Animal Planet host weighs in on pet travel: Health records and crossing the border
When you picture a family vacation do you see your pets there with you? Imagine the sun on your face and the sand beneath your feet- and your dog by your side. Does it seem attainable? Animal Planet host and Puppy Bowl referee Dan Schachner thinks that it is and he has teamed up with Petco to help pet owners prepare for a trip with their pets. Although it does require a lot of planning in advance and dedicated research, travelling with your dog or cat can be a safe and enjoyable experience for the whole family.

Schachner knows
this because he is living it. He and I interviewed on May 6 while
he was in sunny Florida, US at the Trade Winds Grand Resort on St.
Pete beach with Hank. Hank is a 5-year-old hound mix who is available for
adoption at the Humane
Society of Tampa Bay. Schachner himself is a foster parent to a poodle
and spaniel mix. Trade Winds Grand Resort is a pet-friendly resort-
one of many that are converting to pro-pet throughout North America. Schachner
has travelled with pets many times and he knows that the first time going
foreign with Fido can be overwhelming.
