This is the travel season, and it's also the time when families and friends go on vacations. It's not always convenient to take our beloved pets with us on these trips. And there are many people who end up not traveling because they are worried about leaving their pets behind.

To prevent you from not traveling out of worry, and to ensure you can leave your pet with peace of mind throughout your trip, you can plan and prepare carefully. Let's see how to prepare.

Choose Someone Who Can Look After Them Carefully

The person who will look after your pet is the most important factor. I think you know that you should not leave your pet without someone to look after them. The person looking after them shouldn't just be a neighbor you simply leave them with; they need to be someone already familiar with your pet or someone who genuinely loves and cares for animals. Only then can you travel with a clear mind, and it will be comfortable for your pet.

Leave Details of Daily Routines

To prevent any change in your pet's daily feeding and living routine, you should provide their usual food and scheduled times in an organized manner. If they have specific times for going out for walks or playtime, let the caregiver know. In addition, it is important for the caregiver to know about things your pet is allergic to or afraid of.

Things You Must Do for Your Pet Before Leaving

If you usually bathe or groom your pet regularly, it is better to do it yourself before you leave for your trip. If vet visits or vaccinations coincide with your travel time, get them done in advance. You should also properly prepare the pet's favorite toys and sleeping areas.

Put a Collar with Contact Information on Your Pet

Even if there is a caregiver, your pet might still escape or get lost while outside, as you are not there yourself. For this, you should put a collar on your pet and include your contact phone number, address, etc., on the collar so people can contact you.

Don't Say Goodbye to Your Pet with Many Words

This is important for pets that are very close to humans. Some people tend to say goodbye using many words before leaving for a trip. This can make the pet more agitated and cause unnecessary distress. Just tell them to be good with the caregiver and let them know when you will be back.

Once these steps are complete, you can confidently leave your pet and go on your trip. Don't forget to call the caregiver frequently to check on the situation!
