Quick Start
Update collar ID tags and confirm microchip registration info is current.
Keep printed and digital copies of vaccinations, prescriptions, and your primary + emergency vet.
Food, water, bowls, meds, leash, carrier, waste bags, comfort items, and first aid items.
Assign who grabs the carrier, where you’ll meet, and which pet‑friendly hotels/shelters to use.
Confirm crate size, health certificates, meds schedule, and ID on carrier before you go.
