When people ask how your trip was, your answer might be A or B.<\/p>\n
A. Awesome! Terrier Toby loved the hotel staff and had a great time with us.<\/p>\n
B. Awful! Three hotels we booked no longer allowed dogs.<\/p>\n
To help you answer A, using apps, blogs and websites to find places that welcome Toby is definitely the smart choice. And to avoid the disappointment of B, don\u2019t assume websites are 100% current on pet policies.<\/p>\n
Review the information online, then call to confirm policies and personnel. If there is an issue it\u2019s a lot more compelling to say, \u201cI spoke with Yolanda on Friday at 2 p.m.\u201d instead of \u201cI talked to some lady last week.\u201d Print out any of those confirmation conversations from your notes or email; don\u2019t rely on your phone in case there are any connectivity issues when you try to check in.<\/p>\n There are countless industries catering to pet owners. Luckily for people on the move, there are niche specialty websites, apps and blogs that focus on traveling with pets.<\/p>\n \u201cThe good thing about dog-specific websites is they help answer questions that human-centric sites won\u2019t be able to,\u201d says Candy Pilar Godoy, based in New York City, who runs the Boogie the Pug travel site<\/a>, which features tips and equipment for traveling with dogs, as well as her adventures traveling with her own dogs, Boogie and Marcelo, around the world. \u201cThis is especially helpful if you\u2019re traveling with multiple pets, and\/or if you have a large dog.\u201d<\/p>\n Those sites can help you while researching at home, and on the fly on location. Jessica Williams, who created the You Did What With Your Wiener? travel site<\/a>, takes a combo approach. \u201cI do my research beforehand or just look for hotel chains that I know are dog-friendly, and Bark Bark<\/a> to help locate dog parks while on the road.\u201d Jessica\u2019s site and blog features travel product reviews and info about hiking and camping with her two Dachshunds in Seattle and beyond. \u201cBefore I head out for a trip, I\u2019ll often search for places, hotels and things to do on GoPetFriendly.com<\/a> and BringFido.com<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Both of those sites have many more fans, including Candy. \u201cBring Fido helps you locate nearby hotels, attractions and restaurants that welcome pets,\u201d she says. \u201cThey\u2019re the Yelp of the dog world, with reviews and photos submitted by other dog owners. Plus, they have easy-to-use search filters.\u201d<\/p>\n Candy cites another personal favorite. \u201cAllTrails has the largest collection of trail maps.\u201d AllTrails.com says more than 100,000 are listed. \u201cIt\u2019s great for hikers, and active dogs and dog owners,\u201d she says, \u201cBrowse photos and reviews, and filter your search by dog-friendly trails, so you know which welcome dogs. The app also gives you driving directions and lets you save your favorite trails.\u201d<\/p>\n You might find that blog browsing helps you determine your next trip. \u201cI love to read dog blogs, especially those geared toward travel lovers,\u201d Candy says. \u201cFirsthand accounts of a destination or activity are always insightful.\u201d<\/p>\n Just a few of the many travel resources to consider are below, ranging from, say, finding a dog-friendly hotel in New York to locating a pet sitter to visit your dog in that hotel while you\u2019re at a Broadway play.

Also includes pet-friendly activities, travel supplies and information like airline pet policies<\/p>\n Depending on your vacation location, you may prefer to maximize your time at the destination instead of on the journey. In that case, a plane may be your best option. Flying may or may not be optimal for your dog, and there are additional levels of research and paperwork required.<\/p>\n \u201cFlying for dogs is similar to flying for humans in that there are many variables,\u201d says Candy. \u201cDogs can fly in cargo, as baggage or in the cabin. Every airline has their own specific rules (there are no universal rules!) and country policies matter if you\u2019re flying internationally. If you\u2019re flying with your dog, make sure you do your homework beforehand and give yourself plenty of time to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n No matter where your dog is on the plane, she will need to be in a carrier of some kind, Candy adds. Get your dog used to her carrier or kennel, so it\u2019s a safe and comfortable space for her. Another reminder: \u201cBe vigilant of carrier requirements given by the airline, and make sure yours qualifies.<\/p>\n Seattle-based Jessica offers additional tips specific to using a carrier in the cabin to fit under an airline seat:<\/p>\n While not specific to dog owners, all-purpose travel sites can still be a helpful source of information. Keep in mind these sites often require an extra step to search \u201cdog\u201d as a filter. Many of them also remind you to ask about any restrictions on size, breeds or number of dogs.<\/p>\n Users should look for firsthand accounts, as well as tips from other dog owners, Candy says. \u201cSometimes a location will say it\u2019s pet-friendly, but reviews from patrons will help you know just how pet-friendly they are. There is a difference between businesses that tolerate pets and those that genuinely welcome them.\u201d<\/p>\n Other general sites can help, too, such as Google and Yelp. \u201cYelp has a dog-friendly function where businesses can say if you allow pets or not,\u201d Candy says. \u201cThey\u2019re also great for reading reviews. Sites you may find helpful include:<\/strong><\/p>\n TripAdvisor.com<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 enter \u201cdog\u201d in the search function, choose general, such as restaurants, or AAA.