How to Plan a Pet-Friendly Vacation in Michigan

Pets are not just loving companions but may Michiganders consider them not just pets but family members. Over the years I have loved and lost many amazing animals. From my cat Joslyn who ran away two weeks before we moved and never returned, to a rescue dog who ended up going blind named Carly. We had to surgically remove her eyes, but she lived for another four and a half years and was the happiest little puppy.

Pets Are Family Members

We also had a beautiful Treeing Coon Hound named Izzy. She passed a few years ago, and it literally felt like my wife, my kids and myself lost a beloved family member. So when it comes to the decision of taking your pets with you on vacation or leaving them at home, many Michigan residents and tourists are always looking for pet-friendly options when planning their vacation.

As an avid pet lover, I like to try to include my fur babies as much as possible.
