| Flying with a pet can be difficult if you're not prepared. Find a pet-friendly airline like Virgin Atlantic which has a rewards program called Flying Paws. Most airline companies require a health certificate to fly, so be sure to do your research. This a certified document that must be obtained within 10 days prior to leaving along with the length of your trip from a veterinarian. It indicates that your pet is healthy enough to fly. Also, be sure to read your pet airlines' fine print. It will let you know which breeds they accept or if they can sit in the aircraft cabin or cargo area. Finally, it is very important to keep your pet relaxed throughout your journey. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Traveling in a car with your pet is easier than by plane. However, there are things to be aware of, such as, safety and keeping your pet comfortable. It is important you and your pet abide the law with safety in mind (see image below). You can put your pet in a harness which will keep you and your pet safe. This will prevent your pet from roaming around in your car and distracting you from driving. In addition, be sure to take a lot of breaks. You and your pet will need to stop to stretch and go to the bathroom. Bring plenty of water, food, treats and toys to make their trip more enjoyable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
