Pretending your pet is a service animal or an emotional support animal when they are not.

Encouraging your pet to go overboard or to hop into unknown moving bodies of water.

Taking your pet into areas and activities that are unsafe, uncomfortable, or scary to your pet.

Leaving your pet's potty waste behind for others to step in-gross and rude!.

Taking your pet off-leash in leash-required areas.

Sneaking your pet into non-pet-friendly lodgings or attractions.

Certain trails are pet-friendly but require a pet permit ( Methow Trails for example) so please do your due diligence and have your pet permit ready if needed.

If you find that they have motion sickness or anxiety, consult your veterinarian.

Take practice trips ahead of time so your pet is used to and comfortable traveling.

Bringing current medical records and immunizations is also a great contingency plan in case of emergency illness or injury. Also be sure to have a current photo of your pet (we know you have a bunch on your phone!) just in case the unthinkable happens and you are separated during your outing.

Pack the Must-Haves: Bottled water and enough food for the trip plus extra, feeding and watering bowl, treats, leash and collar/harness with identification tags (and perhaps an extra, just in case), pet cleaner and paper towels in case of potty accidents, waste bags, your pet's favorite blanket, toys and crate (if they are used to using one), your pet's medications (if needed) and a couple old towels to dry off your pet after swimming, muddy playing or simply yucky weather.

There is no surprise so unpleasant as to find that your baby will not be allowed in and trying to find a new place to stay on the fly-no fun at all!

Select pet-friendly accommodations and understand and comply with each property's policies.

Plan your trip itinerary in advance ensuring that you and your pet have exercise and potty breaks about every two hours.
