Best Pet for travel?

[MagillaGorilla]

I thought it might be fun to share some good and bad pet traveling stories.

We travel with a chocolate Lab. She could not be easier to travel with. She never barks never has "accidents" in the MH and she is happy inside or outside. In short she is simply a joy to have along with us. Her only travel flaw is that she gets up on the couch when we are away from the camper. We end up removing the cushions and that fixes the problem. At home she never gets on the furniture.

We had a bulldog that passed past year at 13 years old (that's super old for a bulldog.) We did not travel with her because she would have been a terrible travel companion. She would have forced her way under the drivers feet for sure. There was no keeping her from where she wanted to be. Also she loved to pee in new places. Not good.

While in my travels I have seen people travel with 6 full sized Dalmatians, Parrots, cats and lizards. I bet there are some stories there.

We've been Class A RVing for 9 years now. Although we have owned dogs the entire time we never took them with us. We always had someone at home that could watch them. This year I decided I was taking the dog with us and it turns out to have been a great decision. RVing is better with her along. For starters it forces me to walk more often. The wife and I always walk when camping but now I do both, the dog walk and the wife walk. I also notice that I end up talking to more people when I have the dog.

I was lucky this year and did not have any rain when we were RVing. I don't imagine that a wet dog in a tiny house is much fun.

We travel with two 100 lb bernese mountain dogs! Only problem is fighting for the couch. The love to sit right next to me while driving. Great copilots.

Having had Labrador Retrievers since my wife was pregnant with our now 50-year-old daughter, we're kinda biased towards the breed. Our two, now 12 and 11 years old have enjoyed every minute of our adventures.

Sure, they're big and they shed hair like a blizzard, but our 32' rig was plenty big enough for the four of us, except when they both joined us in bed!

We don't have the RV any more, but we still have the dogs!

All our pets, Dachsund, rabbit, prairie dog, raccoon, and buffalo, ride very
quietly on the dashboard, looking out the window. Quiet, never make any noise,
and don't do their business on the floors, and best of all, don't have to get
up before daylight to take them out!

Best pet? Is the adult who can be TRAINED first. Then any pet that you love and care for.

We travel with our (now) 17 year old cat who is litter and leash trained. Does beautifully on outside walks. AND can be left overnight alone (with sufficient food and water) when we overnight away from the camper.

The best pet I travel with is my DW!!!!

We travel with our black lab. Never a problem. For the ultimate ease of travel, I would suggest a pet rock. Can also be used for protection if your aim is good!

Travel with 2 boxers. Best dogs ever. Love to travel love to be outside and are relaxed or as active as you want to be.
