When
you picture a family vacation do you see your pets there with you?
Imagine the sun on your face and the sand beneath your feet- and your
dog by your side. Does it seem attainable? Animal Planet host

Bowl referee Dan Schachner thinks that it is and
he has teamed up with Petco to help pet owners prepare
for a trip with their pets. Although
it does require a lot of planning in advance and dedicated research,

Being an Animal
Planet host and Puppy Bowl
referee keeps Dan Schachner busy. When he is not
shooting the hit TV show America’s
Cutest Pets, supporting animal shelters or teaming up with Petco
to educate pet owners he can be found spending time with his children. On May 6
Schachner shared his Top 3 Pet Travel
Safety Tips:
1.
Do in depth research. “Get people on the phone- don’t just
trust what you read online on pet blogs or traveller experience blogs. Go
directly to that airline, that hotel, that destination and do your research as
many times as possible- especially if it is your first time.”
2.
Proper identification. “Second of all make sure your pet has
proper ID and by that I mean a tag with not just their name and your name but a
cell phone number because you are travelling- you’re not going to be home. So
an immediate contact number is key.”
3.
Packing and preparation. “The third one is sort of an umbrella
tip about having all of the right supplies. That’s not just treats, that’s not
just food- that’s also medical records, backup medicine if your dog has any
conditions.”
Schachner
also shared his 4 Personal Pet Travel Products that he recommends
for pet parents with a case of the wanderlust:
3.
On the plane: "If you plan to travel by air with your pet, know the airline's
pet policies, including size requirements for the passenger and cargo
areas," said Schachner. "When I travel with my dog Cali, I love using
the Sherpa
To Go Pet Carrier, which is
approved for in-cabin use by most major airlines."
