Trip to Homecoming -- and Fur Kids

[Spyder_Cowgirl]

While I won't be going myself (boo, just not the right time), I am curious if any of our owners might head to Canada with their normal "riding partner" in tow (as in four legged). Have not seen this mentioned, so I am curious.

Are there are any hurdles or hoops that one might need to overcome if traveling with a pet?

Inquiring minds want to know .... Ann

We did a bit of investigating, and here's what we found:
If licenses are required for your Dog: have it.
Take along proof that your best riding buddy's shots are all up to date.
Make sure that your Hotel is Pet-Friendly.

It's not nearly as difficult as we imagined it would be!

Hi Spyder_Cowgirl,

Re: Are there are any hurdles or hoops that one might need to overcome if traveling with a pet?

Based upon what my brother tells me ( his wife & he travel with a small dog in their pickup ), the biggest problem is the increased prices for pets in motels. It seems as though it does ad quite a cost to the lodging.

Friends of mine will be taking their dog with them. Of course you're limited on hotels that will accept pets and then you have the issue of someone needing to be with the dog when you stop for food etc. Who gets to go to the bathroom first, who eats inside and who doesn't?

It is probably a good idea when traveling with your pets to carry proof of immunization and it a health certificate, whether you're leaving the country or not. If you had an emergency and needed to board the dog you'd need the documents.
