Nothing says vacation like including Fido in your travel plans. After all, Fido is part of the family and just like any other family member you would not want to leave him home alone.If snow adventure is your cup of kibble, make sure Fido is prepared by bringing along his favorites from home. Experienced travelers will have a doggy duffel bag ready to grab and go with some of the following:

• Up to date vet records should your pet require boarding or be in need of a vet visit
• Any medications your pet currently takes
• Collar and leash with tag displaying cell phone should Fido go missing
• Food and treats
• Favorite toys
• Blankets and bedding (sheets to cover hotel furniture if Fido likes to climb up)
• Warm weather gear as required
