A familiar blanket or thin travel bed inside the crate helps reduce stress during air travel. Avoid thick, bulky bedding that reduces the usable space inside the crate. The bedding must be absorbent in case of accidents during the flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I get my pet used to a travel bed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce the bed at home well before travel. Place it in your pet’s usual sleeping spot and let them explore it at their own pace. Adding a worn item of your clothing can help them associate the bed with comfort and security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre self-warming pet beds safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — self-warming beds use reflective materials to retain body heat rather than any electrical components, making them completely safe for unsupervised use. They’re a practical, low-maintenance option for travel.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.travelgear.com.au\/collections\/pet-travel-beds-blankets.oembed","provider":"Travel Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
