The housesitters varied a bit in quality and many of them worked full time so the dog was alone most of the day. One housesitter's family had a medical emergency and she had to leave; another one brought her dog that got to sleep in our bed (which are dog would have loved to do but it was forbidden!). When our most recent dog was new she ran away from a housesitter - so being in her new home wasn't a comfort.

Now we take our dog to a kennel, but we checked a number of different kennels first. The one we selected has a doggy daycare component so it's really lively with lots of dogs in and out that come to play and socialize. And our dog gets to hang out with them during the day and then is in her individual kennel at night. Our vet wanted us to use their kennel but when we checked it out there were very few dogs there and it looked too lonely.

So my advice is to research all the kennels in your area and find the best one you can find. The dog will eventually get used to it. And you will know that your dog is safe and cared for no matter what. ]]> With Pets lauras http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8477 http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8443&goto=newpost Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:09:01 GMT Utah is still one of those places for roadtrips. i learned a few accommodations that welcome pets.

It's apparently not a serious illness in felines according to the Cornell University report that I read, but still -- we know air travel can be a breeding ground for illness and it certainly is for spreading that particular epidemic.

Better be safe than sorry.

They fly between major cities, but it sounds like a great inexpensive option.

Before traveling to any pet friendly hotel do your research. Talk to friends who also travel with their pets that have gone to the area and visit a hotel that they particularly enjoyed. In most cases the earlier you book your room the less expensive it will be, and the better your chances of getting the room and location that you want. ]]> With Pets Sherman http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7598 http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7892&goto=newpost Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:48:24 GMT My brother took a cat for international flight, but cat needed do all kind of tests, and buy a ticket for pet :D My brother took a cat for international flight, but cat needed do all kind of tests, and buy a ticket for pet :D ]]> With Pets Anders http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7892
