Cat Travel Checklist

Cat Travel Checklist

Unlike dogs, cats are masters at hiding illness, and signs of a health problem may not be noticeable until an illness has reached an advanced stage. It’s important to take your cat to the vet at least once a year, particularly if you have a holiday coming up.

Cat Travel Checklist

To help you plan ahead for your holiday, here is a simple checklist. If you have any questions or need advice, please speak to our staff.

Several months before you travel

  • Book your cat into your favourite boarding facility. Contact us if you need any local recommendations.

Six weeks before you travel

  • Check to ensure vaccinations are up to date and that all relevant vaccines for boarding are complete.
  • Start familiarising your cat with the cat carrier – leave the door open so that your cat can make their own way in and feel comfortable prior to travel.
  • Make sure that you will have sufficient medications (if needed) to supply to the boarding facility. If not, speak to our staff to get the best advice.
  • Does your cat have any other health issues? If so, book an appointment with one of our vets so that these can be assessed before you go away.

A week before you travel

Ensure that your cat has been treated for the following:

  • Fleas and ticks
  • Worms

The day before you travel

  • Collect together any toys, blankets etc. that you wish to send with your cat.
  • Ensure you have your vaccination certificate ready to supply to the boarding facility.
  • Give your cat a few extra hugs today.

On the day of travel

  • Allow yourself plenty of time to get you, and your cat, ready for your journeys.
  • Ensure you have all medications, vaccine certificate and toys etc. with you.
  • Allow plenty of time to get to the boarding facility.
  • Enjoy your holiday!
