Are you planning to travel with your service dog internationally? If so, here’s what you need to remember:

1. If your service dog has certain allergies to food, medication, and other products, be sure to bring your own supply.

2. Order food and medication for your pet online and have them shipped to your travel destination. Also, check whether your destination has local pet stores.

3. When traveling to warmer climates, add Pedialyte® to your dog’s water bowl to prevent dehydration. Place freezer packs in the pockets of your dog’s vests to cool its body.

4. When traveling to cooler climates, get a vest or coat with insulation. Brush your dog’s coat frequently.

5. Carry a head halter or muzzle with you because some public places may require them.

6. Take good care of yourself so that you can also care for your service dog!

Sadie is a 9½-year-old golden retriever-Labrador mix and a certified therapy dog in the United States. Her owner named Catherine Rutter says that before she got Sadie, she has already heard about therapy dogs and thought how great it would be to share them with others.

Aside from being a certified therapy dog, Sadie also happens to be one of the engaged dogs at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.

These dogs help serve patients with conditions such as cancer, dementia, epilepsy, and more. Some of their visits with patients aren’t therapy-based. The dogs can simply be there to raise the spirits of staff members and patients.

Coordinator of Wake Forest Baptist’s Animal-Assisted Therapy program Suzanne Thompson says,“ Even though a prospective therapy dog has been certified and meets our other criteria, I evaluate them to see if they’re a good fit here.”

Before Charlotte Ferrell bought Pablo, her world was different. Her mom died and she didn’t get out of bed for five days. She found it hard to return to her routine. Pablo helped Charlotte cope with her struggles. Even if Charlotte doesn’t feel like getting up, she still does in order to take him out at night.

Taking care of an emotional support dog helps people with their mental disabilities. That’s because, with a support dog, they need to get up and do something. According to DAAS, all service animals are permitted on campus as long as students get approval and that the animals are trained.

Sydney Schapel is a student at Elon University, and she shares her thoughts about pets being on campus. According to her, many students at Elon happen to be animal lovers. She also wonders whether the university will be allowing emotional support animals.

While some dorms at Elon University aren’t animal-friendly (because of students who are allergic), Sydney mentions the benefits of bringing an animal to campus:

• Animals help students have an easier transition to college.
• Animals make students more responsible since they will have to care for them while their parents are not around.
• People are drawn to animals and with that, animals can help students form new friendships.
• Animals bring the best in everyone.
• Petting an animal has been shown to reduce anxiety.

Sydney says that she hopes that Elon University won’t find it hard to allow animals on campus. When she was choosing between Elon and Stetson, she chose Elon despite the fact that Stetson was animal-friendly.

As a pet owner or service dog owner, it’s important to prepare for emergency situations to keep your furry friend safe. Here are some helpful tips from The Humane Society of the United States:

1. Prepare a list of pet-friendly hotels because, in emergency situations, shelters fill up pretty fast.

2. Remember that if a situation is not safe for you, it’s also unsafe for your pet/service dog.

3. If you own a service animal, know that under the ADA, your animal is required to stay by your side at all times and that includes when you are in a disaster shelter.

4. Pack an emergency kit that includes bottled water, canned dry food, two weeks’ supply of pet medication, medical and vaccination records, and more.

5. If a situation arises where you really need to abandon your pet, make sure that it has a microchip or collar with your current information.
