Amica unleashes 4 tips for safe traveling with pets
08/06/2019 Lincoln, R.I
As hotels, stores and other destinations are becoming more pet-friendly, it’s easier to take your furry friends along on a road trip.
That’s why Amica Insurance is sharing these five travel tips from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA):
- Keep pets safe and secure in a well-ventilated crate or carrier that’s large enough for them to stand, sit, lie down and turn around. Be sure to always secure the crate so it won’t slide or shift.
- Never leave pets alone in a parked vehicle for any period of time. On a warm day, the temperature in a car can reach 120° in just a few minutes.
- Pack a pet traveling kit, and include travel papers, food, a bowl, a leash, a waste scoop, plastic bags, medication, a pet first-aid kit and a favorite toy or pillow. Also, pack plenty of water.
- Pets should have a microchip for identification, as well as a collar with an imprinted tag that includes your home address, cell phone number and other relevant contact information.
