What Should You Pack When Traveling With Your Pet
We love our pets and we want to take them with us everywhere, even on vacation! But traveling with a pet can be a stressful experience. I've been taking my dog on trips for 15 years now, and I've learned a thing or two about what you need to pack to make sure you and your pet is comfortable and happy while traveling.
Here are the five most important things to pack when traveling with your pet:
1.A travel-friendly carry-on bag or container
Depending on your mode of transportation, you'll need a different type of carry-on bag or container for your pet. If you're flying, make sure you select an airline-approved carrier that will fit comfortably under the seat in front of you. If you're driving, you can either put your pet in a carrier in the back seat or invest in a pet seatbelt or other type of restraint system that will keep your pet safe and secure in the car.

You'll need somewhere for your pet to eat and drink while on the go, so don't forget to pack food and water bowls/bottles. Collapsible silicone bowls are great because they're lightweight and easy to store.

3.A supply of food and treats
Even if you're only going on a short trip, it's always best to bring along enough food and treats for your pet in case of delays or emergencies. I like to pack dry kibble for my dog because it's easy to store and won't spoil if we get stranded somewhere; however, canned food or wet food pouches are also good options. And don't forget the treats!
Training treats can be helpful for getting your pet used to their new surroundings, and they'll come in handy if you need to bribe them into cooperating (just kidding, sort of).

4.A favorite toy or two
A few of your pet's favorite toys will help them feel comfortable and relaxed while traveling. Make sure to pack toys that are durable and won't fall apart easily; squeaky toys are usually a good bet since they tend to be more durable than plush toys.
