• Traveling with fido

  f you are planning a trip, have you considered whether or not your dog gets to come along? Do you know how to travel with your dog? Traveling with your dog can be loads of fun if you make all the right arrangements. However, poor planning can really ruin the vacation for everyone. If you think it would be best for your dog to stay behind, then look for a pet sitter or find a kennel where you can board your dog. If you have decided that your furry companion should be part of your trip, let the planning begin. Start by keeping a collar with current identification on your dog at all times. <a href="http://allmilfporn.com/">MILF porn</a> A microchip may also be beneficial for extra security. Before you travel, your dog should have basic training so he will be well-behaved during the trip. Then, plan the transportation, accommodations and daily activities. Learning how to travel with your dog can make the experience less stressful and a lot of fun!

• El Portal Sedona Hotel Goes the Extra Mile for Traveling Pets!

  People are traveling more by car these days, with pets in tow. It is affordable and makes it possible for people to bring their pets with them rather than putting them in a kennels. However there is a drawback to traveling with pets: not all hotels or resorts allow pets on the premises. Planning ahead is a must – find out who takes pets, sizes allowed, fees, and if can you leave them while you tour around. There is one Sedona, Arizona luxury hotel that not only accepts pets but welcomes them with open arms. El Portal Sedona Hotel is the original pet friendly hotel in Sedona, where there is never a charge for your pet, and El Portal now has started a new Pet Day Care. If your pet is a good citizen, well mannered, and of good moral background, the staff at this Sedona hotel will keep an eye on your best friend while you are out and about taking in the sights. No other hotel in Arizona offers free pet-sitting. El Portal has fenced pet patios and yards, so your pet will be safe and well cared for. Oak Creek is close by for exercise and fun, while the hotel is located in a quiet and secluded neighborhood. According to owner Steve Segner, the pet friendly bed and breakfast started the service “because our customers travel with pets, and we want to make their trip to Sedona memorable, not to worry about what to do with their canine companion.” “We will keep an eye on the dog; all we ask for is a cell phone number in case of an emergency. We can walk, water, feed them, whatever they would like us to do, so they can go and have fun without worry.” Guests at El Portal have access to unique concierge services for Sedona and area. The staff, led Segner, will personally help guests plan their day, from hiking to wine tours to a trip to the Grand Canyon. Many of the hiking trails allow pets; however, pets are not welcomed on wine tours, hot air balloon rides, and many other attractions. Leashed pets are allowed on trails above the rim at the Grand Canyon, Mather Campground, Desert View Campground, and Trailer Village and throughout the developed areas, but not below the rim, in park lodging or on park buses. El Portal has its own jeep tour company, and is happy to have your pet aboard. Having a reputable and caring place to leave your pet is important, not only for the well being of your pet, but also for your own peace of mind. You’re on vacation to relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself and the beauty of Sedona, not to worry if your dog is being walked or fed. El Portal staff will work with you to make sure your dog is cared for. They can also recommend a wide variety of pet-related services and resources in Sedona, such as veterinary care, grooming, pet supplies and off-leash dog parks. So think of El Portal Sedona Hotel for your next Sedona Arizona vacation, and leave the pet sitting to them!

• Trouble getting our dog to potty when away from home.

  We have a 2 1/2 year old Lhasa Apso and she love to go for rides, but she will not potty when we are on the road. We tried taking her on one long trip and had to cut it short when she would not go. She hates to be left home when we go on long trips and we hate leaving her behind, but we have no idea what to do. When we have her out she is always on a leash and at home we have a fenced yard that she has free access to. Any ideas would be wonderful.

• shared charter flight for pets from Australia to Europe

  Hi - I am searching for others who are relocating to Europe with (without is ok too) an animal. I am wanting to collect a core of people with pets who want to share in the costs of a charter flight. To charter a flight to Europe is costly but it will allow us all to share the cost while letting our pets fly in the cabin with us. This will offer safe on-board and humane travel for our beloved pets. If you are interested you must be date flexible, destination flexible, be able to pay as much as $10,000 for a one way ride and have all the relevant animal importation documents need for Europe. To make any flight work we need to amass up to 15 people who are willing to put their animals safety first.
