Traveling With Your Pooch? 4 Essential Tips You Need To Know

If your pup suffers from anxiety another idea is to include a stuffed animal or tee-shirt that's covered in your scent in the kennel. Don't include a shirt that's too large because your Pug needs enough room. You can also talk to him throughout the flight, reassuring him that he's doing a great job.

1. Make sure the crate or kennel is roomy enough

As long as your dog will be locked in a cage for several hours, so you have to check that the cage or the crate is roomy and big enough in order he can feel free in it and be able to get up and turn around.

2. Avoid toys, stuffy blankets, or bulky bedding inside the cage

Avoid using blankets or stuffy bedding as it makes it hot and uncomfortable for dogs. Put some extra food in a zip-lock bag and stick it to the front of the cage, just in case it is needed.

3. Your dog's papers should be in order

You have to check with the authorities that your pet’s paperwork is completed in order to avoid any sudden surprises. Don’t also forget that you have to prepare a health certificate for your dog and that it shouldn’t be more than 10 days old from the date of travel.

4. Write key information on the collar

Always write key information on your dog’s collar to avoid being terrified for him as he can run away or being lost. Key information should include your name, and number, and the dog’s name.

Remember that your Pug will feed off of your energy, so try to stay calm while you are traveling. Chances are if you are calm that your pooch will stay calm too.

If there's an area you can put your hand through, pet your pup while he's in his kennel and give him lots of love. There are always treats you can slip through to him too! Have a safe flight and check out more tips on Ur Dogs.
