India, Sept. 10 -- Exploring new places with your furry friend is exciting, but the logistics can be tricky. Just like us, pets can get anxious in unfamiliar settings, so a little planning goes a long way in keeping them calm and comfortable. Here are some tips to help make a road trip with your pet smooth and stress-free. If it's your pet's first time travelling, start small. Short car rides or weekend trips help them adjust before you attempt long-distance travel. Reward them with treats and affection post-trip as it creates a positive association. A safe, well-ventilated carrier is a must as it gives your pet a secure, familiar space and makes travel easier. Ensure it's roomy enough for them to sit, stand, and turn around comfortably. Think of it as your pet's mini suitcase that has essentials like water, food, bowls, poop bags, wet wipes, grooming supplies, and any medication. Bring extra treats to calm nerves. A brisk walk or playtime before the journey can help release pent-up energy and reduce restlessness. Aim for moderate activity which is enough to relax them. Pets need water and light snacks on the go. Carry a collapsible water bowl saves space and keeps hydration hassle-free. ID tags on dog or cat collars that include your phone number and destination address are a must while travelling. Use a temporary tag with your travel contact info if you're away from home. For added safety, consider microchipping. Sudden temperature changes, noise, or cramped spaces can stress pets. Keep things calm with a blanket, avoid direct sun, and play soft music to soothe them.
