Pets on the Go

This may give the impression that you can't have access to places you prefer because of this, but not necessarily. Certain hotel chains possess facilities that are pet friendly depending on the area you are travelling to. Wile making your reservations, you can do a little research and inquire on the regulations for the hotel of your choice. You can call and simply ask them, or if you prefer to use the internet you can visit certain websites that offer pet-friendly hotel suggestions. 

     If the trip you are planning is for activities you can do with your companion, and you are in the Virginia area, you can look up certain parks where you can enjoy your time together. Some of these parks can also be indoors, in case the weather doesn't agree with your outdoor activities. Other activities include tours, runs, cycling, pet shows, and even pet spa days.
