Don't Forget BringFido.

BringFido is a great resource when traveling with your little dog. Use it to find dog-friendly lodging, including hotels, bed & breakfasts and vacation rentals. The BringFido mobile app uses your locations to help you track down dog-friendly restaurants and attractions.

Book Directly With Your Hotel of Choice.

We suggest you always make your reservations at the hotel you want to stay at rather than using a travel site like Expedia or Travelocity. Many hotels have a limited number of pet-friendly rooms, so reserving your room directly with an individual hotel reduces the risk of surprises when you check in.

Also, many hotels will relax pet policies in light of emergency evacuations, which is one more reason to call specific properties to reserve a room.

Before You Leave

As you prepare to evacuate, be sure to pack your furry sidekick's current vaccine records, any special dietary needs or medicines. Be sure to pack food for a few days as well.
