Firstly, this question is very common among owners who have four-legged children and have doubts about when they should travel with their dog.
Some tutors already have trips booked, others want to start planning their next vacation and think: To take it or not to take it, cruel doubt.
The answer is quite simple: It depends on what the family’s routine is like, where you are going to travel with your pet and what your dog’s profile is.
Therefore, the trip can take place when, where and for the duration that the tutors prefer.
The important thing is to keep in mind the animal’s well-being, safety and comfort for the family during these days.
Family routine for traveling with dog
There are families that have the culture of being in the company of the pet in activities outside the home such as going to restaurants and outings that allow the pet to enter.
On the other hand, there are those who have never taken an “outside” tour and never thought of that possibility.
There is therefore no rule to decide when is the best time to travel with your pet!
That said, it’s important to think that if you’ve decided to travel with your dog or cat, adapting it to this new experience is a good option.
Start using the transport box in the family routine and at home, adapting with the leash or collar.
In addition to, of course, conditioning the animal to behave properly with more people and animals around.
What is the best destination for traveling with your pet?
The final destination chosen to travel with a dog or cat is totally dependent on the tastes of their owners. It can be a trip national or international.
For example, more adventurous people tend to choose places with more nature, where exploring is the main keyword.
However, you should pay attention to whether the dog also shares this taste.
Pay attention to the temperature of the place. Animals with respiratory problems, especially those with short snouts, such as Pugs, Bulldogs and Shih Tzus, have more difficulty breathing in very hot places.
On the other hand, older animals tend to feel colder , and destinations with very low temperatures may not be the best options.
To avoid any kind of problem, studying the destination is a very valid attitude before making a decision.
Advantages of traveling with a dog or cat
There are many advantages of traveling with your pet and the most important is knowing that that “squeeze in the heart” for leaving the animal “alone” will not exist.
That way, the certainty that your four-legged companion will be in the company of the one you love the most (your own tutor), will be taken care of (in every way) and having fun at the same time, is another advantage.
The feeling of relief and accomplishment is the reward for any animal lover and pet parent.
Besides, incredible experiences happen on trips and are unique opportunities in people’s lives and being accompanied by all family members is simply sensational.
Planning to travel with a dog or cat
As we saw above, to travel with your pet in a perfect way, you need a special and very detailed planning.
Imagine yourself on a trip with a child. You need to keep a checklist in mind:
- Ideal destination
- Correct accommodation
- Available tours and restaurants
- Proper transport
- Emergency veterinary clinics
Myth about traveling with animals
A myth to be disproved is: thinking that the trip will be more expensive for taking the pet.
Today, the fees for animals in hotels and inns are not absurd, they are similar to daily rates, or fixed fees and sometimes they are not even charged.
The world is changing in terms of how animals are treated and those who are in Tourism have noticed this too.
One thing is guaranteed: if you want to, you and your pet can go to anywhere in the world.
That way, if you want a safe, perfect trip with the perfect planning for you and your family, count on the experience and experts of PETFriendly Turismo.
