Summer Pet Safety

Keep your dog COOL while on the go this Summer! Sometimes what holds back a road trip is our furry friends. Here are a few cool tips to keep in mind: 1. Pets should never travel on laps. Canine safety seats are available in pet stores & cats should be in carriers. 2. Never let a dog ride in the back of a pick up truck, which wisely is banned is some states. 3. Some Airlines will allow you to take pets on board if they are small enough to fit under seat, another Airline is PetAirways.com which will fly any size pet. 4. Your pet should have a pet ID tag or ID microchip & you should always carry pet's current rabies vaccination. 5. There are more pet friendly hotels, motels, B&B, and campgrounds than ever before. Some places require deposits & offer pet perks. You can find pet friendly accommodations on: PetTravel.com, Petswelcome.com, Doginmysuitcase.com, 1clickpethotels.com and TravelPets.com get written confirmation when booking. 6. Travel without Fleas: A warming trend is contributed to fleas surviving & living longer. Heartworm: vet can use a shot which works for six months. Make sure you get prevention. 7.
