I have a lot of friends with children, and they always make the assumption that traveling is so much easier for my husband and I because we don’t. How little they know! You see, Jim (my husband) and I have pets: two dogs and two cats, to be precise. We also travel a lot, which means that our dear little Fifi, Samson, Princess and our newest baby Yoyo, travel with us.

The first thing we did was figure out all the rules and regulations of pet travel. We’ve done our fair share of online research over the last few years. That’s why I’ve put together a handy online pet travel resource guide which I use again and again to plan our pet travel adventures.

Of course, even after using these resources and buying the right travel equipment, traveling with your pets will be fraught with difficulties. We discovered this through trial and error. You’ve got to be prepared for the realities of pet travel!

You also have to know what you’re going to do if there is a situation where you can’t take the pets with you (out to a restaurant for a dinner for two, for example!) This means plenty of forward planning and a bit of patience too! 
