Traveling With Pets Traveling With Pets People face special problems when they have pets and wish to travel. The ideal arrangement is for the animal to stay at home and have a neighbor, friend, or relative go by your house once or twice a day to feed, water, and take care of your pet.
Alternatives are a boarding kennel, or a professional pet sitter.
However, pets can become frightened and bolt away from you out of open doors and windows. Keep your pet on a leash when outside your car or hotel. Whether your pet travels with you or by another means it should wear a special identification tag in addition to its regular one. Write the pet's name, your name, the person to contact at the destination, their phone number, a destination address, or that of a friend or relative, in case you want to be reached. Except for seeing eye dogs accompanying blind persons, pets are not permitted on buses and trains.
