According to the Pet Products Association, one in four families now travel with their dog(s). Cats are also getting some road time. According to the Travel Industry Association of America, 15% of traveling pets are cats.

Most of the pet travel blogs I write are very subject-specific; a place, a product, a theme, etc. But not this one. Perhaps it's the heat. Or maybe it's my restless, wandering mind. In any case, below are a variety of tips to help you and your pet enjoy your next travel adventure.

Easy Traveler by Spirit Essences - spiritessences.com

This remedy can be used in your pet's water, on their body and sprinkled around their carrier. It helps relieve motion sickness for cats and dogs and even horses. Spirit Essences is the only line of essences founded by a veterinarian (Dr. Jean Hofve, DVM). She partnered with Cat Behavior Consultant Jackson Galaxy, who is now the owner and president of the company. If you haven't seen his show on Animal Planet, My Cat From Hell, I encourage you to do so. He is a genius.
