1. The purrfect carrier
Think of the airline-approved soft-sided carrier as your pet's personal first-class cabin. The Sherpa Original Deluxe is my go-to choice—it's cozy, comfortable, and available in our shop. Your furry friend will feel right at home inside, and you'll feel confident knowing they're safe and secure.
2. Pack like a pro
The night before takeoff, play pet-packing pro. Line the carrier with pee pads, and stash extras for any unexpected pit stops. Travel-size wipes, a leash collar, potty bags, treats, collapsible water bowls, and their favorite toys are a must. And guess what? Every pup deserves a special pal—a plush buddy with a heartbeat to comfort them throughout the journey.
3. Last-minute pit stop
Before stepping onto the plane, let your pup stretch those paws and take a final potty break. Seek out grassy spots like the waiting lot, but if your fur baby is still in their puppy stages, avoid animal relief areas. Sneak into a family bathroom, lay down pee pads, and let them relieve themselves without a hitch.
4. Feed light, fly bright
Eating a full meal before takeoff? Not the best idea, my friend. Keep meals light on travel day to prevent mid-flight accidents. Hydration is key, so offer small sips of water and a treat or two to keep spirits high. After all, nobody wants turbulence in the form of tummy troubles.
5. Plan ahead, paws and all
Secure your pet's spot in the skies by checking them in ahead of time and paying the required pet fee. Some airlines have limited space for pets on board, so reserve your pet's place well in advance. A stress-free journey is the best kind, and a little pre-planning ensures smooth soaring.
Bon voyage, furry explorer!
