Holidays are a time when most people love to travel. But people having pets at home may find it difficult to have a relaxed vacation as they would find it difficult to accommodate their pets. Many people prefer to take their pets along with them on their vacations as they don’t have anyone else to take care of them or they don’t want to put their pets in pet care centers the whole while.

There are several things to consider when you’re taking your pet along with you. You need to be very careful when travelling with pets by air. First you need to make sure the airline allows pet travel, then make arrangements with the airlines for pet travel and also pay for its ticket. You also need to get proper travel insurance for your pet, get it vaccinated, give it an identification tag, and always carry your pet in a carrier. A health certificate from a vet is very essential when you want to travel to an international country.

Next, when selecting hotels make sure you select the ones that provide good services and facilities for pets. Few hotels even offer specialized services, such as personalized beds and gourmet treats for pets.

Alison Stein Wellner a prolific travel writer, author, and long time freelancer, who also writes a blog about travel for the Huffington post , a travel and lifestyle column for TheStreet.com, appeared as a guest on the Travel Show by Steve Perillo. Apart from talking about her experiences with hot food in different places, on the show Alison Wellner spoke about pet travel as well. She was of the opinion that high end hotels are more pet friendly and even named a few places that provide special services, such as pet menu, cocktail hours, and surf lessons for pets.

So, if you’re planning your vacation and want to take your pet along, make sure you do all the required things and don’t forget to catch the episode of Alison Wellner on Steve Perillo to get useful tips about pet travel.
