Travel Carrier or Crate
You will require a firm but not heavy crate or carrier—if by air. A one-piece where your pet has room to move about, stand, and lie down as he pleases. On the highway, a firm crate keeps your pet safe from harm and from being jostled about in case of sudden stops, turning over.

Water and Food Supplies
Pack sufficient of your pet’s normal diet to hold meals on board in the event of upset stomachs. Pack a collapsible bowl, and bottled water (not all animals will drink fresh tap water). A collapsible food bowl is extremely handy.
-
Medicines and Health Documentation
Don’t transport the prescription medicine or medication your pet is taking. Your pet should be re-vaccinated when visiting within the state or the motel that demands vaccination certificates from pet-friendly motels.
-
Leash, Harness, and ID Collar
Always carry a good sturdy lead and adjustable collar or harness with you. Current information on the pet ID tag, too. A pet locator as an additional safety precaution for some added peace of mind in venturing out into the great big wonderful world.
-
Comfort Item
Give them something that smells familiar, something that is soothing to them, or even a comfort blanket, as a reminder of comfort sharing. They will be comforted by familiar pet smell during travel hours.
-
Litter Material and Garbage Bags
In the cat, some handy garbage bags to scoop it out readily. In the dog, some liters to fill a handy available mixing bowl, and a litter box to use it in. Paper towels and disinfectant wipes will be handy if things go faulty.
-
Grooming Supplies
Depending on how long you’ll be away for and where you’re traveling to, you can even pack a brush, wipes or shampoo in your daypack with you. Happy, healthy critters = happy, happy adventurers!
-
Pet First Aid Kit
Some bad luck will always happen at the worst possible time. Having a pet first aid kit in a backpack with antiseptic wipes, band-aids, and tweezers so that one can weather it out until one can make it to a vet is useful in an emergency.
-
Travel Documents
For flight or air as service animals, investigate airlines and international travel to take animals as service animals. Microchip test, licensure, or health certificate might be necessary.
-
Chews and Treats
Treats would be great to have an anxious pet distracted or a good boy/good girl treat dog adventure. Chew toys also work at distracting your own fingers on a car ride.
