Yes making an inquiry before leaving your place is always better than facing any hassle later on. Make an inquiry for the policies related to carrying pets. There are some places, which do not entertain pets at all so ask before making any reservations. Even while traveling, you need to take care that your pet is insured in car insurance policy. There are certain companies offering pet injury coverage, if you face an accident, when driving, the policy will allow payment up to a certain amount as a veterinary bill.
Give them identity
Dress them up properly, when you are carrying them to travel. This means making them wear any dress or belt, which is bearing your contact number and other details.
Take along all their necessities
You need to pack their bags, just like yours. Carry their first aid kit, their feeding bowls, handy food, their medicines, towel, pet bed, favorite toys and water.
While travelling feed them before leaving
The day, you are beginning your journey, feed them a couple of hours earlier to prevent spoiling of their health. They may not handle traveling swirls with a full stomach.
