Pack a gallon of water in the car (or more depending on how long your drive is) so that you will have access to fresh water for your pet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Traveling by Trains, Planes and Automobiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The simplest way to travel with your pet is by car. \u00a0Your pet should travel in a crate that is strapped in so it is stable. \u00a0They make dog seat belts and seats, but these have not been proven to be effective during crashes so we recommend a crate to keep your precious pet safe. \u00a0Car trips means you can take frequent stops for exercise and potty breaks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2767 size-large\" title=\"Traveling with pets\" src=\"http:\/\/52.11.163.214\/patch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"how to travel with pets\" width=\"980\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/12\/adrian-199149-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Traveling by air over the holiday season can be a challenge for even the most patient human. \u00a0We don&#8217;t recommend traveling by air with pets. Even in the cabin, the trip can be incredibly stressful for pets. If you \u00a0must travel by air with your pet, provide them with a blanket or towel in their crate for warmth and in case of accidents.\u00a0To help keep them hydrated fill the water dish for the crate with water and put in the freezer the night before. This way, it will slowly thaw and allow your dog to have some water during the trip.<\/p>\n<p>Trains do not currently allow pets on board so if you are traveling by train, you will have to leave your furry family members behind.<\/p>\n<p>If you are traveling long distances, consider leaving your beloved pet with a relative or with a <a
