Puggle Owner Opines on Pet Travel

Medill Reports (Chicago) recently ran an article on an interesting trend. It seems as though more and more people are trying to make vacation and travel plans that will allow them to take Fido and/or Rover along for the fun.

As a pet lover, I can totally understand the desire to bring your pet with you for some summer fun, but it can be difficult. The article addresses many of the obstacles encountered by those who'd like their summer holiday a good fit for all family members--including their dogs!

One puggle owner is quoted in the piece:

"But not all pet-owners are willing to paw, er pay, the extra bills. Kristin Oswald, owner of a one-year-old Puggle, said hotels shouldn’t charge more than a one-time $25 refundable fee to have a pet in the room. "
