Pack essentials like food, water, toys, and a familiar blanket to make your pet feel at home. Research pet-friendly accommodations and check their policies beforehand. Always keep a leash handy and never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle. It’s also a good idea to keep their medical records and your vet’s contact info handy, just in case.

Other considerations could include checking if your destination has pet-friendly activities and whether your pet will need any additional vaccinations or treatments for the trip. With these tips, you can make your Christmas vacation a memorable adventure for your pets, and the rest of the family.
