More people regard pets like family and offer them a good life. Some animals live decades, so it's no surprise that some become lifelong pets.
In its 2023-2024 National Pet Owners Survey, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) reports that 66% (86.9 million) of US households have pets.
The APPA also reports that Americans spent $136.6 billion on pets in 2022 (via Forbes).
The number of individuals obtaining pets each year will undoubtedly rise in the future.
Travel is one way pet owners spend for their pets. Forbes reports that millions of travelers bring their pets, increasing pet-friendly travel experiences and accommodations.
There are several services for pet parents arranging trips, from premium pet resorts to pet-friendly Airbnb rentals.
With proper planning, you can do several things before and during the journey to make traveling easier for you and your pet.
