Flying with a pet is an adventure in itself, with a whole host of factors to consider. For instance, does the airline allow cats or small dogs into the passenger cabin, or do all pets fly as "baggage"? Takeyourpet.com makes things a bit easier by organizing the information on all major airlines in one location. The site even lists the relevant contact numbers for each airline.

America's national parks have pet policies in place that vary from one to another. Takeyourpet.com features a complete index of national parks, organized by state and by name, which users can click on and see the local pet policy. Takeyourpet.com even provides guidance on traveling across international borders or entering the United States with pets. In general, international pet travel requires certification that the pet is healthy and current on immunizations.

Traveling with safety in mind is important for both people and their pets. With that point in mind, Takeyourpet.com curates a list of emergency veterinary hospitals from coast to coast. In the unfortunate event of a lost pet, the Takeyourpet.com website features a to-do list of pro-active steps that will maximize the odds of recovering your furry friend.
