When traveling to visit family and friends this summer, more and more pet owners are taking their pets along too. Whether traveling by car, truck, plane or train, Bark Busters, the world’s largest dog training company, offers helpful tips for the estimated 44.8 million U.S. dog owners on how to travel safely with pets.
General Travel Tips
* No matter what your mode of travel, the single best safe practice you can employ to keep your dog safe during the journey is to keep him restrained.
* Affix current identification to your dog. Even better, have him microchipped, which provides a permanent form of I.D. to help ensure he is returned to you if he becomes lost.
* Carry a recent photograph of your dog to make it easier for others to help you look for him if he gets lost during the trip.
