Southern Charm Shih Tzu's
Crafting Unforgettable Journeys with Your Companion

Your Shih Tzu puppy's travel experience may start with its delivery to you by car or plane. We, at Southern Charm Shih Tzu's, take pride in delivering your precious puppy to you, and from that point on, embarking on adventures together becomes a delightful journey. Traveling with your Shih Tzu can be a wonderful experience, as these small and affectionate dogs make excellent companions. Your Shih Tzu is eager to learn, adapt, and, most importantly, it will want to be with you and experience as much as possible.

Here are some of our recommended

Shih Tzu Travel Suggestions for you:

Preparation is Key

Before embarking on your travels, visit the vet to ensure

our Shih Tzu is in good health and up-to-date on

vaccinations.

Consider getting your dog microchipped and ensure

they have an ID tag with your contact information.

Pack a travel kit for your Shih Tzu, including their

regular food, water, bowls, favorite toys, and a

comfortable bed or blanket.

Accommodations

Choose pet-friendly accommodations to ensure a

comfortable stay for both you and your Shih Tzu.

Check hotel policies in advance, as some may have

specific rules or fees for guests with pets.

Mode of Transportation

If you're traveling by car, ensure your Shih Tzu is secured

in a well-ventilated carrier or restrained with a harness to

ensure safety during the journey.

If flying, check with the airline for their pet travel policies

and guidelines. Since the Shih Tzu is a toy breed, finding

an appropriate carrier is feasible, but it's crucial to adhere to

strict size regulations.

Outdoor Activities

Plan activities that your Shih Tzu can enjoy, such as

leisurely walks in dog-friendly parks or along pet-friendly

beaches.

Be mindful of the weather and avoid strenuous activities

in extreme temperatures.

Health and Hygiene

Keep your Shih Tzu hydrated and provide regular bathroom breaks during the journey.

Bring necessary grooming supplies to maintain your dog's hygiene while on the road.

Local Regulations

Familiarize yourself with local pet regulations and leash laws in the areas you plan to visit.

Respect the environment and clean up after your Shih Tzu to ensure a positive experience for everyone.

Socialization

Introduce your Shih Tzu to new environments and people gradually to help them feel more comfortable and reduce stress.

Emergency Preparedness

Locate nearby veterinary clinics or hospitals in the areas you'll be visiting.

Carry a first aid kit for your Shih Tzu that includes any necessary medications.
