Travelling with pet made easier

Bunty or Bumba or Sonu can. But what about Coco or Toffee or Mini? This question has long dogged the city's pet owners. While the holiday season is just around the corner, and the lure of the hills, or the thought of enjoying the autumn sun by the seaside too tempting to resist, leaving the blameless dearies back home is no less a pet peeve for many. But now, help is at hand. A number of entrepreneurs have come up with planned holidays to take care of pet needs for travel. Be it travelling by air or train or putting up at a hotel or resort, now plan your vacation with your furry friend.
International pet travel consultant Anupama Vinayak, who started her travel portal, Pet Vacations, in 2009, receives around five queries daily. "Bengalis are really fond of their pets. A lot of Kolkatans call me up for advice while planning holidays with their pets," she says. Anupama herself has a pet dog and the portal was formed out of her own concerns while travelling. "Problems arise out of the lack of clarity. Airlines don't write down the rules clearly, nor do railway authorities make them known. Here, we have pitched in to make pet travel stressfree for our customers," she explains.
