Sick of locking your pooch in a kennel while you go see the world? Well, according to Yahoo!Travel.com, pet travel options are growing significantly. Tara Kain, brainchild behind the website DogFriendly.com which publishes a list of dog-friendly hotels, says, “A lot of times, people travel with their dogs because they don’t see the dog often enough during the time they are working.”
According to the Travel Industry Association of America, more than 29 million Americans took trips of more than 50 miles with their pets during the past three years, and 80% of those Americans traveled with dogs. Nowadays, the article says, “from the French Alps to the New York Catskills and the California wine country, companies are offering tours where dogs are welcome and arrangements for man and beast are all made ahead of time.”
