It had to happen sooner or later: TripAdvisor®, the world's largest travel site*, announced the results of its pet travel survey of more than 1,100 U.S. animal-owners.
In the survey, the site called pets “veteran travelers.”
It showed that 44 percent of respondents have already traveled with pets with another 47 percent planning to do within a year.
Forty-four percent of respondents have traveled with their pets in the last 12 months, while 47 percent plan to do so in the next 12 months.
Among those planning to travel with their pets in the next 12 months, 96 percent will travel by car, and 12 percent will fly. Fifty-eight percent will stay in a pet-friendly hotel, fifty-four percent with family or friends, and 39 percent in a vacation rental.
TripAdvisor also identified the top 10 pet-friendly properties in the US, based on accommodations which have four or more circles out of five on TripAdvisor, and feature the greatest number of TripAdvisor traveler comments describing them as pet- or dog- friendly.
