Going on vacation and want to take your pet? No problem. Want your pet to stay home but aren’t thrilled about leaving them alone? No problem there, either.

The world of pets and travel has changed over recent years, offering more choices than ever. From Pet Airways, a new pets-only airline, to hotel chains with dog-friendly packages, you can now take your dog or cat just about anywhere. And with pet sitters offering “slumber parties,” and pet boarding spas with pools, cabanas and misters, gone is the guilt of leaving them home alone.

This issue of Petsguide is devoted to the ins and outs of pet travel: dos and don’ts, destinations and options. Between the editorial on pages 3 and 4, tips throughout the magazine, and our travel-related chapters (”Boarding and Daycare,” “Pet-Friendly Places,” “Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers” and “Travel”) you are on your way to becoming a travel expert. Warn those around you, as you may find yourself quoting airline statistics on the number of lost pets!

This summer/fall Petsguide also features new sections: “Pet-Friendly Living,” “Urban Trails” and “Volunteering.” These chapters offer great resources to expand your pet-centric life. Not to mention the 26 money-saving coupons here to expand your wallet-centric life!

Keep in mind that all of the information in Petsguide is readily available on our Web site: www.petsguidemagazine.com – even the coupons! When you are on the site, be sure to sign up for The Scoop, our free monthly newsletter coming out soon with the latest and greatest pet news.

Happy tails!
