The holidays are calling, and your pet is ready to come along for the ride. Whether it’s a road trip to the coast or a weekend away in the country, a little planning goes a long way in making sure your four-legged travel buddy stays safe, comfortable, and happy.
At Paddington Vet, we love seeing pets join in on the summer adventures. Here’s your go-to checklist for a smooth and stress-free holiday together.

1. Pre-Trip Health Check
Before you set off, book a quick check-up to make sure your pet is healthy, up to date with vaccinations, and protected against fleas and ticks. It’s also the perfect time to ask about motion sickness or travel anxiety solutions.👉 Book your pre-travel visit
2. Update Their ID
Make sure your pet’s microchip details and ID tags are current before you hit the road. It’s a small step that gives you peace of mind if they wander off while exploring new places.
3. Pack the Essentials
A well-packed travel bag keeps everyone happy. Include:
Food and treats
Water and a collapsible bowl
Lead and harness
Waste bags
Medications (if needed)
Bed or blanket
Favourite toy for comfort
Familiar items help your pet feel settled wherever the adventure takes you.
4. Safety on the Road
Use a secure carrier or harness in the car, and take regular breaks for water and toilet stops. Keep the car cool and never leave your pet inside unattended.
