What You Need to Know to Travel with a Dog
TravellerDog.com is a site for people who want to travel with a dog. Traveling with man's best friend is great fun and adds a lot to the trip, but there are some challenges. TravellerDog.com's goal is to be the place to start when you plan a trip with your dog. We hope to inspire you to discover dog-friendly travel destinations, and we give heads-ups about places were traveling with a dog is challenging.
Planning international travel can be challenging for anyone. For me, it became all that much harder once I got my lovely dog and wanted to factor him into my travel-plans. As a new dog owner planning my first trips for me and my dog, I had difficulties finding the type of information I was looking for.
In my experience, it was fairly easy to find information about dog passport requirements, vaccination requirements and other bureaucratic necessities for traveling with a dog. But I was wondering things like if I would be able to bring my dog to restaurants when in the destination. And would I be able to find a dog-sitter for a few hours if I wanted to visit a few museums?
Although I did a lot of research, I wasn't able to find all the answers I wanted. But being who I am, I set out traveling with my dog anyway.
At this point in time, I have traveled a lot with my dog and I get many questions from curious dog-owners who wonder what it's like to travel with a dog. What challenges do I encounter when I travel with my dog? Does my dog like arriving in new places, or does he feel out of his comfort-zone? What is it like to fly with a dog? Where do I and my dog stay during our trips?
Because I now have so much experience in traveling with a dog, I decided to share what I know. On TravellerDog.com, I share the extensive research that I have done about the destinations that my dog and I have visited. I also share my personal experiences and travel-tips.
