Part of the reason we want to bring our furry friend around when we travel is sharing the same thrill of the unknown with your pet that overall results in a wonderful experience to both of you. But out there the luxury of having everything right at your side becomes so limited. Health emergencies and unexpected natural disasters will be a lot harder when your miles away from home.

With that in mind, technologies can help with the struggles we have when we're traveling with our pets. Since most of us, dog owners can't leave without our phones, these apps will guide you along your journey. Whether traveling on the road, air, or sea, these smartphone apps will help make travel with your pet a lot easier.

BringFido

iOS

Can't find any pet-friendly hotel? Having a hard time looking for pet-friendly locations?

Walk For a Dog

Android/iOS

When you're traveling and exploring new locations you'll be walking a lot. You walk to the nearby attractions, stroll the streets or go on a hike with your pet. This app makes you walk a lot more fun and rewarding by turning those steps into dollars. When you use the app, the app tracks your walks. Then as you walk it is then converted into dollars that are automatically donated to the animal shelter or rescue organization of your choice. The more you walk, the more you donate. You can also enter your dog in the app and track their walking activity as well.
