Keeping Your Pet Safe During Summer Holidays

Summer holidays can be risky for pets. Here's how to keep them safe while you're away or travelling together.

Summer holidays bring unique challenges for pet owners. Whether you're taking your pet with you or leaving them at home, proper preparation is essential.

If Your Pet is Travelling With You

  • Ensure their GPR tag is securely attached before leaving home
  • Update your GPR profile with your holiday destination and dates
  • Add a temporary contact number if you'll be using a different phone abroad
  • Be extra vigilant in unfamiliar environments - pets can easily become disorientated

If Your Pet is Staying Home

  • Make sure their GPR profile is up to date with current contact details
  • Provide your pet sitter or kennel with your GPR account information
  • Ensure your pet's tag is clearly visible
  • Leave clear instructions about what to do if your pet goes missing

Emergency Preparedness

  • Keep your phone charged and accessible
  • Have your pet's documentation easily available
  • Know how to contact local vets and animal shelters at your destination
  • Don't remove your pet's tag, even for photos

Remember, pets are more likely to wander during holidays due to changes in routine and environment. A GPR tag ensures that no matter where your pet goes, they can be quickly identified and returned to you.
