Taking your dog along eliminates these often expensive arrangements. And think of the added enjoyment and sense of safety you'll experience.
Most dogs can be excellent traveling companions.
Naturally, the younger they are when you accustom them to traveling, the more quickly they will adapt. But that doesn't mean that an older dog won't love vacationing with you. And it doesn't mean that the transition has to be difficult. Of course, every pooch is different. And you know yours better than anyone.
