With over 1,000 properties in the United States and Canada, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll be passing a pet-friendly Motel 6 on your next trip. So why not give them a try? They've even provided us with some tips on traveling with your pet, so you can be extra confident that they'll be happy to see your whole family when you arrive:

1. Packing is Essential!
Don't leave home without a pet carrier, food, water (ice cubes make for neater cars!), water and food bowls, leash or harness, collar with tags, baggies for clean up and a litter box and litter (for your feline friend).

2. Check Collar I.D.!
Be sure your buddy's tags offer the most current contact information, and don't forget to bring a health certificate, current rabies vaccination tag and a photo of each pet when travelling...just in case.

3. Everyone, Buckle Up!
It's safest for your animal to be restrained, either in a pet carrier or by a secured harness. You can find seat belt adapters, car seats and cargo barriers at most leading pet retailers.

4. Ouch!
And don't forget to bring a first-aid kit with tweezers, gauze and antiseptic to treat any minor mishaps along the way.
