It can be fun to travel with our pets. Our travel checklist is a great way to check that you have remembered appropriate supplies and paperwork. If travelling to a different country, be sure to check their rules and pet specific requirements that may be required at the boarder. Also, be sure to let us know of your travel plans so we can make appropriate recommendations for any heartworm/parasite prevention, travel anxiety or travel sickness for your cat.
