Why travelling with pets feels overwhelming (and what most people overlook)

If you’ve ever taken your pet on a trip with you, you already know—it’s a whole different level of planning, finding pet-friendly stays or emergency vets on the road etc. Pet travel isn’t just about booking and packing treats, it can be a mixture of joy and anxiety making sure your furry companion is safe, comfortable, and welcome wherever you go.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a cross-country move, or a long-term adventure – even once you return home, the K9andKats.co.nz Pet Directory can be your new travel guide.


What is the K9andKats Pet Directory?

Think of it as Google Maps for pet parents—but put together specifically for your needs. The directory helps you quickly find:

  1. Pet-friendly accommodations
  2. Dog parks and walking trails
  3. Pet sitters, daycare, groomers, walkers, and even photographers
  4. 24/7 emergency vets and health providers
  5. Pet-welcoming restaurants and cafés

Wherever you’re going, K9andKats helps you feel like a local—with a pet-focused map

How to Use K9andKats While Traveling

Here’s how pet parents are using the directory to make travel smoother:

  • Before You Leave

    • Search for truly pet-welcoming accommodation—not just ones that allow pets, but ones that cater to them.

    • Check for dog parks or off-leash areas near your destination.

    • Look up sitters or daycares ahead of time in case you want a pet-free outing.

  • On the Road

    • Need a place to stop mid-drive that’s pet-friendly? Search rest stops or parks with dog areas.

    • Find pet-friendly cafés or patios where you won’t get glared at for bringing your pet.

  • In Case of Emergency

    • Quickly locate the closest vet clinic or 24-hour emergency vet.

    • Find nearby pet supplies if you forgot something (because we all forget something).


Bonus: It’s Not Just for Vacations

Even if you’re not traveling on holiday, the K9andKats pet directory is super useful for:

    • Moving to a new city

    • Visiting family or friends

    • Staycations or supporting local products and services

    • Planning pet-friendly meetups


Bottom Line: Travel Should Be Fun—for Both of You

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort, safety, or fun just because you’re bringing your pet. With the K9andKats Pet Directory, you can plan less, explore more, and feel confident that your furry friend will be just as happy as you are.
