Summer holidays are here, and you might be preparing for a vacation with your pet. Whether you're heading to the beach, going on a road trip, or hopping on a plane, it's essential to ensure a stress-free and comfortable journey for both you and your pet. To help you prepare, we have compiled a list of our top 7 must-haves for travelling with your pet this summer.
1. Pet carriers
A pet carrier is an absolute must when travelling with your pet. It provides a safe and comfortable space for them during the journey. When choosing a pet carrier, opt for one that is the right size for your pet to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Consider the Stefanplast Gulliver Delux Carrier or Viaggo Airline carrier.
2. Comfort crates
A comfort crate is a great option for pets who may feel anxious or overwhelmed during travel. These crates are designed to create a cosy and secure environment for your pet. Look for features such as soft padding, breathable mesh panels, and secure locking mechanisms. The Wagworld Car Seat Protective Dog Hammock or MPETS Comfort Crate is an excellent choice for car travel, providing comfort and protection for your pet.
3. Pet strollers
If you have a small pet or a pet with limited mobility, a pet stroller can be a game-changer. It allows you to take your pets on walks or sightseeing adventures without them having to exert themselves. Look for a sturdy and lightweight pet stroller with ample storage space for your pet's essentials, like the Olly & Max Pet Stroller.
4. Calming medication
Travelling can be stressful for pets, especially if they are prone to anxiety. Calming medication can help alleviate their stress and make the journey more enjoyable for everyone involved. Shop our wide range of calming products available for dogs and cats, such as the Calmeze range for dogs & cats.
5. Biodegradable waste bags
Travelling responsibly includes being mindful of the environment. When you're on the go with your pet, don't forget to pack biodegradable waste bags. These bags are eco-friendly and help keep the surroundings clean. Remember to dispose of them properly in designated bins.
6. Travel bottles
Keeping your pet hydrated and well-fed during travel is crucial. Travel bottles are a convenient way to carry water and food for your pet. Look for bottles with spill-proof designs and detachable bowls for easy feeding and drinking on the go. The Olly & Max Travel Best Friends Water Bottle and the Olly and Max Collapsible Bowl are excellent options for keeping your pet refreshed and re-fueled during the journey.
7. Pet accessories bag
Staying organised is key when travelling with your pet. A dedicated pet accessories bag can help keep all their essentials in one place. Include items such as their kibble, toys, treats, waste bags, hygiene wipes and any other items specific to your pet's needs. This way, you'll have everything readily available whenever you need it.
In conclusion, travelling with your pet can be a rewarding and memorable experience.Investing in the right travel essentials, such as biodegradable waste bags, travel bottles, and a pet carrier, can ensure the comfort of your pet and create a stress-free and enjoyable journey for both of you.
