You know who makes a great travel buddy? Our favorite four legged friends.

Maybe your pet is experiencing separation anxiety after the year we had. It's not abnormal after we've all been forced to spend more time together. If they seem stressed out because of it, why not take a vacation together?

Plus, trying to find someone to watch your pets when you go on vacation can be a pain in the butt. Kill two birds with one stone and take them with you.
