Article Title: Tips For Traveling With Pets
Author: Dawn Orbeck
Every year, thousands of families bring their pets along on
their vacations. Some feel as if their pets are part of their
families, and don't want to leave them behind. For others, there
is simply no one at home to watch the pet, no funds available
for boarding, or the trip was a spur-of-the-
there was no time to consider anything else except to bring the
pet along.
Of course before you head out the door with your pet, there are
some things to consider like accommodations, because not all
hotels, motels, campgrounds and other lodgings accepts pets. So
go through this checklist before you hit the road so you don't
have to leave your cat or dog in an unsafe environment.
Do Some Research & Confirmation Work
Check popular campground guidebooks, hotel, motel and other
lodge listing research work to see which places accept pets.
Then call ahead to confirm, as most print publications went to
press at least a year ahead of time, and places may have changed
hands or ownership status along with their pet policies. Find
out if the location charges extra per night, plus if there are
deposits and if there are any size requirements (for example, do
they accept large dogs).
Portable Pet Kennels
Many pets ride fine in automobiles. However, some do not. Plus
you may be traveling part way by airplane, bus or other means,
and not only that, once you reach your destination, pet kennels
turn into pet beds, making safe havens for your furry friends
each night away from home. So you might want to check out
portable pet kennels.
For airline travel with pets, call ahead to the specific
airlines you'll be using for exact details and requirements for
traveling with pets. On some fights, you need to have given your
animal food and water roughly 2 hours before take off, so you'll
want to check for exact details to see what your pet will need
and the size carrier that's allowed, etc. Some smaller ones for
cats and small dogs may be allowed under the seat, so ask.
Fido's Belongings
When you are vacationing with your cat or dog, pack a favorite
toy or two, blanket or pillow, and any special things it may
need, just as you would your own. Don't forget some pet food, of
course, plus some snacks or treats. And if your pet may need
medication of any kind, bring along any medicines and / or any
pet vitamins, etc. that might be needed. And as an added
precaution, bring along the phone number of your vet, in case
there is an emergency.
