Why leave your best friend home when you come on vacation? Tybee Vacation Rentals has some 40 pet friendly properties and we welcome them as part of your family. We have 2 dog parks, doggie welcome packets and walking trails. Call us at 912.786.5853 for reservations.

And if you plan on bringing your pet, keep these things in mind:

1. Go to your vet and get your pet checked out before you come. Get flea medicine and copies of the pet’s vaccine records just in case. Make sure your pet is healthy before traveling. You may want to even consider getting your pet microchipped with pertinent information on it.

2. Your pet should have a legible ID tag with his name, your name, your address, and your phone number even if it is microchipped.

3. Bring a few of the pet’s familiar items: food, bed, toys and treats. This isn’t the time to make changes which might make them sick.

4. Bring a crate just in case, and a gate to keep the pet confined to one area of your rental home.

5. Pack a first-aid kit for your animal. Ask your vet which items are best for traveling.

6. NEVER, EVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN THE CAR. Temperatures can heat up quickly or become very cold quickly.

7. Schedule regular stops when traveling with your pet. They need stretch breaks, bathroom breaks and water breaks. Give THEM a break.

We will look forward to seeing you and your pet on Tybee.
