Going on a vacation? It is important to prepare your pet for the trip in advance and give them easy to digest food, say experts.

Prepare your pet for the trip

The basic step is to make sure your pet is comfortable with the trip. You can do it by taking them on short drives first, and increase the distance gradually. Analyse how your pet reacts to a long distance journey.* Make lodging plans in advance: It can be a challenge to find rentals that will accept your pet, particularly at the last moment. By booking ahead, you will ensure that both you and your pet have a safe place to stay.

Keep your pet safe and secure with proper ventilated carrier

The carrier you will take along with you should be hygienic and spacious for your pet, so that if their muscles get tired after sitting, they can stand in it. If you forget the carrier, don't allow your animal to ride with its head outside the window.

Prepare a pet-friendly travel kit

You should carry their basic kit like bowls, plastic bags, medication, first aid box and documents like identity proof. You can also keep a pillow or a favourite toy with them.

Feed your dog with easy to digest food and bottled water
