One of our visitors mentioned that when visiting the Grand Canyon recently, she was surprised to find that the campsite in which they stayed had animal boarding. She said that it was very clean, had good rates and made it possible for them to go on a train ride that was offered. Read more

Pet Safety on the Road

I see it all the time… a driver holding a small dog in his or her lap while trying to manuever a vehicle down a busy street or on the open road. Invariably, the dog will move back and forth, and the driver will have to look around it on either side to try to watch the road. Unfortunately, I see this also with unrestrained small children.

Recreational Activities with Pets

Every day, people travel with their pets. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, they are always on the go. When they are off the road, they may go to the beach, visit dog parks or just have their companions with them wherever they may be throughout the day. In their down-time, they may play Frisbee or catch with a tennis ball or some other sort of fun activity with their four-legged friend.

Pet Heat Stroke Warnings

Heat stroke is a very important issue concerning your pet’s health and with the current heat wave sweeping many parts of the nation, it’s important to remember that high temperature, high humidity and poor ventilation can be a threat not only to humans but to pets as well. Temperatures can rise very quickly in a parked vehicle (even with the windows cracked).  Read more

Did you see the video clip about the rescued lion?

Okay, forgive me, as this is not a story about RVing, or even RVing with pets. But it is a story that speaks to the heart, and my experience has been that RVers, being good-hearted people themselves, appreciate stories that do. And since the good folks at RV.net were nice enough (or crazy enough) to give me the ability to post here, I’m going to share this video clip with you just in case you haven’t seen it elsewhere. It’s the story about a rescued lion named Christian.

Pet Travel Challenges

All of us like to travel with our pets when we can. It’s no fun for them (or us) when we have to leave them behind — even for a short time. Although traveling with pets has gotten easier and more fun with all of the pet travel products available on the market, we still encounter various challenges as we trek across town or across country.

RVing with pets and their unique needs

I would bet that most people who travel with pets have a canine along with them in the RV, car or plane. But there are a lot of folks who travel with their cats, birds and other pets as they head out for business or pleasure. The type of pet you travel with can have unique requirements for feeding, comfort, safety and other considerations. Birds, for example, have much more stringent travel needs than dogs. Some people would argue that cats are more difficult to travel with than dogs. Read more

In Memory of Old Fella

Sadly, Old Fella, the dog that moved many RVers to new levels of compassion, passed away on Saturday June 28, 2008 at 11:42 DST due to complications from bone cancer.

Many RVers came to know Old Fella from the RV.net forum, and will remember how this formerly skinny black stray, missing part of his back paw and most of his teeth, was rescued by Richard and Sue Daniels of Waynesboro, Georgia on September 5th, 2005.

Old Fella’s rescue story inspired animal lovers across the United States and even prompted Burke County’s first animal rescue organization. And many RV.net members joined in supporting the Daniels’ family as the unexpected vet bills began to mount.
