VACATION MODE ON: IS YOUR PET READY?

As a pet mom and pet-friendly tourism expert, I know how important it is to plan every detail of a trip with our four-legged companions. After all, they deserve all the care and affection, even during vacations.

If you're thinking about embarking on a pet-friendly adventure, the first question is: is your pet ready?

To help with this planning, I've put together some essential tips to help ensure the safety and comfort of your furry friend. Let's go?

1. Vaccines and Up-to-Date Health

Before any trip, whether it's a long one or just a short getaway, it's essential to check that your pet's vaccinations are up to date, including the rabies vaccine. In addition, ensure they are protected against fleas, ticks, and worms. A visit to the veterinarian for a general check-up is indispensable, especially if it's a first trip or a long one.

2. Means of Transportation

Is he used to riding in a car?

If you plan on traveling by car, remember that some pets may experience discomfort or even enjoy the journey. How about taking them for short walks before the trip so they can get used to it?

Extra tip: always use a seatbelt or a suitable carrier. Safety first!

Are you going by plane?

Preparing for air travel should begin well in advance. Check if your pet can travel in the cabin with you or if it will travel separately, as airlines have size restrictions.

In addition to verifying the requirements and ensuring the necessary documentation, it is essential to consider the well-being of your furry friend. For this, crate training, adaptation, and socialization are important.

3. Pet-Friendly Accommodation: Is it Really Pet-Friendly?

Not every place that accepts pets is truly pet-friendly. Confirm with your destination in advance: does the hotel have adequate facilities? Are there restaurants and tours that allow pets? Remember that your pet's experience is just as important as yours!

4. Do you need documentation?

For international travel, some countries require health certificates, specific vaccinations, and even microchips. Find out about the requirements of your chosen destination and organize everything in advance. And, of course, always carry your up-to-date vaccination card, even for trips within Brazil.

If the trip is international, it's also necessary to check the requirements of the destination country. Each country has specific laws and protocols that must be strictly followed.

5. Essential Items for Your Pet's Luggage Bag

Just like you pack your suitcase, your pet also needs a travel kit. It includes:

• Enough food and snacks for the entire trip.
• Bowls for water and food.
• Medications for continuous use and first aid.
• Toys and items that bring comfort.
• Small bags for collecting excrement.
• Bath towel, blanket and bed, a complete set for your furry friend's comfort.
