At Fly My Pet, we believe preparing your pet for travel is more than just completing paperwork — it’s about ensuring they feel safe, calm, and cared for every step of the way.

Start by introducing your pet to their travel crate well before the journey. Add their favorite toy or a cozy blanket inside so they associate the crate with comfort, not fear. A few short practice sessions will help them feel more relaxed when it’s time to go.

Make sure all travel documents are up to date and neatly organized — this includes vaccination certificates, health checks, microchip details, and import/export permits if required. A pre-travel vet visit is always a smart idea, not just for official clearance but to confirm your pet is fit, healthy, and ready to fly.

On the travel day, avoid feeding your pet a heavy meal right before departure, as it can cause discomfort or motion sickness. Offer a light meal a few hours beforehand and ensure they stay well-hydrated.

Always keep an ID tag on your pet’s collar and clearly label the travel crate with your contact details, feeding instructions, and destination address. It’s a small detail that offers big peace of mind.

Pack a small Fly My Pet travel kit with essentials like a leash, dry food, medication (if needed), wet wipes, and a familiar item — maybe their favorite toy or a scarf with your scent. These comforting touches can make a world of difference.

If your pet tends to get anxious, talk to your vet about natural calming aids or pheromone sprays. Keeping their routine as normal as possible, using a gentle voice, and staying calm yourself helps your pet feel secure throughout the journey.

And finally, before takeoff, don’t forget to give your furry friend a little extra love and reassurance. They might not understand the journey ahead — but with Fly My Pet, they’ll always feel safe knowing you’re by their side.
