Isn’t it ironic? (Don’t cha think?)

In my ongoing effort to find Chloe a car bed that is big enough for her to sprawl in but would keep her safe in a crash, I landed, some years ago, on PetEgo’s Pet Tube. As you’ll see, I thought it was a great solution right up to the point (how sadly familiar those words are) that it was subjected to a crash test, and failed miserably.… Read the rest Related posts: PetEgo’s Pet Tube: Chloe’s current car safety solution For three years, Chloe’s car safety solution was a combination...

As I’ve said before, it’s easy to travel with a small pet dog (say, under 10 lbs.), and it’s pretty easy to travel with a pet Chloe’s size (she has variously weighed 13-16 lbs., and stands 12″ tall at the shoulder).… Read the rest Related posts: Reader’s report: Large SturdiBag on a Southwest 737-700 plane Here’s another photo to share with you of a large...

You would think that I’d have enough travel pet bowls by now — but I cannot resist gear of any kind, and pet stores load the area around the cash register with tempting products, and…well, you can imagine the rest.

Keri and I corresponded earlier this year, when she asked if I thought the Teafco Argo Petagon carrier might work for Flint, her “tall mini poodle with bigggggg hair and long legs.” I pointed her to my review of it, which she’d already seen, and confirmed that I thought it’d be a good match.… Read the rest Related posts: Reader’s report: The XL SturdiBag, in-cabin carrier for a tall Miniature Poodle As I’ve said before, it’s easy to travel with a...

Dublin’s public transit is a mixed bag, from the standpoint of pet-friendliness. Put briefly, if you have a small dog, you will do well on commuter rail, the DART coastal train, and intercity trains; and you can likely get around by bus.… Read the rest Related posts: Traveling by public transit (and train) in and around Rome with a pet dog Put briefly, your pet dog need only be leashed and...

I have long had a draft post about kayaking with a dog in my queue, waiting for content. I’m not a kayaker myself, and for many years the only text I had on an otherwise empty page was a note to put long-haired dogs in doggie t-shirts before strapping on their life vests, to avoid hair-pulling.… Read the rest Related posts: Photo Friday: Keeping your dog safe on the water This photo was taken last July at Devil’s Lake (or...

I’m happy to report that I’ve found a new, excellent dog travel tote, the Acorn Everyday Tote from Alite. The only downside is that it may be falling off Alite’s product list.

Tri-Rail is a 71-mile commuter railway on the east side of Florida, connecting West Palm Beach and Miami by way of Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and other communities (now operated by the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, the Tri-Rail trains run on tracks once owned and operated by CSX — the line was formerly CSX’s Miami Subdivision).… Read the rest Related posts: The Cross Sound Ferry: Dogs allowed My sister-in-law, whose family has lived on Long Island since...

When you learn that Ink48 is a Kimpton hotel, you know that of course it’s pet-friendly, and that means, among many other things, that there’s no pet fee — an important point in a spendy town like New York. This particular Kimpton may also be a hair less expensive than the other NYC Kimptons, and if I’m right about that, I’ll make another guess that it’s because it’s in a neighborhood that’s a hair farther away from the bright lights of the big city.… Read the rest Related posts: Portland, Oregon’s Mark Spencer Hotel: Pet-friendly in the Pearl I had previously stayed at Kimpton hotels i ..read more
