Traveling is stressful. And your pet agrees. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go on a vacation together! Just follow the simple pet travel tips so that everyone can escape the rat race for a little while. You'll be tossing that Frisbee on the beach in no time!
Unless you’ve got extra cash to invest in pet daycare, plan a leisurely getaway. You need time to walk your dog, pet your cat, or converse with your talkative parrot. After all, pet vacations are a good opportunity to bond with your favorite furry family member! If you’re planning an eventful getaway and hope to sightsee all day every day, consider kenneling your pet or leaving them at home with loved ones. Clearwater Beach has an array of dog walkers, pet sitters, groomers as well as an excellent resource for natural pet foods. No to mention we also have several pet froendly restaurants, i.e. "Clear Sky Beachside Cafe" and "Clearwater Wine Company" where Yappy Hour is a big hit. These two are just a couple of the more popular restaurant locations. Pets must always be on a leash and remember to pick up after your furry friend!
