That said, worrying about your animal companion can take some of the fun out of your time away, so I am sharing a few tips to help make it as enjoyable as possible for all of you. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are now many more places to stay that are &#8220;pet-friendly&#8221; as well. That said, don&#8217;t just take their word for it. Call and discuss well ahead of time so you are crystal clear about what that means and what the rules will be. Don&#8217;t book anything until you have that information. Some facilities have breed restrictions and may not welcome your dog. Others may require proof of vaccination, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your animals are staying home or coming with you, please consider the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0 Inform your animal about your upcoming departure.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou may not understand what they are saying, but they know exactly what we&#8217;re saying AND thinking. They already know you are going somewhere, but just don&#8217;t have all the details or may have the details incorrectly. Animals take time to process information, so be sure and let them know at least a week ahead of time. Be prepared to discuss the specifics of what is going to be happening. This includes where they will be staying, who will be caring for them, what their day will be like (is someone coming over in the evenings to feed and walk? will they be hiking with you during the day?, etc. Let them know exactly how long you will be gone, why you are leaving, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Visit the boarding facility where they will be staying.<br \/>\n<\/strong>If your animal is going to be staying in a boarding facility, or have a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/hire\/pet-sitting\">trusted pet sitter<\/a><\/span>, visiting the place they will be staying and getting familiar with it can be very helpful. You can also consider a trial run, boarding them overnight well ahead of time. If a sitter is coming, make sure they have an opportunity to meet your fur-babies at least once or twice before you go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Make preparations for comfort items that can ease travel related stress.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your animal is coming with you, bring a favorite blanket, toy, etc. For animals that will be staying at a sitter&#8217;s or outside of your home, having something with your scent can be very comforting. You may also want to consider a calming flower essence. Five Flower Formula in glycerin, is a great overall essence for that purpose.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6834 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243.png\" alt=\"Taking Pets On Vacation\" width=\"704\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243.png 704w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243-300x56.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/petworks-logo-article-e1734545691243-640x119.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><strong>Are you finding this article useful?<\/strong> <\/em>Would you like 100% free access to more articles like these, and free access to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/request_quote\">over 5,000 vetted pet care service professionals<\/a><\/span> throughout the United States? <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/join\">Sign up here <\/a><\/span>for a free Petworks account, and we&#8217;ll email you a\u00a0 10% discount code, good towards your first pet care services booking on Petworks!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Make sure that your animal has plenty of activities to entertain them while you are away.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether you are together or not, enriching their environment will help keep them busy and less likely to get into trouble. Toys, puzzles, special areas for cats to climb and hide in are just a few examples. Taking pets on vacation should include all the fun for your pets!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Stay in touch with your animal companion while you are gone. <\/strong><br \/>\nEach morning, let them know how many more days it will be until you are coming home. Get yourself grounded, sit for a bit, focus on breathing in and out from the heart and send them love. A little pre-planning and deliberately connecting will result in a happier vacation for all!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>About the Author<\/h5>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cindie-ambar-150x150.png\" alt=\"cindie ambar\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cindie-ambar-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cindie-ambar-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cindie-ambar-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cindie-ambar.png 487w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Cindie Ambar&#8217;s motto is &#8220;Happier, Healthier Pets&#8221; and her life purpose is to bring joy, healing and transformation to animals and their human companions.
