PETA's Top Tips for Traveling With Dogs
Dogs are a part of our families, so of course many of us want to take them along on vacations. Tens of millions of animals make journeys with their guardians within the United States every year. Vacation packages are being designed around animals and their guardians, and sales of items such as canine backpacks are soaring. Some major hotel chains have changed their attitudes toward animals and now welcome them. The American Automobile Association (AAA) says that the number of lodgings accepting companion animals in the United States surpasses 12,000.
Check out PETA’s list of animal-friendly hotels, emergency vets, campgrounds, beaches, and other places, as well as a list of helpful books.
Pooches and Planes Don’t Mix
Although flying might sometimes seem to be the fastest and least stressful way to go, it can be the opposite for a dog forced to fly in the cargo hold. The only time a dog (or any animal) should be placed on a plane is if you’re relocating and all other options are unavailable. If you have no choice (and we truly mean absolutely no choice, because transporting your companion animal in the cargo area is dangerous, terrifying, and potentially deadly), please follow the guidelines on this PETA factsheet.
