If you take your pet on vacation with you, make sure it s the kind of vacation where you can spend a lot of time together. If you ll be touring art galleries or museums, you ll be better off leaving your pet at home with a pet sitter. Your pet won t like the long hours of confinement in a motel room, unless it s a cat.
Cats are more able to adapt to being alone for an extended period of time.
When traveling with your dog in a car, plan on stopping at least every couple of hours for walking, stretching, and a drink of water. Take along a jug of water, your pet s water bowl, and his favorite food, of course. If your dog is high strung, it s best not to take it along on vacation with you. They have to keep other guests in mind, of course. Climate of your destination is a factor as well.
