✈️ Pet Safety Checklist Before You Travel✈️

Whether your pet is staying at a boarding facility or with a sitter, these safety steps will help ensure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe while you're away: 

🧳 Prep Their Belongings

• Food & treats: Bring enough for the full stay, plus a little extra. Consistency helps avoid stomach issues.
• Comfort items: Include a favorite toy, blanket, or something that smells like home.
• ID tags & microchips: Double-check that your pet’s ID tags are secure and accurate. Ensure microchip info is updated.

📝 Documentation & Communication

• Emergency contacts: Leave contact info for yourself and someone local in case of emergencies.
• Feeding & routine instructions: Provide written instructions for feeding, potty habits, medications, and behavioral quirks.
• Vet info: Include your vet’s contact information and preferred emergency animal hospital.

🚗 Drop-Off Day Tips

• Arrive calm: Avoid rushing. Keep your own stress low—pets can sense it!
• Exercise beforehand: A walk or play session before drop-off helps burn off nervous energy.
• Don’t make it dramatic: Say a quick, calm goodbye to help ease separation anxiety.

🏠 If Your Pet Is Staying at Home

• Pet sitters & tech tools: If you're using a pet sitter or in-home service, consider setting up a pet camera so you can check in remotely. Some even toss treats, offer two-way audio, or send motion alerts—great for peace of mind while you're away!🐾
