Traveling with Pets for the Holidays

If you’re hitting the road (or sky) for Thanksgiving, don’t forget to prepare for your pet’s comfort and safety. At Swan Harbor Animal Hospital in Baltimore, we’ve helped many pet parents plan safe and stress-free travel.

Traveling with Pets for the Holidays

Plan Ahead

If you’re traveling across state lines or flying, make sure your pet’s vaccinations and health certificates are up-to-date. Schedule a quick checkup at Swan Harbor Animal Hospital before you go.

Keep Pets Secure

Use a sturdy carrier or harness to keep your pet safe during travel. Never let pets roam freely in the car — sudden stops can be dangerous.

Pack Pet Essentials

Bring along your pet’s food, medication, leash, waste bags, and favorite toy or blanket to help them feel at home wherever you go.

Traveling with pets takes a little extra planning, but it’s worth it to keep your furry family members safe and happy. For more personalized travel advice, contact Swan Harbor Animal Hospital, your trusted Baltimore veterinarian, this holiday season.
