Food and water
Set aside enough regular food, clean bowls, and a written feeding schedule. A measuring scoop can help keep portions consistent.
Walks and cleaning
Check the leash, harness, waste bags, litter, and cleaning supplies. Leave clear instructions about safe outdoor routines.
Comfort and safety
Provide your pet's familiar bed, favorite toys, a secure carrier if needed, and updated identification information.
Medication
Only use medication as directed by your veterinarian. Provide the original packaging and clear written instructions.
