- Comments Off on Care Tips When Traveling With Pets
If you’re planning on traveling for a long period of time, it may be a good idea to take your pet with you rather than kenneling or boarding them, which can get very pricey. However, you will have to make certain adjustments so that your furry friend can make an easy transition from home life to traveling life. Here are some tips to care for pets while taking them on your traveling adventures:
1) Plan ahead, whether you will be in an RV going camping or driving from city to city on a national tour, be sure to check where the nearest pet hospitals are, and plan your routes accordingly.
2) Bring something familiar from home, like the same bed/crate, the usual food and toys, etc. Animals don’t usually like to have their way of living to be interrupted, and bringing a bit of home with them on the trip will soothe and relax them.

This Old Order Amish community of about 1,500 was founded in 1949 and is a very conservative, traditional order that shuns the conveniences of electricity, phones, cars and other gadgets that dominate our modern way of life. These “plain” people, as they like to call themselves, intentionally [...]
