Pets are primarily part of the family. It is always sad to leave them when taking family trips or going on vacations. However, safety is a major concern when it comes to travelling with your pets. You want to make sure that your pets are protected and catered for during the trips.
For inspiration, here are some of the basic domestic pet transport gears that you will need:
1. Pet access ramp
A pet access ramp will help your pet, especially puppies to embark and disembark from the vehicle. The ramp makes work easier for both of you as you do not have to carry them up and down the car every time there is a stopover.
2. Car/plane seat
Regardless of the mode of transport, you want to make sure that your pet is safe. The seat is crucial as it is custom-made for the pet to offer specialized protection as the normal car seat belts do not accommodate the size and physique of the pet.
3. Zipline and leash
This is a “clump and go” gear that serves as a safety precaution for the pet. The leash can also double up to help you with the pet walks. It plays the double roles which save you money and storage space in the car as you do not have to carry an extra pet walker.
4. Dog travel bag
This is an integral part of the travel essentials as you do not want your pet to starve. Instead of buying food on the go, it is always easier to pack food for your pet from home. You are at least assured of the kind of meals they already enjoy. The bag can also be used to carry toys and extra poop potty in case the pet need to relieve themselves.
5. A silicon poop back
You can opt to buy this bag for your pet and carry it separately. The amazing thing about these bags is that they can stick outside your car, so you do not have to move poop inside the vehicle. You can attach them on the rear part of the car and dispose off the poop appropriately once you arrive.
6. Terrain pack
This is a sort of a jacket for your pet, depending on the needs for your travel. If the journey has many stopovers or hikes, you will need a terrain pack to make the pet more comfortable. On this jacket gear are clips that you can fasten to ensure their movements are strained especially for the puppies.
7. Water bowls
Your pets need a lot of hydration during travel. The water bowls are designed to stick on the car seat and hold the water appropriately to avoid spilling when on the move.
DIY domestic pet transport is fun and tasking at the same time. It needs proper preparation and acquisition of the right gears to make the transportation easy and enjoyable for both the pet and the owners.
