For the 68% of U.S. households with pets, moving to a new home means more than packing boxes — it’s about planning their furry family members journey as well. Driving is often the go-to choice for pet parents who want their dogs, cats, or other companions by their side, not in an airplane’s cargo hold or a relocation service’s van. Yet, the pre-travel challenge of finding pet-friendly hotels along the route — especially for those with more than two pets, large breeds, or cats — can turn planning into a stressful ordeal.
As a new pet parent, preparing for car travel with your furry sidekick is essential to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Whether it’s a short drive to the vet or a weekend getaway, having the right items on hand make all the difference. Here’s a list of car travel essentials that will help keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy on any journey.
Not all "pet-friendly" accommodations are created equal. Many properties simply allow pets, but some truly go above and beyond to make four-legged family members feel as welcome as their pet parents. These exceptional hotels, inns, and vacation rentals not only offer pet-friendly policies but also provide special amenities and services to ensure that pets (and their people) enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay.
Moving is a significant life event that affects millions of Americans each year. According to recent data, more than 27 million Americans relocated in 2023, driven by various factors such as job changes, the desire for more space, or the pursuit of a better lifestyle. While relocating offers the promise of a fresh start, it is also widely recognized as one of the most stressful experiences people face. When you add pets into the equation, the challenges multiply.
The hottest summer travel trend is actually a cool one. Instead of chasing the sun and heat, travelers are opting for temperate destinations that offer a reprieve from scorching weather while still providing a refreshing break. This shift is especially pronounced among pet parents, who prioritize finding pet-friendly accommodations and temperate environments to ensure their furry companions stay comfortable and content during the excessive heat of the summer months.
Summer vacations with your pet can be a fun and exciting way to share experiences and strengthen your bond. But it can present some added challenges, not the least of which is ensuring your pet is relaxed and happy throughout your trip.
We are a country that loves our pets. Nearly 70 percent of U.S. households have at least one pet. More Americans have pets than ever before, and more consider them to be family members than ever before. As a result, more pet parents are bringing their furry loved ones along with them when they travel – whether on a vacation, a weekend getaway, a move, or even a business trip.
Pet parents are on the move with their furkids more than ever before. Fortunately, they’re also taking pet safety behind the wheel more seriously. We recently asked a group of pet parents about their preferences for securing their pets on car rides, and we’re happy to say that the wide majority of people we polled do put in the time and effort to make sure their pets are safe, comfortable, and happy travelers.
With summer travel season in full swing, more pet parents are looking to plan getaways that include their furry family members. And we are not just talking about finding a hotel that allows Rover and Roxy. Discriminating pet parents are looking for much more.
Not all hotels that allow pets are created equal. There’s “pets allowed” and then there’s “pets welcome” – and discerning pet parents know the difference. When looking to book a hotel with their pets, pet parents know what they need and what they want.
Wanna go for a R-I-D-E?” These magic words are enough to send most dogs into a tailspin of excitement. Whether you’re going to the local dog park or on a cross-country expedition, to your dog, a road trip means new sights, new smells, and new friends. But does it mean safe travels? You make sure you and your human family are snugly buckled in before you head out in your car, but is your pet secure?
