Traveling with your pet isn’t always easy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take them along for some much-needed vacation time. Luckily, the animal loving, pet sitting staff at Robinwood Kennel in the Newport area has just the expert tips and tricks you need to enjoy your time together. Not only do they provide premier cat and dog boarding services for when you can’t bring your furry friend along for the ride, but they also know everything you need to know when you can.

Ultimately, an enjoyable trip with your dog or cat all comes down to planning and preparation. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Consider Your Pet’s Temperament & Needs: Naturally, much of the planning will require considering the unique needs and temperament of your pet. For example, some pets need to take their medication frequently, while others may not be able to handle a long plane ride. You should make sure the trip will realistically accommodate your pet’s needs.  
• Visit The Veterinarian: No one wants to deal with a sick travel companion. Ensure your pet is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations by visiting the vet for a checkup. If you’re traveling outside the country, nations including Canada and Australia, require proper health documentation for your pet. Be sure to check any requirements and restrictions out beforehand.
• ID Your Pet: Add a temporary ID tag (with your vacation destination’s address and phone number) to your pet’s collar to help ensure your pet’s safe return in the event of an emergency. You should also take an updated photo of your pet, as well as bring along medical records.
• Pet-Friendly Accommodations: Be sure to book pet-friendly accommodations beforehand. The last thing you want is to be turned away at the door, whether it’s just a pit stop or the final destination.  

From packing ample pet food to securing safe and comfortable airline or car accommodations, there are a myriad of considerations to make before you take off. If your pet is happy and comfortable, the two of you are more likely to enjoy the journey ahead.
