safe travels

     The holiday season is closing in fast, and for many pet owners that means traveling to see family and friends.  Of course we want to bring our pets along on these travels, but it's as important to take safety precautions for our pets as it is for us.  There is a tendency to give our pets free access to the vehicle while traveling, however this is an unsafe practice because we need to be focused on our driving.  Dogs should be either safety belted into a dog specific seat belt during travel, or placed in a securely fastened crate or kennel.  Cats should be placed in a securely fastened crate or kennel.  Some pets may exhibit motion sickness or anxiety during travel.  Please contact our staff for further information on how to handle these specific cases.  If travel with your pet is not an option, please contact us for information on boarding your pet for you.  We wish you and your pets safe and happy travels this holiday season!
