Not too long ago I conducted an informal survey of RVers about how many have pets.

The results revealed about two-thirds (roughly 67 percent) do, in fact, travel with pets (usually dogs).

A while back, I did a podcast episode and got advice from a real-life pet detective about keeping your animal from getting lost, and what to do if it happens.

But what about traveling in general with a pet?

Traveling with Pets Experts

The go-to source for traveling with pets, in my opinion, is the husband-wife team behind GoPetFriendly.com – Rod and Amy Burkert.

Amy and Rod are full-time RVers themselves, traveling North America in a Class A and documenting thousands of places friendly to pets. Their site is an encyclopedia of travel advice for RVers looking for pet-friendly places.

Amy and Rod have traveled over 80,000 miles over the past five years with their two dogs, Buster and Ty. I talked to Amy and am happy to report she offered up lots of great advice for our listeners about traveling with their four-legged friends.

Traveling with Pets is Getting Easier

First off, she reports a trend that is going to make many of you happy.

"I think traveling with our pets is becoming easier," Amy told me. "More places are recognizing that (travelers) are a viable market."
