## Prompt

```text
Help me plan a trip with my pet.

**Pet:** [SPECIES, BREED, AGE, WEIGHT, and temperament - e.g. anxious in cars]
**Health notes:** [conditions, medications, vaccination status]
**Trip:** [FROM and TO, dates, length]
**How we're traveling:** [car / plane in cabin / plane in cargo / train / ferry]
**Accommodation:** [booked? pet-friendly confirmed?]

Give me:
1. Whether this trip is a good idea for my pet, or whether a sitter or boarding would be kinder, with the reasons.
2. Documents and rules to check: carrier or airline pet policies, size limits, health certificates, microchip and vaccination requirements, and any border or quarantine rules for international trips. Mark each [VERIFY WITH AIRLINE / OFFICIAL SOURCE] and tell me how far in advance to start.
3. A vet visit checklist before the trip, including questions to ask about motion sickness, anxiety, and whether my pet's breed has flight risks (e.g. short-nosed breeds).
4. A packing list for my pet: food, water, bowls, leash, waste bags, bedding, familiar toy, medications, records, a recent photo.
5. Travel-day plan: feeding timing, breaks every 2-3 hours by car, never leaving a pet in a parked car, and keeping ID tags on.
6. Settling in at the destination, plus how to find a local emergency vet.

Do not suggest sedating my pet without a vet's guidance.
