Tips (http://www.travelingpets.com/tips.html)
This site has tips for traveling with your pets.
Keep in mind that pets can suffer from heatstroke when left in a confined space or in a hot vehicle. Take extra care to be sure there is ample ventilation. When in a car or motorhome, leave at least two windows open slightly to provide fresh ventilated air and be sure to park in the shade. Consider a solar powered fan, one that fits snugly into the window and is powered by the sun.
Be sure that you have provided at least one bowl of water for your pet to drink and, if you're going to be out for an extended period, add one or two more, just in case.
Make a definite point to always clean up after your pet. Places that allow pets are making a special accommodation and if we want to feel that our pets are welcome, we must not abuse the privilege. Treat the areas where you walk as if it were you own yard. Your courtesy will spread to others.
With warm weather upon us, these are some good things to keep in mind.
