Survey Says: More Owners Than Ever are Traveling with their Dogs
Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) August 13, 2015 -- Just a decade ago, only 19 percent of owners were bringing their furry pals along with them on road trips. Now that number has more than doubled as 37 percent of owners take their dog in the car with them, rather than leaving him behind when they travel. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors or visiting friends and family, the pet industry has made it easier and more convenient to include pets in their travels. Here are some great new pet products, manufactured by APPA members designed to enhance the pet travel experience.
