Strategies for Taking a Relaxing Holiday with Your Canine Companion
When planning a vacation with your furry friend, there are several factors to consider to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for both you and your dog.
Firstly, it's essential to prepare your dog for the trip. Familiarising your dog with its transport box is beneficial, as it helps reduce stress during travel. Additionally, having your dog's own blanket, toys, and familiar food at the destination can help your pet feel more at home quickly.
For dogs traveling outside the EU, additional conditions may apply. A blood test to prove rabies vaccination might be required. Inside the EU, dogs need a microchip identification and an EU pet passport with a valid rabies vaccination.
The well-being of your dog during travel is of utmost importance. Regular breaks during the journey, a long walk before departure, and providing a familiar environment at the destination can help your dog adapt.
Preventive measures should be taken to protect your dog from infectious diseases common in holiday regions, such as around the Mediterranean. Effective tick and mosquito repellents need to be renewed regularly. Infectious diseases like leishmaniasis, heartworm disease, and ehrlichiosis can be dangerous for dogs, and these diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes or ticks.
A vaccination against leishmaniasis can help mitigate the course of the disease, but it does not prevent infection. A preventive treatment against heartworms is recommended.
Animals that regularly need medication should be adequately supplied during travel. It's also crucial to register your dog in a pet registry to facilitate its recovery in case it gets lost.
When planning a vacation with your dog, it's advisable to consult with a veterinarian, especially if your dog's coping ability with the journey is in question.
