Travelling with animals

Pets such as dogs and cats are welcome in many families and households. Many people feel comfortable in the environment of animals. Animal husbandry can become somewhat problematic when the holiday season is due. Because not every where pets are welcome and not every destination is eligible for the four-legged friends.

If you want to travel with a dog or cat, you should first think about the destination of the trip. Long-distance travel, which requires an hour-long journey, is not exactly pleasant for the animal. On the other hand, destinations are better, which are in the immediate vicinity or are reached within a few hours.

The way of moving also wants to be considered. For air travel, most animals must be accommodated in a special cabin. In the noisy and dark room, they have to survive the flight time without their owner. This can lead to stress and discomfort on the part of the animal. One should therefore inform oneself in advance whether the pet can be carried on the lap or better refrain from an air travel for the sake of the animal.

It is also important to bear in mind that certain countries have strict rules on the import of animals. Especially when it comes to overseas, you should check with the veterinarian in advance about the vaccination and quarantine regulations of the respective country. For example, it is only worthwhile to enter Australia if a longer trip is planned, as the quarantine time alone can take a few days to weeks.

Furthermore, you should ask the property if it is allowed to bring a dog or cat. Because not every facility is desirable for animals. Fortunately, there are more and more hotels and other holiday accommodations that adapt to the needs of pet owners.

All those who, for the sake of their pet, cannot even decide to travel, should be advised to inform themselves after appropriate care on site. Because more and more service providers offer the possibility of pet care during the time of the trip. In many guesthouses, dogs and cats are in good hands and the owners do not have to give up a well-deserved holiday.
