The Term Pet Friendly Varies Between Hotel & Motel Chains

By William E. Stephenson


Family vacation is actually fun when pets are involved. This is one of the most memorable bonding for families who are fond of adopting cats and dogs while in travel. Instead of leaving them alone at home, the pet owner must first know the "practice trip" ideas. These valuable ideas are essential while they are traveling as well in their hotel destinations.

Car rides are not always enjoyable for some pets. In actuality, some pets might vomit or pass soft stools during the travel. Some of the canine and feline species might want to put their heads outside the vehicle in order to see new environment aside from the vehicle. With this attitude, cases of unexpected accidents are possible. To prevent this from happening, you should secure them with seat belts while using their same cages. Ventilation is also essential but you do not want to fully open the windows into the point that your pet might jump and hit by the other moving vehicle. You can provide ventilation by opening your front or back windows into half an inch.

Agitation and stress are common to pets. These issues are actually due to long trips and inability for them to adjust in the new environment abruptly. In order to address these concerns and to make your pet comfortable, you must do the "practice trips". Essentially, practice trips are called the initial travel. You need to expose your pet in the travel and observe its reaction. If your pet vomits or shows stomach difficulties, you should bring some important materials like littering pads or plastics. Seat belts are also included. Be sure to secure your pet with safety belts during travel.

Registration papers, vaccination documents and health certificates from a vet are actually needed even though you are traveling not in abroad. These documents are very important and must be kept in your car drawers. If your pet accidentally lost because of wandering, those documents may help you and the search team. Clear pictures of your pets are also essential accompanied with documents. IDS and tags must be worn inside the hotel as well as during the travel.

Behavioral and stomach difficulties of pets may be prevented when early preparations are exercised. Littering pans and plastics must be included in your priority list of materials to bring before the travel because your pet might pass out soft stools due to stress. Aside from stomach difficulties, the mood of your pet must be observed. Agitation may be reduced by providing comfort during the travel. You must also bring blankets, favorite toys, foods and water. Yet take care its not as if you are going to have to throw out the visa card to pay for Rocky's extensive psychoanalysis at your local small animal hospital. Yet popular talk show host Micheal Savage recently had a $2,000 hit for extraction of 5 teeth for his good friend "Teddy". Micheal noted that his late father would have been aghast and would of told him "Let the dog have bad breath". Yet as Mr. Savage pondered . Teddy is my best friend, a member of my family and how could I not provide health care for him.
