Owners of dogs and cats know that before planning a trip, first you need to take care of who your pet is staying with: call your relatives or friends, find a good pet hotel. But there is another way: take a Barsek or Barbos with you.

Traveling by car

In order the pet does not interfere with the driver while driving, you need to decide on how to transport it. There are two options: either the Animal will go in a carry-on in the cabin, or without transfer in a special compartment behind or the trunk. There are special fixtures that enclose the cabin or front seats that look like rigid reticulated nets.

But cats need to be transported only in special carry, as if the animal is scared, it can behave unpredictably. Exactly the same with small dogs. The cage must be fastened with special straps.

Traveling by train

Ukrzaliznytsia has severe travel conditions on trains with animals.

How to transport an animal by train depends on its size:

• the dogs of any size can be transported in a compartment only having bought in it all places. A large dog (above 45 centimeters) can be only one and necessarily in the muzzle. Small dogs in a compartment can be two and should be transported in boxes, baskets or cages;
• no more than two pets (small dogs, cats, and so on) can be transported in the reserved seat and Intercity. You do not need to buy more places, but pets must be in boxes, baskets, cages or containers with bottoms. They can be left in the carry-on luggage area, on the passenger’s hands or under the seat. The big dog will have to be left in the extreme vestibules of the first and last car, but with an attendant.

What to bring with you for traveling with an animal

When traveling with your pet, treat your luggage as responsibly as your own. Be sure to bring the mat with a familiar animal scent. Also do not forget about the bowl, stock up on water and food. It is advisable to carry towels and a seat cover, in case if the pet gets wet during the walk. Collect a marching first-aid kit that will include repellent collars, withers, painkillers, anti-inflammatory and mite spray.

Carefully approach the issue of housing choices

When booking a house in advance, find out if you can stay with the animals. It is better to clarify the requirements: often in hotels where you are allowed to bring Pets, still will not allow animals larger than five kilograms.
