially if your four-legged friend tags along. Make sure you're prepared for safe travels before heading out on an adventure with your pet.

#1: Visit your veterinarian before traveling

Before traveling, visit your veterinarian to ensure your pet is healthy and current on necessary vaccinations. If you're flying or crossing borders, you likely will need a valid, current health certificate for your pet.

#2: Follow rules and regulations

Whether you're traveling by plane, train, or automobile, understand the stipulations that may be in place. Airlines may not allow pets to fly if the temperature at your departure or arrival location is too cold or too hot.

#3: Microchip your pet

If you have not already microchipped your pet, there is no better time to do so than before a trip. This permanent identification form cannot be removed or lost, making it the best way to guarantee a happy reunion if your pet becomes lost while traveling.
