Holiday Travel With Pets: How to Keep Them Calm, Safe & Happy

The holiday season means road trips, flights, family gatherings — and yes, bringing our furry family members along. In fact, 67% of U.S. pet owners travel with their pets at least once a year, but 58% say their pets get anxious while traveling.

Travel stress is extremely common. Loud airports, long car rides, new smells, strange homes it’s a lot for pets to process. Signs include panting, whining, shaking, pacing, drooling, or restlessness.
