Memorial Day symbolizes the start of summer for individuals, families and their pets.
But before pet owners start planning trips to the beach and summer getaways, they should keep in mind that it’s important to plan ahead for pet travel and always keep the best interests of their furry, four-legged friends in mind.Traveling with a pet can be a wonderful and bonding experience or a not-so-pleasant one. It’s all a matter of proper planning and preparation.
