Traveling can be very stressful not only for you but also for your pet. Being placed in completely unfamiliar places, surrounded by unfamiliar smells, people, food and more can be more than enough to change your confident pooch into a quivering fur ball or overly-excited, overly-curious canine. To help you prepare yourself and your pet for your next journey, here are a few tips to help ease the way.

Spas at a resort/hotel usually include spa services, fitness and wellness programs and occasionally special spa cuisine. Resort and hotel spas often offer a wide variety of recreational facilities including a full-service spa. Activities available may include golf, tennis, horseback riding, skiing and water sports.

Destination spas offer the full-scale spa experience where every guest is a participant. All-inclusive programs provide fitness activities, spa cuisine, various therapeutic spa and body treatments, educational classes and often mind/body/spirit offerings to help spa goers live a healthier, happier lifestyle when they leave.

Casino Spas offer vacationers a chance to try their hand at any number of exciting games of chance and spa luxuries without leaving the high-end premises.

Day Spas and Salon Spas are full-service spas that offer hour-long to full-day pampering or therapeutic treatments. Soothing massages, beautifying facials and rejuvenating body wraps are just a few of the spa treatments that are usually provided at day spas. Visiting a day spa is a great way to take a break from your usual, daily routine without the time commitment of a destination spa.

Med spas operate under the full-time supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. Medical personnel work alongside spa therapists to combine clinical-grade aesthetic enhancement with spa treatments/concepts to create a true beautification experience. Med spas may or may not have overnight accommodations.

Wellness medical spas provide wide-ranging wellness and preventive care treatments that usually follow traditional Western medical concepts, complementary/alternative philosophies or a combination of the two (known as integrative medicine). Spa treatments are incorporated into wellness programs as an effective way to revitalize the body and to reduce stress.

Mobile spas bring professional practitioners to your home or office, making it convenient to enjoy pampering spa services such as facials, massages, manicures, and pedicures in the comfort of your own space.
