Before any long trip, a quick check-up at the vet is a must. This is to make sure your dog is healthy and has all their shots. Some places even ask for health papers to prove your dog is vaccinated, so don't skip this step!
If your dog hasn't traveled much, start with small trips. A short car ride or time in a crate can help them get used to the idea. When your dog sees their crate as a safe place, they’ll feel more at ease during the actual trip.
Make sure your dog listens to simple commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." It keeps them safe and makes things easier for you. Teaching them to be quiet when told can also be handy, especially on planes or in shared spaces.
Always check the rules about dogs where you're going. Some places might have restrictions or not be dog-friendly at all. It’s best to know ahead of time to avoid any surprises.
Instead of buying anything new your dog's journey, bring old blankets and toys that already have their scent on. This was calm your dog if they;'re feeling anxious.
