🐾 Holiday Travel Tips for Dog Parents! 🐾

As the festive season approaches 🎄, many dog owners are prepping for trips. Leaving your pup behind carries hidden health risks ⚠️—routine disruptions stress dogs out, weakening immunity and raising their risk of digestive upsets, anxiety behaviours, and infections.

Follow these tips to keep your dog healthy while you’re away ✨

✅ Vaccinations & Parasite Control First – Stay up-to-date on core vaccines, ectoparasite (E.g. fleas/ticks 🦟) and endoparasite (E.g. intestinal worms and heartworm 🪱) prevention

✅ Pick Care Option Based on Temperament – Social dogs may thrive in boarding; shy pups prefer a trusted friend’s home. Multi-dog settings mean stricter prevention protocols are a must!

✅ Assign a Reliable Caregiver – Ensure fresh food/water 🥣, walks 🚶♂️, and playtime to stick to routine

✅ Leave Familiar Comforts – Their favourite bed 🛏️ or toy eases anxiety.

✅ Pre-Departure Checklist 📋 – Note vet contacts, feeding rules, and meds — no last-minute chaos!

Key Takeaway: Up-to-Date with Preventions + Minimised Stress = Happy & Healthy Dogs 🥼
