Today is National Pet Travel Safety Day, and a good time to review the things we can do to keep our pets the happiest (and safest!) any time we travel with them!

The height of holiday travel has passed – airlines carried over 45 million passengers this season, and even more took to the roads at least 50 miles from home since December 16, 2016.

As pets are part of the family, many traveled with their families, and will continue to do so through this new year. January 2 is National Pet Travel Safety Day, and we want to share with you some tips for keeping your pet safe however and whenever he travels with you.

    • ALWAYS make sure your pet has a collar and tag that has your name, phone number and secondary contact number. It’s a wise idea to be sure well beforehand that your pet is microchipped (always a good safety measure). Always be sure to take a couple of current pictures right before you head out just in case the worst happens and you are separated.
