5-Point Travel Checklist for You and Your Pets Summer travel plans with Fido? Be prepared with 5 expert tips. (BPT) - Did you know 30 million people travel with their pets each year? Whether by plane, train or automobile, if you’re planning an upcoming trip with your furry family member, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure you both stay safe and healthy while making memories that will last a lifetime. “Traveling with pets has never been more popular,” says Dr. Christina Fernandez, Medical Director of the SGU Small Animal Clinic in Grenada and Associate Professor Emergency Critical Care at St. George’s University. “To ensure you both have a wonderful time without experiencing unexpected hurdles and headaches, be proactive. A little forethought goes a long way to keep everyone safe and having fun.”
Dr. Fernandez suggests five simple steps to prepare when traveling with pets:
Prevent bug bothers Planning a trip to a cabin or lake home? These popular destinations are ideal for people traveling with pets, but being outdoors can mean lots of insects. Plan to visit your vet at least a month prior to your departure to discuss flea and tick treatments, as these can take several weeks to start working effectively. Especially if your pet is not already receiving routine preventatives.
Slather on sun protection Everyone wants great weather while on vacation, and sunny days are ideal for all types of activities. It’s important to be careful, though, as too much sunshine is dangerous for both people and pets. Pack sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher for yourself but be aware that sun block sold
for human use can be potentially toxic to your pet. Look for pet specific sun block instead or ask your veterinarian if there is a suitable product that could be used to protect your pet while having fun in the sun. While you’re out, remember to wear light clothing, a hat and sunglasses. Always take frequent breaks in the shade with your pet to cool off.
Properly prepare prescriptions No matter where you’re traveling, be sure to plan ahead and pack enough medication to last the entire duration of your trip. Properly label all medication for you and your pet, and consider carrying a written prescription from your doctor just in case you need a refill while away. Bottles can get lost, damaged or stolen, so having a backup plan can be a lifesaver. If your pet has major medical conditions it’s never a bad idea to request a copy of the pet’s medical records to have with you, especially if you are going on longer trips.
Snacks stave off hunger Both you and your pet will need nourishment while traveling, so don’t forget to pack snacks. Staying properly hydrated is important, too, making bottled water a must. If traveling by car, ice cubes are a mess-free treat for your pup. A few healthy snacks for you and a small bag of food for your pet will keep you fueled throughout any journey so you’re ready to roll when you arrive at your destination.
Verify perfectly pleasant pet accommodations If you’re staying at a hotel or resort, verifying your reservations before leaving is always a smart step, yet when traveling with a pet it is even more important. The last thing you want is to arrive and find out they don’t allow animals or all the animalapproved rooms are taken. Make a call now to provide peace of mind and avoid trouble later.
something people will continue to do more and more,” says Dr. Fernandez. “As long as pet owners think ahead about what they should do for themselves and well as their furry family members, there’s no reason Fifi or Fido can’t come along on the journey.”

What’s The Real Cost of That Auto Repair? How do you know if you’re paying the best price? (BPT) - Do you take your car’s “health” for granted? Only when the check engine light comes on do you realize how important a fully functional vehicle is to your daily life. Feelings of fear, regret and anxiety often rush in: “Will my car break down?” “Should I have gotten my oil changed sooner?” Can I trust that I’m receiving a fair price for repairs?” These are all reasonable concerns, according to Joe Wiesenfelder, Cars.com executive editor. “According to Mintel, on average, drivers spend nearly $1,000 per year maintaining their cars, and that number will

likely only increase as the average age of vehicles continues to get older,” says Wiesenfelder. “Even more important, a recent survey by Cars.com and Toluna found that one in three drivers don’t trust that the prices mechanics quote to them are fair. ‘Expensive’ and ‘stressful’ are the top words that come to mind for many consumers when they’re thinking about car maintenance and repairs.” Knowledge is power, but for many consumers, car maintenance can be shrouded in mystery. Many don’t know which mechanic to go to, how much to pay or if the price they’re being quoted is accurate. Thankfully, tools and resources are available to help drivers confidently navigate the automotive service and repair process. Here are a few expert tips, resources and
busted myths to arm you with the information you need to make informed, confident decisions about car service:
1. You probably don’t need to change your oil every 3,000 miles. Due to technology advancements, many auto manufacturers recommend changing oil at intervals of 7,500 miles or more for new cars. 2. Does a dirty air filter
really hurt performance? A clogged air filter won’t significantly affect fuel economy, but it can reduce acceleration from 6 to 11 percent, according to a U.S. Department of Energy Study. For that reason, it’s a good idea to periodically visually check the engine air filter.
