Pet Traveling Tips
General Travel Tips
Make sure the hotel accepts pets. And check either our on-line advertisements or
directly with the hotel, to find out any restrictions, fees, etc.

Many airlines also require these vaccinations. Check with your Airline before
intiating your trip

Unfortunately, if you're not traveling by car, domestic travel in the US is

problematic. While some local transportation businesses and authorities may allow
pets, Amtrak and Greyhound buses do not. Therefore, your options for traveling
with a pet are drastically reduced.

Don`t leave animals in the car in hot climates or during the warmer months, as
even a short time in a hot vehicle can be injurious to your pet.

And remeber, don�t leave pets alone for long periods
