The pet travel market is booming, with about $6 billion spent annually by the 30 million Americans who said they had traveled with their pets in the past three years. It’s no surprise that more and more places are welcoming furry travelers, who are very happy with this trend.
We’ll be visiting some of the pet friendliest destinations in the country, showcasing the best lodgings, restaurants, hiking and hanging-out spots, and offering pet travel tips. We’ll also be highlighting places in every city that are doing creative things to help animals. We hope you’ll help us find the best your hometown has to offer.
Our host, Kyra Batte, is a beauty queen, animal advocate, and smart cookie: She graduated from the University of Arizona with a psychology degree and has been a pet enthusiast from way back. She shares her home in Tucson with Kissy, a toy poodle, and Kujo, a shy Shih-Tzu Maltese mix, and can’t wait to travel around the country meeting fellow animal lovers.

Welcome to the Pet Friendly Traveler, the first TV and internet show dedicated entirely to traveling with dogs -- and the occasional cat. As we embark -- emphasis on bark -- on a journey to the pet friendliest destinations in the country, we’ll be highlighting the top places to stay, dine, hike, stroll, and just hang out with the furry members of our family.
Our host, Kyra Batte, is a graduate of the University of Arizona and whose credits include: beauty queen, and actress in film, theater and television.
Our human host, Kyra, is terrific, but let’s face it: We’re a pet crazy crew. And we thought you would like to know a bit more about some of the fabulous pups who took part in our first photo shoot.
