The Pawfect Travel Checklist: 10 Essentials for a Stress-Free Road Trip with Your Pet

Planning to hit the road with your furry friend? That’s so cool!

 

Stressed about what to carry and what not? Not cool. 

With a little preparation you can ensure a fun and stress-free road trip for your furry friend and yourself.

 

Wondering how? Don’t worry! We got you.

Here’s The Pawfect Travel Checklist from The Pawfect Story to keep you stress-free for every amazing moment during the trip:

• Biscuits

Pack your pet’s favourite biscuits for the trip. Measure and organise the biscuit portions in separate zip lock bags so that you don’t have to carry the entire package. Pack 2-3 days extra food beyond your planned trip in case of delays or breakdown. 

Happy Tummies, Happy Trips!

•  Water and Bowls

Hydration is the key to your pet’s happy journey. Sudden changes in taste of water might lead to an upset stomach or refusal to drink. Make sure you carry enough water to keep your furry friend hydrated and relaxed throughout the journey. 

While you are out for your road trip, carrying the usual stainless steel or standard ceramic bowl is a big “NO”. Trust us when we say, “Get a bamboo woven single bowl or a collapsible silicone pet food & water bowl.” You can easily clip this to a carrier or leash and it takes up zero space. 

• Collars

 A pet collar is absolutely non-negotiable. It is not just a fashion statement for your pet but their passport back home. You can also attach a GPS tracker to the collar for extra safety. 

 

4. Leash and Harness

Think of the harness and the leash as ‘lifelines’ for your pet. 

Standard Collars might cause serious neck injuries during a hard brake. A padded harness is a must-have for sudden stops, walks and bathroom breaks. Skip the usual retractable leash and opt for a 4-6 foot sturdy leash that provides better control in crowded spaces.

   Pet Bed and Bottoms

Carry your pet’s familiar bed so that they stay relaxed, comfortable and calm during their nap time. Also, pack a non-slip bottom to place under the pet bed to prevent the bed from slipping away from the seat during sharp turns and bends. 

 

6. Plush & Chew Toys

Pack your pet’s top two favourite toys and don’t choose hard chews for them. Carry soft toys or plush puzzles to keep your pet entertained.

7. Rope & Tug Toys

Do not forget to pack some Rope & Tug toys for your furry friend. They can be a great option for your pet’s massive energy outlet. The Non-woven fabric sound-emitting toy from The Pawfect Story is a perfect choice for your pet when you hit the road for an adventure with your pet. 

 

8. Paw Cleaners

Prepare a small bag containing Paw Cleaners and Hair Removal Comb to keep your pet’s paws clean without the need for a tub.    

  

9. Medication & First-aid

Don’t forget to keep a medical kit for your pet. Any medication that your pet might need during the trip must be right there in your pouch. Be well in advance prepared for any minor accidents so that you remain stress-free from the time you get out of the driveway to the time you come back home safely. 

 

10. Garbage Bags

Keep a few bin bags ready so that you are absolutely ready to face the unpredictable challenges on the road trip. 

 

Now that we have broken the list down to top 10 essentials, we hope your journey with your furry baby is a memorable one.
