28 Jan 09 Taking your Pet on Holiday

Many people leave their pets behind when they go on holiday.  However, if you don’t want to pay to board your pet or can’t find someone to watch your pets while you’re away, you may elect to take them on holiday with you.  If you do, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make certain your hotel allows pets.  Many do not, and those that do usually charge an extra fee.  Be certain you know how much this fee is and what, if any, special rules the hotel has for pets.  You will also need to take food for your pet, and you may need to take a litter box, too.  A pet carrier may also be necessary, especially if you are travelling by plane, train, or bus. That brings up the second point: know how your transportation system handles pets.  Some may not allow pets to be transported at all.  Others may have specific requirements for the type of pet carrier used.  Make certain you understand all the fees and regulations for transporting your pet. Think carefully about what activities you plan on doing during your holiday.  If you are primarily doing things you can’t take your pet to, it may be best to leave your pet at home.  However, if you’ll be outdoors a lot, you can take your pet with you and give him some exercise.  Just be aware that you’ll need to clean up any messes your pet makes!
