Like any seasoned traveler knows, being prepared is key. We’ve put together our favorite tips to make traveling on contracts with your pets a breeze!   1. Housing Now, more than ever, it’s never been easier to find pet friendly places. Popular homestay apps like [Airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/a/pet-friendly/?c=.pi0.pk36239956_25650614176&ghost=true&gclid=CjwKCAjwo8-SBhAlEiwAopc9W8OwyFWyUaMXmTDibaXb-lEGCIW8zvMKmSuFdTBeWlh4cT2HUYA3cxoCOpQQAvD_BwE), Homeaway, or [Flipkey](https://www.flipkey.com/united-states-vacation-rentals/g191/hom_pets_all_yn.1/) allow you to filter by locations that are pet friendly. There are also a number of websites that allow you to search for pet-friendly stays such as [BringFido](https://www.bringfido.com/), Expedia, or [FurnishedFinder](https://www.furnishedfinder.com/housing/). ![](https://blog.advantagemedicalprofessionals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/TravelingwithPets_Embedded-300x200-1.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=TravelingwithPets_Embedded-300x200-1.jpg)   1. Medical Records Not only are medical records important for humans, but for pets too! Make sure you have printed and digital copies of your pet’s immunization and medical records. If they require any medication, make sure you stock up before you start your trip!   1. ![](https://blog.advantagemedicalprofessionals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Mountain-Pup-300x200-1.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=Mountain-Pup-300x200-1.jpg)Make Sure They’re Road Trip Ready Road trips should be comfortable for everyone. Have some food and water handy to make stops easy. It is typically recommended pets travel in a secured carrier for long trips. Having a comfortable place to lay down while you’re making your way to your final destination will keep them safe and happy.     1. Scope Out Pet-Friendly Places Dog parks and other pet-friendly places are a great way to meet new people when you’re on the road. Websites like [gopetfriendly.com](https://www.gopetfriendly.com/) or [meetup.com](https://www.meetup.com/topics/pets-animals/) have great information and meetups for pet owners around the country. ![](https://blog.advantagemedicalprofessionals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/TravelingwithPets_Embedded2-300x212-1.jpg?width=300&height=212&name=TravelingwithPets_Embedded2-300x212-1.jpg)   1.
