| Holiday Packing for Fido or Fluffy? The Top 10 Things to Bring Holiday Packing for Fido or Fluffy? The Top 10 Things to Bring Nearly 70% of people travel with their pets, and the upcoming Labor Day weekend will be no exception. And according to PetVR.com, packing for pets is a lot easier than packing for you or the kids. Instead of music, iPods, laptops, movies, make-up and more, it only takes a few commonsense items to keep your pet happy – and safe. Here are the top 10: Pet owners who want a stress-free holiday with their favorite furry companions should bring: 1. Pet Tags with phone numbers: do not let a pet wandering off ruin your vacation. Make sure home, cell and vacation destination phone numbers are on your pets tag. Stores such as Petsmart, Petco and Wal-Marts make it easy to print a quick tag with machines onsite. 2. A photo: A pet photo in your wallet can be a big help in printing flyers with photos if your pet does get lost. (And you should have one anyway to show off to friends and family, right?). 3. A leash and extra collar: Pets get as excited about traveling as we do: make sure they stay on a leash outside and bring an extra collar just in case one gets lost. 4. A blanket or cushion from your pets home bedding: People aren’t the only ones who get homesick. Something from home to sleep with is reassuring to pets in a strange environment. 5. A container of your pets food: The last thing you want is any unpleasant side effect from changing a pets diet on vacation because the pet food you normally use is unavailable. Bring a small container just in case; you can mix it with another brand if needed, or not have to shop right away by bringing a supply. If you are going to be staying in a hotel that allows pets, do not forget a can-opener and spoon for canned food. 6. A water dish: You will want a portable water container for the trip, or any hikes or side trips during your vacation. 7. Treats and toys: Frisbees, balls, toy mice, and tasty treats also make for a happy pet holiday. 8. Baby wipes: These are great for keeping paws clean while hopping in and out of cars, tents, hotels and other lodging, and for cleaning up any accidents. 9. Trash bags and waste removal bags: Donot forget good pet-owner etiquette and pick up after your pet! 10. First aid kit: This is a must for people and pets. Bandages, allergy medicine such as Benadryl, a few aspirin, flea spray if necessary, antiseptic and other items can help ensure a smooth, safe trip. | For more travel tips, go to Pet Travel Tips. |
