Traveling with your pets is often an added stress to an already stressful process, especially when it is the busiest travel holiday of the year ? Thanksgiving. With many families starting to plan for travel during the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday, Heidi Ganahl, the CEO and founder of?Camp Bow Wow, has created a list of ?Tips For Easy Travels With Pets? in order to make the process easier on you, your family, and your pet?:

1)???????Check all airline requirements before boarding a plane. See if your pet can travel in a carrier that can be kept under a seat in the cabin or if your pet must travel by freight.

2)???????Familiarize your pet with its carrier. Pets like familiarity. If you plan on keeping your pet inside a carrier while traveling, allow your pet to get used to the environment by placing it in the carrier for a few minutes each day. Gradually lengthen the time until your pet seems at ease with being placed in the carrier.

3)???????Don?t try sneaking your pet on the plane. Although it may seem like a good idea if your pet is small enough to fit in a carrier beneath your seat, do not sneak animals of any size on a plane. There will be repercussions for doing so. Instead, look into travel alternatives such as Pet Airways, which was created specifically for traveling with pets. Although routes are limited, traveling on pet-friendly airlines may reduce times that pets are required to be in a carrier.

4)???????Feed your pet no less than five or six hours before flight time. Give the pet a drink of water no less than two hours before flight. It is very easy for your dog or cat to become sick in transition.

5)???????Find a hotel that will allow your pet to spend the night. Most pet-friendly hotels will not allow pets to be left in the room alone, so also consider taking your dog to a nearby?Camp Bow Wow doggie day care facility if you want to do things during the day. It will cost less than paying for damage incurred by leaving a dog along in a hotel room.

6)???????Make the animal feel at home. Use familiar dishes, blankets, toys and other items from your home to create a sense of comfort for your pet.

7)???????If Fido can?t travel with you, leave him at one of Camp Bow Wows 100+ franchises and?watch him while on-the-go, via?Camp Bow Wow?s unique iPhone Application, which has a web-cam feature that is hooked up at every franchise across the country!
