Kira Zabe -

Life in a van not only offers adventure for you, but also for your furry companions. Whether it's a dog, cat or a more exotic companion, vanlife with pets requires special considerations and preparations. In this blog post, we share practical tips on how to enjoy life on the road with your pet and how the Smantry app can help you manage their needs.

Preparation and safety

Safety first, especially when it comes to your pets:

  • Vet visits: make sure your pets are healthy and have all necessary vaccinations before traveling.
  • Emergency contact: Have a list of vets along your route ready and make a note of their emergency contact too.

Travel comfort for your pet

Make your pet as comfortable as possible during the journey:

  • Transportation options: Invest in a secure carrier or car seat for your pet.
  • Take breaks: Plan regular breaks for walks and toilet breaks to minimize stress.

Healthy nutrition on the road

Make sure your pet has a balanced diet during the van trip:

  • Food supplies: store enough food and water for your pet in the van.
  • Use the Smantry.app: The app will help you keep track of your pet's food supplies and remind you in time to get new ones.

Activities and exercise

Your pet needs exercise and activity, even in the van:

  • Walks and hikes: Plan routes and places where your pet can let off steam.
  • Toys and activities: Pack toys and other activities to keep boredom at bay.
