ASPCA Press Release: Flying the ‘Furry’ Skies? Want to Avoid a ‘Ruff’ Road Trip?

ASPCA Offers Travel Tips to Pet Lovers before the Start of Vacation Season

NEW YORK, May 8, 2007—In a few weeks, the Memorial Day weekend will kick off the unofficial start of the travel season, and families around the country will head to airports to board flights to exotic destinations, or pack up the car for fun-filled road trips. But before you bring along your four-legged friends, the ASPCA wants to remind animal lovers and pet parents of some helpful travel tips for those busy summer months.

“More and more, pets are becoming an important part of our families, so it’s only natural that pets are being included in the summer vacation plans,” said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres. “But it’s important to keep certain things in mind before taking your animal companions along on flights or long car trips. That will ensure your pet’s safety, as well as make the trip an enjoyable one for everyone.”

Here are just some of the ways animal lovers can travel safely with their pets this summer...

Glad there is a forum for bringing up planning ahead for pet care. We had no idea the scramble for information on pet care. When we started www.care.com, we had an anecdotal belief in the disparity between seekers for pet care and consolidated industry information on the topic. Since then, just by seeker traffic, we’ve seen that there are many more people looking for quality and accredited information that are scrambling at the last minute. Part of the problem is that local providers often have to take care of pets when everyone goes on holiday at the same time.

Thank you ASCPA for looking out for our pet friends!
