It's a great time to be a dog. There are loads of petfriendly hotels, great equipment for making traveling safer and easier, and more people and places that seem to understand that having a dog along is just fine — in sum, traveling with your dog has never been as easy and enjoyable. But traveling with your dog isn't limited to vacations; it is also as matter-of-fact as driving to the veterinarian's office, the groomer, or any other place you need to take your dog regularly. The fact is, none of it will be easy or enjoyable if your dog is not a good traveler.
