Traveling with kids and pets can be a complicated endeavor if you don’t stay organized. Both kids and pets require a lot of care and attention to stay happy and occupied throughout your trip. However, there are a few simple tips that will not only keep you organized but sane throughout the trip!
Prepping your kids and pets for the journey ahead will make for smooth sailing during the vacation. First, you need to make sure your pet can walk on a leash and can sit in a carrier for several hours. You also need to make sure your pet doesn’t get carsick or anxious on flights. If they do, you may need to give them something to calm them down pre-travel. During the car ride or flight, it’s equally as important to have collapsible food and water bowls, a blanket, and a toy to keep them comfortable. Your kids, on the other hand, will be fine as long as you give them snacks and some form of entertainment!
When traveling with pets, you’re going to need a proper carrier so your pet stays contained. When traveling by plane, your pet will need to remain in a carrier for the duration of the flight. Fortunately, airlines are very pet-friendly and can accommodate your pet for a safe flight. Just make sure to label the carrier “Live Animal” so people don’t mistake it for luggage. When traveling by car, just make sure your pet is comfortable in their carrier, letting them out to stretch and use the restroom regularly. You might also need to work with your pet on getting used to their carrier so they’re not anxious and know what to expect.
When traveling with kids and pets, you need to make sure your lodging accommodations are kid and pet-friendly. Hotels will sometimes have pet-friendly rooms for both you and your furry friend to stay in. The hotel may also offer a bed for them to sleep on, food and water bowls, and even a designated spot for them to go to the bathroom. As for kids, the hotels may offer special amenities such as kid-friendly buffets, swimming pools, arcade rooms, and even sports complexes! Another promising accommodation for both kids and pets is an Air BnB. You can filter for kid and pet-friendly stays where you might have a room or an entire place to yourselves!

When traveling with kids and pets, it’s important to bring plenty of food and water. You never know how long you’ll be out and about and you don’t want your kids or pets to go hungry or thirsty. Make sure you have plenty of water bottles, prepackaged snacks, and pet food with you in case of emergencies. You can also use the GoWhee app to search for local restaurants or grocery stores nearby without falling behind schedule!
Outdoor adventures like hikes or walking tours are a great way to get both the kids and pets involved! Hikes and outdoor tours are a great way to expend some energy and dive deep into nature. If you want to do a little shopping, you can also go to an outdoor shopping mall and bring your pets with you! Plus, you won’t have to leave your pet at a pet hotel or kennel because they’ll be able to join in on the fun with you!
