Planning a trip with your furry sidekick is totally doable with a little prep. Here’s a quick checklist to keep everyone comfy and calm on the move.

What to Bring for Your Dog or Cat

1. Secure carrier or harness
   Cats: use a Small Pet Carrier.
   Dogs: use a travel-safe harness or a Dog Travel Carrier sized for comfort and safety.
2. Food & water (plus bowls) Pack their usual food and a Collapsible Dog Bowl (great space-saver for water and meals).
3. Litter or waste bags Cats: a Foldable Cat Litter Box with a small bag of litter. Dogs: plenty of Biodegradable Dog Poop Bags—don’t get caught short.
4. Comfort items A favourite blanket or travel mat; a compact Pet Beds For Dogs can help settle anxious travellers.
5. Documents Vaccination records, microchip info, and your vet’s contact details—especially important for hotel stays or trips abroad.
6. Clean-up kit Pet-safe wipes, small towel, and a roll of kitchen paper—accidents happen.
7. Lead, collar, and ID tag Even with a microchip, visible ID speeds up reunions if you get separated.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Do a trial run: a short drive helps you spot what to tweak (carrier position, water breaks).
• Plan regular stops: give dogs sniff-time and a drink; keep cat breaks calm and contained.
• Check pet rules: confirm hotel, train, or border requirements before you go.
• Stick to routine: keep feeding, walking, and rest times as close to normal as possible.
