More Than Half Of RV Owners Travel With Pets
CHARLESTON, S.C. --- Fido may be top dog among RV owners who take their animals with them when they travel, but no matter what type of pet you own, if you want to take it along on your next RV trip you'll need to plan ahead.
That's the word from animal experts backed by statistics that show 57 percent of the nation's 8 million RV owners travel with their pets, most of them dogs. Bringing along the family pet should not be a last-minute decision, they say. In fact, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to make sure your dog or cat is ready for the trip.
Visiting the vet tops the list, since you will need to know if your pet is in good health and is up to date on shots and medication to protect it from rabies, heartworm, Lyme Disease, even fleas.
"You want to make sure your pet is healthy to travel and that there are no medical problems," says Humane Society of America issue specialist Kelly Connolly.
Make sure to obtain and take along a printout from the vet showing when and what shots your pet has been given, she adds. You may be required to show it in order to park your RV at some campgrounds and parks.
"You'll also need it to cross into Canada, Mexico or another foreign country," Connolly points out.
Plan to keep your pet in a travel crate that can be strapped in when you're on the road. "It's a matter of common sense," says Dr. Greg Hammer, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
In addition to being a potential distraction to the driver, a dog or cat left to run loose in an RV can be tossed around and injured if you have to stop short or go around a sharp curve, he warns.
"Animals that are not prepared to travel can suffer sickness and anxiety," adds Hammer, a Dover, Del., veterinarian. He urges pet owners to spend adequate time readying their animals for long trips normally associated with RV travel. "Some animals are bad about travel, even driving a mile down the road, but you can get them used to it by traveling with them for short periods of time."
It's important to spend the time to plan your RV trip with your pet in mind, says Hammer, with the American Veterinary Medical Association. "Treat your animal like you want to be treated. Make your pet's trip enjoyable."

New Study Shows RV Vacations Least Expensive
Study confirms cost-effectiveness of RV travel
OTTAWA -- Today, Go RVing Canada released a major new independent Family Vacation Cost Comparison Study. The study found typical family RV vacations to be up to 75 percent less expensive per day than the other types of trips. Several forms of travel were compared, and in all cases, RV vacations were more economical than other types of travel, regardless of trip duration, distance or region of the country where the vacation took place.
"This study confirms what we have been saying for years now," said Jeff Redmond, chairman of Go RVing Canada. "RV vacations represent the most economical way for families to travel and see the beautiful country that we live in. In today's economic environment, people need to know that RVs represent an adventurous form of travel that is more cost-conscious than any other vacation.
The comprehensive study, completed by PKF Consulting, took into account every aspect of RV travel and all expenses associated with RVs and other forms of travel, including the cost to own an RV. With purchase prices starting at $6,000, there is an RV to fit every budget and lifestyle. PKF compared the cost of RV vacations with two other popular forms of travel: driving and staying at hotels, and travelling by air and rental car with hotel accommodations.
"Prices of sample trips were calculated in every region of Canada and in each case, RV vacations were the most cost effective," continued Redmond.
"Regardless of the type of vehicle, nature of the trip or where it happened in Canada, RV travel came out on top every single time in terms of cost efficiency, and by very significant margins."
As an example, the average cost per day of a three-day camping vacation to Algonquin Provincial Park from Montreal using a folding camping trailer was found to be about 41 percent less expensive than the cost of a comparable car/hotel combination vacation; and about 75 percent less than the cost of a comparable air/hotel vacation.
The average cost per day of a 10-day camping vacation to Quebec City from Halifax using a folding camping trailer was found to be about 51 percent less expensive than the cost of a comparable car/hotel combination vacation; and about 66 percent less than the cost of a comparable air/hotel vacation.
The average cost per day of a three-day camping vacation to Sturgeon Falls from Toronto using a Type C motorhome was found to be about 35 percent less expensive than the cost of a comparable car/hotel combination vacation; and about 67 percent less than the cost of a comparable air/hotel vacation.
"As summer heats up, Canadians are realizing more and more that RV travel is not only adventurous, cost effective, and just plain fun, it is a lifestyle that leads to more quality family vacation time," said Redmond. "People who own RVs spend much more time traveling than those who don't because those who own them have known all along that there's no better way to see Canada than in an RV."
