✈️ Episode Intro: Landed… Now What?

You made it! You, your pet, and that squeaky giraffe toy survived flights, hotels, and TSA sniff tests. But the journey isn’t over yet—your furball now has to adjust to a new environment, time zone, and routine (yes, again).

In this final installment of our Pet Travel 101 series, we’ll help you handle jet lag, new potty schedules, and post-travel anxiety like a seasoned pet pro.

🕒 Jet Lag for Pets Is Real (and Ruff)

Pets experience circadian rhythm shifts just like humans—but they can’t chug espresso.

🐶 Watch for signs of jet lag:

• Sleeping all day, zoomies all night

• Confused feeding times

• Potty schedule totally off

• Clinginess or mild irritability

💡 Fix it gently:

• Gradually adjust meal/walk times 1–2 hours per day

• Keep lighting consistent (dark at night, bright in the morning)

• Use calm routines like brushing or cuddling to signal bedtime

• Don’t rush—some pets need a few days to adjust

🚽 Potty Break Planning: New Place, New Rules

Even the most housetrained pet can be thrown off in a new place.

🐾 Tips for success:

✅ Establish a potty spot quickly (outside or on pads)
✅ Use consistent commands they know from home
✅ Reward heavily for success in the new location
✅ Never punish “oopsies” — stress is the likely cause

💡 Bring familiar smells! Place a used pee pad or blanket in the new potty spot to “mark the territory” mentally.

🧘‍♀️ Calming Anxiety in New Surroundings

Whether you’re at grandma’s, an Airbnb, or a castle in France (fancy!), new environments = new stressors.

🔈 Common stress triggers:

• New smells, sounds, and people

• Changes in daily rhythm

• Feeling confined (e.g., hotel room)

🐕‍🦺 What helps:

• Keep one bag packed like “home” (food, toys, blanket)

• Stick to the routine as closely as possible

• Give them a safe space (crate, corner, or blanket fort)

• Use calming treats or pheromone sprays if needed

💡 Tele-Vet Tips

After travel, your pet might develop tummy issues, anxiety, or just seem “off.” Not sure if it’s serious? Book a quick virtual consult with a vet to ease your mind.
