Preventing Fido's Jet Lag
- When traveling by air, if the dog went in the cabin with you, as soon as you get off the plane (even before you get your bags) take your dog out for a walk. If your dog was in cargo, Get your dog before you claim your baggage and take it for a walk. When you get to your destination, spend some time with your dog and get it adjusted to its new surrondings. Try to keep the same schedule as you would have at home. Good luck. Hope you have a good journey!

Stubborn Dog?
- When travelling with your dog by air, it is easy to put a stubborn dog in its kennel by backing it in. It is a natural reaction for a dog to push backwards in defense; thus walking itself backwards into the cage. If you try to push it forward into the cage, the dog will resist by pushing backwards.

Too Many Pets?
- If staying at a small establishment that accepts pets, it is good to find out how many OTHER animals, (dogs, cats, etc.) will be there at the same time. That way you know what to expect upon arrival at your destination.

Vet Sense
- Important pet pre-travel planning steps:

Before you go, gather information regarding veterinarians in the area of your destination: Ask your own vet if s/he has any associates in the area.
Check with members of newsgroups on the web for vets who are trusted and low cost. Rescue groups often have this information, and many are very involved with newsgroups.
Check on hours of availability. You may need to have two names handy, one for normal hours, and one for after hours emergencies.
Keep the address and phone number of the vets you've found with your vaccination records.
This may be a good time to obtain medical insurance for your companion animal.

While Driving ...
- If the weather is warm, use your air conditioning. Always make sure that air is being circulated frequently. Restrain your pet, using a pet seat belt or secured carrier. Never let your pet ride unrestrained in the back of a truck. Don't allow your pet to stick its head out the window. Take breaks at least every three hours to allow your pet to exercise and relieve itself.
