Traveling with your furry companion can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Whether it’s a road trip to the hills, a train journey to visit family, or even an air trip, pets make every journey more joyful. However, traveling with pets in India requires planning, preparation, and patience to ensure their safety and comfort.
Here are some useful tips to make your travel with pets smoother and stress-free. 🐾
By Car: The most comfortable way to travel with pets in India. Always use a pet carrier, seatbelt harness, or crate to keep them safe.
By Train: Indian Railways allows pets in AC First Class compartments or in the luggage van (depending on the route). Advance booking and a health certificate are usually required.
By Flight: Airlines like Air India, Vistara, and SpiceJet allow pets, but conditions vary. Book early and check their pet travel policies carefully.
Before you travel, make sure you have:
A recent health certificate from a vet (usually within 48 hours of travel).
Updated vaccination records.
ID tags and a microchip if possible.
This is especially important if you’re flying or taking a long train journey.
Just like you pack for yourself, pack for your pet! Your kit should include:
Food and water bowls
Pet food and treats (carry extra in case of delays)
Leash, collar, and harness
Waste bags, tissues, and cleaning supplies
A blanket or toy for comfort
Take short walks before traveling to help your pet burn off energy.
Ensure good ventilation during the journey.
Never leave pets locked in a car, especially in India’s hot climate.
Use calming sprays, treats, or toys to ease anxiety.
Avoid feeding a heavy meal right before travel—it may cause nausea. Instead:
Give a light meal 2–3 hours before the trip.
Carry bottled water for your pet to avoid tummy issues.
If you’re planning an overnight stay, research pet-friendly hotels in advance. Many cities in India now have hotels and homestays that welcome pets with open arms.
Keep the contact number of a local vet at your destination.
Carry basic first aid supplies.
Have your regular vet’s contact saved for advice.
Traveling with pets in India can be smooth and enjoyable if you’re prepared. From road trips to train journeys, with the right care, your furry friend will enjoy the adventure as much as you do.
