An online directory for pet friendly hotels, vacations, resturants and more, bringyourpet.com, continuously polls its visitors to track trends in pet travel. According to numbers taken in 2007, 77% of pet owners frequently take their pets with them when traveling. Dogs are travel companions far more often then cats at a ratio of 84.6% travelers bringing their dogs vs. 6.3% of of pet owners who bring Kitty along.
My dog, Louis has flown with me and I have to say, I found it relatively hassle free. His charming face worked wonders in the security line and we moved right on through. Most pet jetsetters are small dogs who can travel above the plane rather then in cargo. I know many international pets who have flown around the world, their paws trekking on more exotic locations then most people!
So, what to get the serious canine jet setter as a going away gift?? The Global Gallivanter Deluxe by London company Lila Paws. The Gallivanter provides Fido with his very own luggage, conveniently made to stash his most precious of belongings.
These luxe luggage pieces are made to order, with a 12 week waiting period, so make sure you place your order as soon as you book your tickets. The trunks can be personalized with size specifications, your pet’s name and more, so make sure to inquire.
The frame of the trunk is handcrafted in wood and covered in Scandinavian leather with white leather straps and brass detailing.
The interior is covered in Italian black damask fabric and fitted with a water bowl, pet passport holder, a bone plush toy and spaces for a number of collar and lead sets. The opposite side of the suitcase is fitted with a cushion to serve as Fido’s home away from home comfy bed. Underneath the cushiony bed, there is plenty of room to pack Fido’s couture, heaven forbid he is without the appropriate attire for whatever occasion may arise.
Now you have no excuse for not giving a unique gift to the dog who has everything!
Visit lilapaws.com for more information or to order.

No, no, no. I don’t have to wait for things that I want. I just pee on them and they belong to me, right? Why do humans stress so much about buying things? If it weren’t for their pants they could just lift their legs and the world would be theirs for the taking.

For those who can’t leave your pets behind here are some travel tips so visit your local pet supplies store:
• Make sure your pet’s shots are up-to-date.
• Do not administer any medication or treatments without first discussing them with your veterinarian.
• Obtain documentation from your vet to show that your pet’s vaccinations are current, and that your companion is healthy.
• If you are traveling to another country, check with that nation’s embassy.
• Make sure your pets are wearing collars with current Identification tags.
• Pack any medications your pet may be taking.
• If you are traveling by automobile, think about the animal’s safety as well as your own.
• Do not leave an animal unattended in a vehicle.
• Check with the Airline Carrier for specific requirements when traveling with your pet.
• Try to book a direct flight to your destination to eliminate additional stress by airline transfers.
• Call your hotel/motel ahead to confirm that pets are accepted and if any additional fees are required.

So let me get this right. If I buy this luggage for the Fleas, I then have an excuse to travel to exotic places. This just might work . . .
