Are you one of the many people planning a road trip with your pet this summer? Heading out to Portland or the coast with your best-four-legged-friend?  Over 49% of adult travelers consider their pet to be part of the family and 18% of adult travelers can’t imagine a vacation without Fido. 

Leading slipcover and home solution company, Sure Fit, has introduced their "Auto Friends Collection", an easy, budget-friendly way to help keep your pet safe and your car protected. The hammock one-piece style secures to car seat headrests, keeping your pet from tumbling to the floor during sudden stops while working double duty to protecting the seats from fur and stains.  

The Sure Fit Auto Friends Collection is available in car seat, cargo mat, floor mat, and car hammock styles in a variety of colors on www.SureFit.com. All covers have a waterproof lining and no-slip grips, protecting from any accidents along the way  and range from $14.99-29.99.

And, Belltown pet owners, as for places to visit in Portland while there that will welcome your pet, the Lucky Labrador restaurant chain is famously pet-friendly. Pets are also invited to visit the Rose Gardens and Saturday outdoor market.  LaQuinta Inn at 4219 NW Yeon is one of the pet friendly hotels the TopDawg and I have stayed at when in Portland as well.

    There are even pet carriers for motorcyclists who travel with four legged family members.
