  • Check Local Pet Rules: Some beaches and parks in Caloundra may have specific rules for pets, so make sure you’re aware of the local guidelines before heading out.
  • Keep Them Hydrated: Always have fresh water available for your pets, especially during the warmer months on the Sunshine Coast.

Important Health Tips for Travelling with Dogs

When taking your dog on holiday, it’s important to ensure their safety and wellbeing throughout the trip. Here are some extra tips to help make the journey smooth and stress-free for both you and your furry companion:

  • Microchipping & ID Tags: Make sure your dog is microchipped, and that your contact details are up to date on the microchip register. In Australia, there are six microchip registers—be sure the one your dog is recorded on is nationally recognised, not just state-based. This is essential, especially if your dog gets lost while travelling interstate. In addition to microchipping, attach an ID tag to your dog’s collar with your contact details. Also, ensure your dog's registration is current, if required by your state.
  • Health & Medications: Ensure your dog is in good health before you set off, with all vaccinations, worming, and flea treatments up to date. If your pet is on any prescription medication, pack enough to last the duration of your holiday. Consult your vet before travelling for advice on tick prevention, especially in areas prone to paralysis ticks.
  • Vet Contact Information: Have the contact details of a local vet handy, just in case you need them during your stay.
  • Safe Travel in Vehicles: Your dog’s safety while travelling is crucial. Vehicle restraints for dogs are widely available and can attach to existing seat belts or clip directly into them. These restraints can be attached to a dog’s collar or harness to keep them secure during the drive. Alternatively, you may use a transport crate that allows your pet to stand, turn around, and stretch comfortably. Ensure the crate is properly secured in the car.
  • Avoid Heat Stress: Never leave your dog unattended in a vehicle. Even in mild weather, dogs can suffer from heat stress very quickly, which can be fatal. Always keep your pet with you and provide plenty of water and ventilation during the trip.

Travel Checklist for Your Pet

Before you head off on your holiday, here’s a quick checklist to ensure your pet is ready for the journey:

  1. Microchip is registered and up to date on a national database.
  2. ID tag attached to collar with current contact details.
  3. Health check-up with vet, vaccinations, worming, and flea treatments up to date.
  4. Any prescription medication packed for the trip.
  5. Vehicle restraint or crate ready for safe travel.
  6. Plenty of water, pet food, and bowls packed.
  7. Familiar items for comfort (blanket, toys, etc.).
  8. Plan for regular breaks during long car rides for your dog to stretch and hydrate.
  9. Never leave your dog alone in the car.

By following these tips and ensuring you’re well-prepared, you can have a safe and enjoyable holiday with your beloved pet by your side!
