Nowadays, family vacations have taken on a whole new meaning. Vacation planning no longer includes Mom, Dad, Grandma and the kids. Now "Rover" has also made his way onto the vacation list. As time goes on, family pets seem to have become simply one of the kids. With this in mind, is it any wonder that more families are planning a pet vacation when it becomes time to getaway?

A travel pet can be a welcome partner on a trip. They can help with feelings of loneliness on those long flights or bus rides. They always seem to know when you aren't feeling well and will cuddle up next to you. Taking your pet saves you from traveling alone and may even provide some safety if it is a huge dog who has been trained to protect you. They can also be a welcome distraction on an otherwise boring, monotonous train or car ride.
