The number of people traveling with pets is on the rise and the pet industry has responded with increased options in pet travel accessories.
To prevent anxiety, let your Furry Traveler become familiar with your new pet travel accessories at home prior to leaving on your trip.
Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) November 11, 2010 - Nancy Cribb, owner of Furry Travelers, Inc., a company dedicated to make traveling with pets safe and easy by offering the latest in pet travel products, is excited to introduce the addition of an array of new pet travel accessories in time for the holiday travel season.
"Pets are a part of the family", Cribb says, "It is important that they travel just as safely and comfortably. Furry Travelers is constantly searching the pet industry for new and unique pet travel products to improve the travel experience for both owner and pet."
Safety should be the priority. When traveling by car, keep pets in a secured crate for the safest way to travel. However if a crate is not an option, a pet safety harness is the next best thing. A study by Bark Buckle UP states that only about 2% of pet owners secure their pets while traveling. "We would not think of driving without buckling in our family and ourselves so there is no reason we cannot do the same for our pets. I think it is just a matter of getting into the habit." Cribb says. "Most dogs adjust very quickly to a safety harness. A secured dog is less of a distraction for the driver and safer for the dog in case of an abrupt stop or accident".
Remember to consider a travel bowl designed for in-car use so your pet will stay properly hydrated throughout the trip. Other pet travel products include everything from dog booster seats that allow small dogs to safely look out the car window, microfiber seat covers that keep your dog comfortable and your car clean, and all natural anxiety remedies to calm anxious travelers. Always remember Fido's favorite toys and treats, and do not change from their usual dog food as that can cause stomach upset.
Traveling by plane can be more complicated and stressful than traveling by car. Always call the airlines prior to booking a ticket to confirm their policies regarding in-cabin transport regulations such as the size of carrier allowed, whether a health certificate from a vet is needed and any other requirements or restrictions that may apply. Do not simply count on a carrier that states it is "Airline Approved". Each airline has specific restrictions and it is important to know them ahead of time.
