Traveling with Pets to Global Pet Expo

We’re just a few months away from Global Pet Expo in Orlando and we know how many people and companies travel with their pets to this event. Whether you’re there as a buyer or groomer looking for new products and tech, bringing your pet influencer to check out new opportunities, or an exhibitor bringing animals to enhance your booth presence at the event, Curicyn has you covered. While our last blog discussed traveling with pets with a focus on pet owners traveling for pleasure, sometimes there’s a little more to consider when coming to a large event such as Global Pet.

Whether you’re traveling to Global Pet with your pet, or perhaps coming home with a new one, Curicyn’s Pet Care Kit has you covered.

Packing & Planning

From the moment you confirm your attendance at Global Pet, it’s exciting to start planning your adventure! If you’re bringing your pet, a little advance planning goes a long way to make sure things run smoothly. For example, traveling with a pet influencer may be a bit different than traveling with several small animals such as hamsters or chinchillas for your booth exhibit. It’s important to plan ahead so that you can minimize stress on the animals when traveling and ensure you are accommodating the specific specie’s needs for each animal traveling.

For example, if you are traveling with smaller mammals, or reptiles, climate control is extremely important when en route. In some cases, a longer drive is better than flying, while in other cases, road trips can increase stress over a shorter direct flight to the destination. Most people going to Global Pet Expo are animal experts in their own right, and will know the best way for their animals to travel to the event. When packing, in addition to the obvious – food, water, and other similar supplies – a good first aid kit is alway a good idea to have on hand. While we often recommend the Curicyn Trial Kit to new pet owners and people new to traveling with animals, as an industry expert, we recommend the more robust Pet Care Kit.

Curicyn is safe to use on reptiles, and you’ll see all kinds when you are at Global Pet!

What’s In a Good First Aid Kit?

Well, any first aid kit will have the basics: bandages, wound care spray, wound pads and gauze (especially non-stick pads), a complete kit will also b lightweight, convenient and easy to carry no matter where you and your animals go. Added items included in our kit are TSA-approved sizes of our BodyGuard Fly & Flea Repellant as you never know what other animals you may come in contact with could be carrying. Especially at a show as large as Global Pet Expo, having this handy little spray with you can really help and remember, Florida is much warmer than many other parts of the country so biting insects that may not be a problem back home are still a risk down there.

The kit also includes not just wound care spray, but also clay for those hard-to-bandage cuts and scrapes and issues, as well as eye care solution. With changes in climate including temperature and humidity, as well as changes in the cabin pressure if you are flying with your pet, the eye care solution really comes in handy! And those are just some of the key components. There’s even tweezers, blunt tip scissors that are TSA-approved, vinyl gloves, an extra leash, and do much more to ensure everything you may need is in one small convenient case. You can check out the full product description on our product page here. 

Sure, you can put together a first aid kit yourself, but is it really worth it? For the time and the cost of all the components, our Pet Care Kit has everything you need already assembled. And if you’re attending Global Pet Expo, there’s a good chance you qualify as a potential retailer and can order wholesale. For more information, check out our Wholesale site and apply today!

Who remembers that time one of our team members came home with a new puppy from Global Pet?

It’s All About Comfort

If you’ve been to Global Pet Expo before, you know that it can be overwhelming for animals and humans alike. At the end of the day, plan ahead and bring your pet’s favorite toys and treats. Plan breaks from the trade show floor, and make sure they get quiet time away from all the noise. If you can, grab their favorite pet bed to make wherever they need to nap feel like home.

We can’t wait to see you at Global Pet Expo this March. Be sure to stop by our booth at #2467 from March 26 – 28 and check out any show specials we have going on before you head home.  Tag us on social at @Curicyn and you and your pet may be featured in a future social post.
