Their usual food, labeled
Pack enough of their normal food for the whole stay, plus a little extra in case your plans change. Label the bag with their name and how much they eat at each meal.
Something that smells like home
A blanket, a worn T-shirt or their own bed helps them settle on the first night. It doesn’t need to be clean, the smell is the point.
A favorite toy or two
One or two favorites are plenty. Pick the ones they actually play with, not the brand-new ones.
Lead, collar and tags
For dogs, their usual lead and a collar or harness with an ID tag. For cats, a carrier for the trip here and home again.
Their notes
Feeding amounts, any medication, little quirks and the phone number of someone we can call. Tuck it in the top of the bag.
