Pet travel just got more friendly!  American's obsession with their pets has led more airlines to embrace dogs and cats on-board their planes. While most major airlines now allow pets, some airlines are real standouts - offering special pet programs and frequent flier miles for furry travelers and their people.

Pet friendly hotels and accommodations are not created equal.  There are some that are real stand outs. The pet friendly Bed and Breakfast at Ponder Cove is one of them. 

You're all packed and ready to hit the open road with Fido and Fluffy for your Thanksgiving journey. Practicing some common sense rules of the road will help ensure that your dog, cat, or other furry friend has a happy and safe holiday.

The pet industry is thriving!   By 2019, the industry is expected to hit $91.72 billion in sales.  America's and the world's love affair with their pets is evidenced by their spending habits. Dog and cat parents' spending is at an all-time high, and much of it is on pet travel.

As pet lovers, we know it's just not a vacation if we don't bring our family's four-legged member! Vacations are about enjoying time together, relaxing, and de-stressing.

TravelCenters of America LLC  ("TA") is adding to its full-service benefits by welcoming back-seat drivers of the furry kind to all travel centers within the TA and Petro Stopping Centers network.
 

If your pets are anything like my dogs, they get very excited when they get to go for a ride. I open up the car door and they jump right in without any prompting, tails wagging happily and smiles on their faces. But if we're headed out for a trip that's going to last longer than an hour, I inevitably get the "Are we there yet?" whines and whimpers and panting.

Downward Dog is no longer something that only humans do during their yoga practice!  Finally, the position's namesake can join in with their person and get their Zen on.  It's called doga - a cute combination of the words "dog" and "yoga" - and it has been gaining in popularity over the past few years.
