Joy Organics shares some expert tips for traveling with your pet

• Make sure you are heading somewhere pet friendly – Whether it is a quick visit or a longer stay, make sure that wherever you are visiting or staying is actually pet friendly. Check your hotels for rules and regulations regarding pets, and make sure restaurants and more will allow your pup.
• Buckle up – Whether you are traveling with a dog or a cat, make sure that they are always buckled up (either in a carrier or harnessed to the seat) when they are in the car. While you might think it is okay to let them wander around the backseat, it seems that veterinarians have a different opinion on this.
• Keep anxiety down – Is your animal a nervous traveler? Then you will want to help them out to keep the anxiety down. From CBD oil to the pet version of Xanax, make sure you talk to your vet for what you should use to keep your pet calm on the road.
• Be prepared – In order to be prepared for a trip, make sure you have everything you need. This means having your animal’s medical records, a number for your vet, a number for a vet where you are visiting, and even a first aid kit. On top of these essentials, make sure you have water, treats, and your animal’s food on hand.
• Practice is important – In terms of practicing for a trip, it can be a good idea to actually take your pet on a ride in the car before heading out for a longer road trip. Make sure to reward your pet for good behavior and calmness in the car.
