My guest this week is Emily Wilson from Pets Around the World. Emily is a travel writer who specialized in travel with pets. She's taken her two dogs to many National Parks and she hopes to one day be the one source of information about National Park travel with pets. She tells us which parks are most pet-friendly, what time of year is best to travel with pets to parks, how to keep your pets safe and so much more.

Show Notes

1. Dogs are allowed in most national parks, but
   where they are allowed inside each park will vary—even sometimes depending on
   the season.


2. Look for BARK ranger programs for dogs


3. Check in at the ranger station whenever you
   arrive at a new park


4. Encounters with wildlife: It’s best to avoide
   wildlife encounters if you can—so that means practicing bear safety and keeping
   food out of reach.


5. Some parks might not be hospitable to your pets,
   so consider leaving them with a border or pet sitter, so you can explore the places pets are not allowed.


6. If you travel to a lot of places with rattle
   snakes, consider signing your dog up for a rattle snake behavior class, so they learn to avoid them.
