Sounds like fun. Hope your daytrip was a good one. I envy you…we’ve got rain and flooding here in Virginia this weekend, so I’m stuck at home.

Thanks for the pet-friendly tips. I often take my rat terrier Toby Jax on hikes, and the thing I most often forget is something for him to drink out of. And trying to hold water in my hand to let him drink just does not work very well.

All good points. I think the main takeaway from your post is … whether you choose to travel with your pet or not, there are many options to make it fun, easy, and guilt free for both (all) of you!

Comment on Responsibilities on Road Trips by Stan Horst

As owner of a pet-friendly cabin rental business, and owner of a Rat Terrier named Toby Jax who travels with us, I appreciate what you’ve written. These suggestions that you’ve pointed out are really just common courtesies that anyone with a little respect toward others and any degree of consideration would automatically do. Yet they need pointed out to help those few individuals who abuse the privileges they are given.

I will say that the vast majority of our guests are very good about taking care of such things, and making sure their animals don’t leave too much of a mess. But there are a few individuals who simply don’t care. Those are the folks that have the potential to ruin it for the rest of us, and make us business owners want to stop allowing pets.

Truthfully, the common courtesies that pet owners should bestow upon others are no different than those that should apply to the rest of society. The simplest and most encompassing of which is known as the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” If everyone followed this simple guideline, the world would be a much friendlier place.

Comment on Dog Seat Belt? by Kelly

We have been using a dog seatbelt for our Boxer Stella for a few years now. It is harness style and is safe for dogs with large chests. You’ll need to research what belt is best for the type of dog you have. Stella has plenty of room to move around and can joyfully put her head out the window to feel the wind on her face. We like it because if there were to be an accident the harness seatbelt would protect her from flying forward. Ideally they say the best way to travel with pets is in a crate. However that becomes a space issue.

Good for you! We think traveling with our dogs is a lot more fun that leaving them at home! And the dogs think so too!! In fact, this year we plan to spend about 80% of our time on the road with the boys. We’ll keep an eye on you blog – no reason we should both have to learn the ins-and-outs of pet travel the hard way!

All good points. As you mention, don’t go out in a storm (whether you have a pet or not)! Amazing number of people who think they have to “do something” or “be there.” If you make that choice, your forcing it on your pet.

And if you are going to brave the weather, take water and food – for both you and your pet.
