This week saw National Pet Day and next month is National Pet Month, plus with summer coming, people will be hitting the road (and sometimes the skies) with their dog. If you fall into that category with 30 million others, then you might need some help in traveling well with your dog.
We've taken quite a few dog trips and they can be challenging, but can also be very rewarding.

Getting there isn't all there is to your traveling. You also need to think about accommodations. Choice Hotels has some great tips on how to deal with hotels - not just their own - and what to bring in order for everyone to be safe and happy on your trip. There are lots of great, budget-friendly hotels and vacation rentals to choose from.

Don't forget to also look for pet-friendly restaurants, so your dog isn't staying in the car if you can help it. Most eating establishments with outside seating allow dogs, many coffee shops do, and, of course, you can always eat your own food at rest stops, parks, and overlooks. I love to look for dog parks, too. It's nice to let your dog run around off-leash in between long stretches in the car.
What are your favorite dog-friendly cities? From my experience, Portland, OR is lovely (and the coast, basically allows dogs everywhere), as is Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Kalispell & Missoula, MT.
