Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

For the pet owner with wanderlust, this guide is as necessary as Fido's leash and food bowl, with more than 4,400 Mobil-rated lodgings in North America that accept pets. There's an informative introduction that discusses whether or not to take your pet--and should you decide to (which is why you'd want this book in the first place), how best to insure a happy experience for you, your pet, and the places where you'll stay. There's a chapter on pet first aid and an appendix of pet resources, including catalogs, veterinary associations, and places to visit with your pet. Most of this book, however, is devoted to pet-friendly places to stay, providing room prices, amenities, and pet restrictions, if any, for lodgings across the continent from Alexander City, Alabama, to Trois-Rivières, Québec. --Stephanie Gold

As someone that travels with dogs a lot, I am always interested in books that will help me keep the dogs happy and comfortable.

The introduction is the best stuff I have seen written to help you plan ahead and have a good trip.

The resources section with plenty of phone numbers and web sites is excellent.

Everyone that travels with dogs (or cats) should have this book.

Joel Walton (author of Complete Idiot's Guide to Labrador Retrievers) does lots of doggy driving!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential guide to traveling with your pet, April 6, 1999

This review is from: Mobil 99: On the Road with Your Pet: More Than 4,000 Mobil-Rated Lodgings in North America for Travelers with Dogs, C ats and Other Pets (Mobil Travel Guide: on the Road With Your Pet) (Paperback)

"Mobile 99: On the Road with Your Pet" is an essential guide to traveling with your pet.

Andrea Arden not only lists more than 4,400 quality, pet-friendly hotels, motels, resorts, and inns nationwide, she provides two very helpful Appendixes: The first is a concise A-to-Z of health concerns, and the second is a highly-interesting combination of National Pet Resources and Places to Visit with Your Pet (yes, there is a dog lovers bookshop in Manhattan).

Arden's Introduction is must-reading for anyone who is contemplating traveling with your cat, dog, or any other animal companion. The author covers everything from what to pack and when to travel to pets that shouldn't travel by plane and pet stress (watch not only for your pet avoiding eye contact, but yawning!).

This is book is a much-needed resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't do it! Don't take any trip without this book, really., May 11, 1999

You just drove 16 hours straight, you're completely exhausted, and the only hotel in town won't take dogs. Enjoy sleeping in your car. As you fall asleep on your steering wheel, remember that you could have avoided all of this by getting this book in advance. My husband and I are planners by nature and the job of deciding where to go with our two Rotties isn't easy. You want to know where in the world you're going and not only that you'll find a place to stay with your dogs that's not a dive, but that you'll be able to have fun on vacation. I usually read up in the library before going on trips, but this was a book I broke down and bought. It stays in the glove compartment next to the Triple-A book!
