They travel without toothbrushes or clean underwear. They refuse to use silverware, most don’t shower and many sleep on the floor.
Nonetheless, millions of pets will join their human companions on vacation this summer and there will be pictures to prove it. AAA wants those pictures.
AAA has announced an open call for photos of traveling pets as part of its national AAA Pet Travel Photo Contest. Top prize: $100 pet store gift card and “pet supermodel status” on the AAA online Pet Photo Gallery and on AAA social media outlets, including the AAA.com/PetTravel home page.
The competition to enter your biped buddy began May 1 and ends December 24, 2019. However, there are quarterly competitions with the latest contest ending June 24. Subsequent contests will end on September 24 and December 24 this year.
For complete rules and deadlines are available at www.AAA.com/PetTravel. The winner of each quarter will be determined by popular vote.
The AAA Pet Travel website contains listings for more than 12,000 pet-friendly hotels, restaurants, attractions, national park lands and animal-loving campgrounds. It also lists property fees and amenities for pets, as well as additional details from AAA’s TourBooks. In addition, the book lists information to prepare your pet for travel, how to pack for your pet, and emergency medical clinics by state in the event your pet needs medical assistance while traveling.
