1. the preparation
   the car ride
2. the hotel room

To ensure a pleasant trip with a pet, preparation is a must. Check out the accommodations and arrangements with your host before the trip, so everyone will know what to expect.

1. a new baby
   other guests who don't like pets
2. both of the above

Even if you've visited before with your pet, new circumstances may cause your host to prefer you not bring your pet to visit this time. Other guests who don't like pets, a new baby or a recent home renovation may have changed the pet dynamics.

1. always
   never
2. sometimes

Never expect your host to stock pet food, litter or any the other items your pet may use. Bring along whatever you will need to care for your pet.

1. a headache
   an upset stomach
2. ringworm

Your pet may experience symptoms of anxiety when visiting a new place for the first time. An upset stomach, increased shedding, constipation, moodiness, anxiety, whining, barking and increased aggression are all possible pet reactions that you should prepare for.

1. leash
   sweater
2. collar with tag

To help you find your pet if he gets lost or runs away when traveling, make sure he is wearing a collar with a tag that has your address and phone number on it.

1. your pet's medication
   your pet's favorite chair
2. your pet's bed

To prepare adequately for a trip to a friend's home with your pet, pack everything you might need during your stay including your pet's medication, food, toys, a leash, paper towels, trash bags and your vet's phone number.

1. different
   the same
2. many

Even if your host has a pet, their rules for them may be very different than yours. To avoid unpleasantness, ask first.

1. Ignore your host's rules.
   Do whatever you do at home.
2. Discuss rules and expectations from the start.

If you're up front with your host from the start about your pet's needs, you should be able to work out solutions that everyone is comfortable with.

1. Let him jump in all at once.
   Leave him alone to make his own adjustments.
2. Help him to acclimate gradually to his new surroundings.

When introducing a pet into a new environment, make sure to help it acclimate gradually and to provide a safe area where it can retreat if it gets overwhelmed.

1. Introduce it to other dogs.
   Expose it to new people and situations.
2. both of the above

Help your pet become more social by exposing it to new people and situations gradually over the course of its formative years. It will teach it that new experiences aren't always frightening.

1. your host's
   your
2. the police's

Don't expect your host to keep an eye on your dog or evaluate safety issues for you. It is your responsibility to make sure that precautions are taken for your pet's safety.

1. you
   small children
2. himself

If your dog is upset by his new surroundings, it may be a threat to small children, other animals or property. Be sure to keep a close watch on it until it settles in.

1. Keep it locked in the car.
   Keep it on a leash.
2. Keep it tied to a nearby tree.

Always keep your pet on a leash and never leave it unattended when taking it on an outdoor outing in an unfamiliar place. Be aware of any potential dangers, like road construction, in the area.

1. Pay close attention to your pet.
   Let your pet do whatever it wants.
2. Ignore your pet.

To avoid potentially unpleasant or dangerous situations, pay close attention to your pet when traveling to unfamiliar places. Your dog may exhibit inappropriate behavior if it becomes agitated or over-stimulated.

1. Ask them to clean it up.
   Ignore it.
2. Clean it up right away.

If your pet makes a mess in your friend's home while visiting, be sure to clean it up right away. Your hosts will probably not appreciate your leaving any mess unattended for long.

1. Figure you'll come back and clean it up later.
   Ignore it.
2. Clean it up right away.

Always be considerate and clean up after your pet in public places: carry plastic bags with you when you go out with your pet.

1. whine
   bark
2. both of the above

If you ever want to be invited back, you will need to make some arrangements to keep your pet happy during the night so it doesn't whine and bark all night.

1. immediately
   after a few minutes
2. after a few hours

If you respond immediately to your pet's whining and crying, this will encourage it to keep it up. Wait a few minutes before going in, visit it briefly and repeat until it calms down.

1. growling
   sitting
2. jumping

It is your responsibility as a pet owner to be aware of the signs of your pet's growing aggression, such as growling and lip curling, and to take steps to calm it.

1. Lock your pet in the garage.
   Use a muzzle at all times.
2. Keep your host's property secure.

Steps you should take to keep your pet safe in unfamiliar surroundings include keeping your host's property secure, making sure that your pet is safe in the car or on public transportation and watching for other animals that could be a danger to your pet.
