A crate for the pet is not to skimp on. You must buy it in the right size and sturdy for the pet. A crate which is too small in size will not be comfortable for the pet and the one which is too big will make your pet slip out and toss around while moving.
If you are traveling by aircraft make sure to check with the airline the weight, material, and design of crate that is allowed to be carried in the airlines. For the safety of your pet, a crate with an opening to refill food or drinks if required is always advisable.
Stickers on the crate specifying that there is an animal inside are also good for the pet. A cushion or blanket inside the crate can make your pet travel comfortable inside the crate.
Choose a spacious crate where they are able to stand, sit and lie comfortably.
For any reason, if you are foregoing a crate make sure to buckle them up to a seat safely and do not let them peep out of the windows during road travel.
Walk Your Pets Frequently
Rest Stops are Best Stops!!!
If the travel is by car plan the pet travel with frequent stops in between. Generally, pets love to walk around and explore. This becomes much more important while traveling than being at home.
Pets need to relieve themselves of the stress of traveling sitting in one place by walking around in fresh air. Pets are also prone to carsickness just like us.
Keeping windows open and taking them out of the car for frequent walks is the only way to help them enjoy and for you to ease the pet travel. Such walks also help them to pass their nature calls and get back to the car comfortably.
Never rush, choose a route that lets you stop frequently to let your pouch and yourself stretch and relax.
Pet-Friendly Hotels For A Peaceful Pet Travel
Halt at the right place shouldn’t be a fault!!

So, pet-friendly hotels with a room on the lower floor are always preferred for the comfort of pets for halting while traveling. There are also many hotels which provide kennel facilities with long rows of kennel arranged
Hotels with large rooms where the pet can run about and be free to walk are a good choice for the pet to relax after a long journey.
Use “Do Not Disturb” Sign
Tranquillize is never nice for pets!!!
When you leave your pets back at the hotel it is always advisable to hang the “Do Not Disturb “sign on the door. If the pets are left alone in the room they may relax or sleep.
When there is a knock on the door or when the bell rings, this may disturb the pet’s peace of mind. It may start howling and may create a lot of disturbance in the hotel environment.
A do not disturb sign will help the pet take its own time to relax without being disturbed and frightened by unnecessary noises. An attempt by the hotel employees to enter is also a disturbing act for the pets and they may get frightened of the strangers.
To give its personal space without disturbance a do not disturb board is always good to hang on the door and make the pet travel pleasant for you also.

Feeding While Traveling
Check what you pet munches and sips!!!
Avoid feeding your pet, meals in large in quantity as digestion may not be normal while traveling. A small meal to stave off the hungry appetite must be enough for the pet travel.
Feeding heavy will not only cause digestion issues it may end up in an uncomfortable situation for the pet. Your pet may not enjoy the travel if he has a big appetite and cannot manage without a large meal. Hence support him with small meals at regular intervals.
Feeding small yet filling meals are good for pets and also for us while traveling. Consult your Vet on foods to give your pet when they travel.
Especially when you travel by air do not give anything and everything to the pet to eat. A minimal amount of food as prescribed by the vet is always advisable for a joyful pet journey.