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 search under dog for specifics on the main site. There is also a sub page, AAA.com\/pettravel where you can search pet-friendly hotels, restaurants, attractions and campgrounds.<\/p>\n Expedia.com <\/a><\/strong>\u2013 there\u2019s a pet-friendly icon as one of the filters. It touts the highest rated pet-friendly hotels around the world.<\/p>\n Booking.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 one of the sites that doesn\u2019t have a dog section on the home page. But if you search under \u201cunique places to stay,\u201d you\u2019ll find a list of pet-friendly hotels.<\/p>\n If room service isn\u2019t important to you but a backyard is, you may choose to rent someone\u2019s home for your next vacation. Candy, who often uses Airbnb, cites extra space, a full kitchen and accommodation varieties \u2014 apartment, house or even houseboat \u2014 as worthy perks.<\/p>\n Going this route requires the same research you would use when contacting hotels. Candy recommends contacting the host directly to let them know about your pet, ensure the place is a good fit and ask questions before booking. \u201cIs the dog allowed home alone? Is there an extra cleaning fee? Ask questions to ensure the place is a good fit and so you\u2019re not surprised by the rules later,\u201d she says. \u201cBetter to know up front than to assume!\u201d<\/p>\n And while \u201cmake yourself at home\u201d is the optimal experience, make sure you find out where in the home your dog may not be welcome. \u201cSome general guidelines are to make sure your hosts know you are traveling with your dogs, ask if they have any other pets or animals on the property, be respectful and don\u2019t let your dogs on their furniture unless they give permission first,\u201d Jessica says. Even with permission, it\u2019s polite to bring a sheet from home to keep the fur (and anything else) off the furniture<\/p>\n zjessica has another tip to help you keep the home clean in another critical way. \u201cWatch your dog extra close for signs that she needs to go out to prevent accidents. Dogs sometimes don\u2019t know how to \u2018ask\u2019 you in a new place; the back door they usually go to isn\u2019t there.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with the well-known Airbnb, there are many home rental sites, some with a special focus you might find desirable. Also, many of these sites don\u2019t allow owners to delete reviews deemed undesirable, which may boost your peace of mind.<\/p>\n VRBO.com <\/a><\/strong>\u2013 lets you filter so only homes that allow pets show up in the listings. This is also the parent company to Vrbo and VacationRentals.com.<\/p>\n HomeToGo.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 offers multiple providers on the site, including Expedia and TripAdvisor, for a combo approach.<\/p>\n SellMyTimeshareNow.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 despite its name, this site also has listings of units for rent by their timeshare owners. Many locations are in resorts that may otherwise be out of your price range. Don\u2019t forget to make sure dogs are welcome at the resort itself, not just the timeshare rental.<\/p>\n TurnKeyVR.com<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 another misnomer, homes on this site are accessible through digital locks accessed on your smart phone. The app also includes restaurant ideas, as well as local entertainment options.<\/p>\n ThirdHome.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 specializes in luxury vacation rentals that may be more affordable than other routes. Listings include inns, estates and even castles.<\/p>\n With most summer vacations put on hold because of COVID-19 quarantining, road trips, camping and RVing were pretty much the only way to get away. But social distancing travel may be a way of life if you happen to have a dog who\u2019s very shy or fearful of new people. It could also be the best way to see how a rescue pup comes out of his shell when gradually introducing him to new things.<\/p>\n Related: How to Keep Your Dog \u2014 and Yourself \u2014 Sane on Road Trips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Along with the typical supplies, consider investing in a doggie stroller or backpack so your four-legged friend doesn\u2019t hinder your adventure when those legs get tired.<\/p>\n There are many sources dedicated to help with traveling with your four-legged friend via four wheels. They include:<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth reminding that while fun is the name of the game on vacation, safety for traveling Toby is all-important. If your dog hasn\u2019t been microchipped, this is a perfect time to have that done. Check your dog\u2019s ID tag and collar to make sure they are in good shape.<\/p>\n Days or weeks after all your research is done and reservations have been made, it\u2019s time to pack. And while Buffy won\u2019t need a bikini (or maybe she will, you do you), definitely have a checklist for your dog that covers food, toys and beyond. Ensure vaccinations are current and you have paperwork proving it. Other important documentation includes any prescriptions in case your dog runs out. (Did you know Costco fills many different drugs your pooch may be taking?)<\/p>\n Another must is a collapsible kennel. This can be used both at a picnic in the park and in the hotel room when your dog gets dog-tired from new people and activity. Some hotels require one.
