Just like humans, our beloved pets can experience the effects of jet lag after long flights. Imagine a sleepy-eyed dog or a disoriented cat trying to figure out why it’s dark when it should be light! Jet lag in pets can lead to confusion, mood swings, and even health issues. So, how do we help our furry companions adjust to their new time zones? Let’s dive into some fun and effective strategies!

Planning a trip with your pet? You’ll want to have a recovery plan in place to minimize their jet lag. Here’s a handy list to get you started:

  • Comfort Items: Bring along their favorite blanket or toy to provide a sense of familiarity.
