Before going, take your dog to the vet to confirm its health and vaccines are current. If your destination requires health certificates or immunization records, get them.
Ensure your dog has a secure collar with an updated contact information ID tag. Consider microchipping your dog for added identification in case they get missing.
Get a secure and comfy travel crate or harness for your dog. For their protection, this is crucial during car trips. Get your dog used to the box or harness before the journey.
Include your dog's favorite toys, blankets, and bedding to create a cozy setting. Having familiar scents can reduce travel stress.

Prepare your dog for temperature variations by carrying a coat for chilly climates or shielding their paws from scorching pavement.
Allow your dog to exercise before long travels. An exhausted dog is more likely to travel calmly.
