Not all pets find travel easy. If your pets find travel anxiety-inducing or have medical issues that make traveling a little more stressful, there are some basic steps that you can take to make your pets more comfortable. For example, you can take familiar blankets and toys with you, plan as many comfort breaks as you can, and get them used to bustling environments beforehand. If your pet's behavior starts to cause problems, however, you can book a virtual vet appointment to get a veterinarian’s opinion.
