Is Askal & Cavapoo Dog Breed Easy to Carry While Traveling?

Greetings!I am visiting the Philippines next month because of my official duties. I am visiting this beautiful country without my family, especially without my preteen son and daughter, and they are a little sad because of it. So, I decided to bring Askal dogs for them. Probably, many of you would call them Aspin dogs. As a family, we have never raised any dog other than Gold Retriever and bulldog, so it is the first time when we are looking for another dog. Do you think it will be easy for us…

Which Rabbit Breed Is Easy to Carry While Traveling?

Greetings!This March, I am going for a 15 days holiday break with my daughter and husband. We are going to visit Germany this time, but my daughter also wants to carry a pet with her. My husband suggested taking a well-groomed dog with her, but she wants a small animal, and for sure, it is a bunny. Actually, her friend Nancy adopted a bunny last month, and it is also influencing her to have a bunny. Honestly, my entire family never had a bunny as a pet. So, we are not sure how we will carry a…

Seven puppies have died on an American Airlines flight from Tulsa to Chicago. It must have been a horrible death for them. How can we get the airlines to treat pets more humanely?

Just thought to let everyone know, following certain rules, we allow pets to stay with our guests inside our rental property, Rundles-Morris House, located in Canada's top theater-cum-foodie towns, Stratford, Ontario: http://www.rundlesrestaurant.com/MorrisHouse.htm

Petflight.com also has some useful info on, um, pet flights. Also reports on pet incidents on airlines. Does anyone know of a list of pet fees, by airline, to help us choose the most reasonable one when we travel? That would be useful indeed...

Possibly one of NYC's fanciest and most notoriously pet-friendly hotels is downtown's SoHo Grand (www.SoHoGrand.com), built by the CEO of the pet supply empire Hartz Mountain Industries (I'd actually be surprised if Susan hadn't already heard of it). Last I saw, there were dog statues in the public areas, a "dog bar," and of course our four-legged friends are welcome in many rooms (I believe others are set aside for the animal-allergic). If you can't bring your own pet, they'll even get you a loaner during your stay -- a goldfish!

Here's the section on pets from their web site FAQ:

"Are you a pet friendly hotel? If so, what kinds of pets do you allow?
Yes! Humans aren’t the only guests treated to all the luxuries that Soho Grand provides. We allow domesticated pets that are trained and well-behaved. If travelers cannot bring their pets, we offer a goldfish companion for the duration of their stay.

What are the pet amenities and services offered by the hotel?
Upon request, we can have your guestroom set up with pet bed, food and water bowls, and treats -- at no extra cost. We also loan kennels and pet beds of various sizes, food and water bowls, and kitty litter boxes. Along with complimentary treats at the front desk, we also provide a pet food menu through room service. We can also arrange for pet sitters, dog walkers, pet spas (all grooming done off property) and veterinary care through our Concierge team.

*Please note that except for seeing eye-dogs, or any health related assistance, pets are prohibited from entering the restaurants and bars due to health codes. However, your pet is always welcome in the public area of the Grand Bar & Lounge."
