A very helpful list from one of our dear clients, Candace: -All of the paperwork for customs and pick up (ID, your passport – if you have one, pet passport, invoice, airwaybill number) -Natural Dry Spray Shampoo Or Vinegar water (They sometimes are a little stinky from the trip) -A small garbage bag (to dump all the shavings/trash into from the crate) -Scissors to cut the zip ties off (sometimes waiting the few minutes on the customs person to find some is just too long) -Bottled water and bowl -Dog bed (we had a 4-hour trip back home and she slept almost the entire way home) -Harness & leash (if you need to stop for potty breaks) -Some extra Royal Canin food -Wet Wipes -There are some parents who arrange a PetSmart grooming service but many of you said that wipes or dry shampoo are enough.
