As we move into the fall months and the weather cools (unless you are down here in Texas), people tend to think less about vacations and more about all the holidays on the horizon. But those holidays often include travel, and while you might not want to take Fido on your tropical summer get-away…bringing him to stay a few nights at your parents’ house for Thanksgiving might be just what you need to survive another family gathering.
Of course I would recommend you find a fabulous pet sitter to give your furry family members all the love and attention they could need…but I might be bias.
Traveling with pets can definitely be an exciting adventure – as long as your trip is well planned. We have a great resource of information on traveling with your pet here. It includes everything from general travel tips, to information on airline guidelines for pets, to what hotels will allow pets to stay on their property.
Some smart pet lovers over at the Brenham Community Center found a great resource on a website about truckers traveling with their pets. Check it out here. It outlines basic information about being on the road with dog and cats (…and also mentions traveling with rabbits and birds. I’m not sure I’d ever be that brave!) Our Online Directory has been updated to include a link to this informative page. Big thanks to the kids out at the Brenham Community Center for sharing the information they found as they work hard on their project!
Feel free to leave any tips you have for traveling with your pets in the comments below. I’d love to hear any personal experiences or “adventures” you have had while traveling with your furry children….and please please please leave a comment if you have ever road tripped with a bunny!
