Here are some tips for those wondering how to travel with pets: -Stop every couple of hours so your dogs can relieve themselves and make sure they get plenty of exercise. Tire them out. That way, they will sleep in the car when youre on the road. If you just let them do their business, they will still have tons of energy and will be active in the car. -book your hotel in advance to get better rates. Expedia has the best rates for pet friendly hotels -bring a big jug of water and use glad disposable bowls for food/water -dont tell the hotel that you have pets unless they ask. If they ask, you should definitely let them know. Extended Stay has the best pet policy (they dont ask) -if you do have to disclose that you have pets, expect to pay about $10 per pet per night -if youre traveling with a cat, those aluminum foil baking pans can double as a litter box. Use a pan liner on the pan, pour cat litter into it, and after your cat does his or her business, you can just bag up the litter and toss it. -keep your cat in a carrier! We had left the gate on ours open thinking he might want to roam around and stretch his legs. He ended up pooping on Davids favorite blanket. If we had kept him in the carrier, he would have held it and just meowed to let us know he needed to go. (Pets generally dont like to defecate where they sleep) -make sure you walk your dogs before you go to bed and as soon as you get up to avoid any accidents in the hotel room -keep pet treats handy -dont expect to leave your pets alone for extended periods of time. You dont want them to destroy anything or wake other guests up. If you are going to leave your pets in your hotel room, tire them out beforehand so then theyll just sleep. Dont forget to put your do not disturb sign up
