If you love to travel with your canine friend then it’s a good idea to always check ahead for pet accommodating hotels and transportation options. Your veterinary clinic Lakeville, MN may be able to recommend certain hotels or transportation sites that are dog friendly. If your travels include transportation by boat or ferry, make sure you call ahead to find out about the company’s pet policies. Many ferry systems allow for pet passengers as long as they are kept in the appropriate carrier. Some ferry systems may have weight or breed restrictions, so when you call make sure you ask specifically about your dog and include his weight and breed in your conversation. Some ferries allow walk on passengers to bring on-leash pets aboard in designated areas. Other ferries that allow automobiles, may allow your pet on board if he stays inside the vehicle.
