The beautiful days are ahead of us this spring or even summer season! In fact, you have started to take your pet outside more often. Perhaps you have planned a getaway with your dog, your cat, or your rodent? Zoomalia offers everything you need to transport your companion everywhere easily, to enjoy quality outdoor moments without transportation constraints.
From urban walks to the countryside, around a lake or by the ocean, many opportunities arise as long as you are well-equipped. Zoomalia therefore suggests 7 ideas for transporting your beloved pet.
"All aboard Simone!" said Julien Doré to his beautiful Swiss white shepherd. But how can you safely transport your pet? Equip your vehicle in the best possible way. There are separation grills to prevent the animal from getting on the seats and disturbing your driving. Then, a rigid travel cage provides true safety during the car transport due to its stability in the trunk. Other equipment enhances the car ride like an access ramp and a seat cover. This will be very useful if your dog is elderly.
It is mandatory to choose an IATA standard transport crate (International Air Transport Association) since the animal must be able to stand and move in its cage. If your cage does not comply, you might not be able to fly with your pet.
If your pet is small and lightweight, you might be allowed to have it on your lap during the journey. Check with your airline for confirmation.
For a smooth journey on a train, tram, or bus, you might need to muzzle your dog weighing more than 6 kg. You will gently hold it at your feet throughout the journey. Other small pets such as cats, hamsters, or guinea pigs are allowed in the vehicle with the unanimous consent of travelers.
It is recommended to bring a transport cage or a well-closed bag, especially if your pet is skittish and not used to this kind of travel. Consider a sedative or anti-stress supplement before departure. Your pet must remain accompanied under your entire responsibility.

This is the ideal place for your four-legged companion! An auxiliary travel crate allows you to easily and quickly transport the animal from one spot to another. What a pleasure to see it running back and forth... it's the perfect time to play with it!
If you have a dog, you can offer it multiple toys such as balls, plush toys, a frisbee, a rope, a chew toy, or a squeaky toy. Additionally, a water toy will be welcome in hot weather.
A cat, on the other hand, will play with plush faux mice, balls, hanging toys, interactive toys, or even a simple fishing rod!
For a rodent, rabbit, or ferret, think of rabbit hutch and the outdoor enclosure which will allow it to gain space and stretch its legs safely. If your pet spends most of its time indoors, it's better to offer it semi-freedom in your garden to prevent it from escaping or getting lost accidentally. Rodents' favorite toys are essentially chew toys made of natural wood, but you can set up a play area with a tunnel (rabbits love it), a ball, a bridge, an exercise wheel, or seesaw, and for the more athletic ones, a small obstacle course.
Thus, you may transform your courtyard or garden into a leisure park for pets, but when you love, you don't count the cost!

It's time for the essential leash walk for your dog. Since the time change (from winter time to summer time), you've noticed that the days are getting longer. So, take advantage of this bonus of natural light and sunshine to walk with your little companion. Accessories adapted to your pet make your walks easier, even the longest ones.
Leashes, harnesses, strollers, the dog clothing or cat harness provide more comfort and pleasure during your daily outings. The option stroller is relatively reserved for a puppy, a kitten, for a senior or convalescent pet.
Your little rodent can also enjoy an ergonomic harness based on its species, whether it is a rabbit, dwarf rabbit, ferret, rat, guinea pig, or hamster. Indeed, it is important to protect it from external dangers, predators, or traffic. It is a complementary accessory that can also keep it secure in its travel cage similar to a seatbelt.
The mountains, beaten paths, and fresh air are calling? Let your companion (who never leaves your side) enjoy by carrying it on your back with an adapted backpack. Let it walk alongside you and carry it in case of a difficult or inaccessible path.
The transport bag shields it from wind or passing rain. The sling bag is excellent for a small-sized pet. The bag with wheels is certainly meant for paved roads and eases your back from the animal’s weight.
In Paris by bicycle or on a bicycle in Paris, it doesn't matter! In the city or the countryside, you love to bike or use two-wheelers, even more with your companion on board! Ride your bicycle safely and find the perfect accessories for cycling transport to make the most of beautiful sunny rides.
You will most likely need a bicycle basket, a bike rack, or a bicycle trailer. Or, if your dog wants to run alongside you, choose a jogging leash. So much sport in prospect, you right next to it on the latest roller blades!
