Traveling with pets
Find information about how traveling with pets in today’s world can be enjoyable. Road trips in the car and stays at hotels can be easier and more fun than in the past.

Going on vacation and thinking of taking your feline along? If your animal could talk, most would emphatically decline such an invitation. There are some cats that seem to like trips, but
they are the exception. Traveling with pets is stressful to them so if you can, leave them home. Yes, they will probably miss you but letting them stay home will cause less anxiety than taking them along.
Unlike dogs, felines don’t just jump into the car and want to go wherever you go. They are positively relieved to have the home to themselves. If you insist on their 
company you’ll need a pet carrier, a potty box and a bowl for water. If your kitty is trained on a leash a short walk every two hours would handle the potty box needs.
Traveling with pets to the relatives, camping or staying in a hotel/motel for a stay requires the necessary items for your kitty such as food, bowl for water, a pet carrier large enough for the animal to stand up and turn around, plus a suitable potty box. While traveling with pets at the relatives, keep your animal in the pet carrier except for short visits out of it. The surroundings are unfamiliar to your cat and will cause it uneasiness and stress. The same applies to camping. It is a good idea to accustom your kitty to a harness and leash before the trip so you can safely let it out of the pet carrier for a visit. Many owners believe that no matter how domesticated their
animal is they deserve the right to roam, play and sleep out side in the glory of their natural habitats. Doing so in a strange environment will spook the animal and it will disappear, and your loving animal will be gone. According to the Travel industry Association of America, 29.1 million people enjoy traveling with pets. Dogs account for the majority, but nearly 15 percent now consist of felines
Book a hotel for you and your pet with ease
The hotel/motel industry understands the need and has become a pet friendly industry. Before you make your travel plans to stay in a hotel/motel, and plan to take your kitty, keep in mind there is a big difference between “pet tolerant” and “pet friendly”. Pet tolerant hotels are those where you pay a fee and a deposit to allow your pet to stay in your room. Traveling with pets at pet friendly hotels, your pet is
free to roam the grounds under leash control and is catered to with designer pet beds and spa services. Upon arrival at a feline friendly luxury hotel your room is stocked with such item as a litter box, kitty bed, treats and a room service menu for feline entrees. Also there may be a “pet pampering kit” that may include a scratching post, catnip toy, or fresh baked treats. When making your reservation ask what is provided for your pet.
