I am driving from Ludington, MI to Lewisburg, PA, tomorrow, on a trip I am taking. The dogs came with to keep me company. There is an option of going through Canada (lower Ontario) and Niagra Falls, or back down through Southern MI and Cleveland.
I think it would be lots of fun to go the Canada route, but I don't know how it would be to drive through the border with my dogs. I would be crossing by Point Edward. According to my research, I need to prove that the dogs have had their rabies shots. I have their tags but no paper documentation or anything. I am slightly concerned that they wouldn't just turn me around if I don't have to correct documents- they would take the dogs. Maybe that irrational but I've been following a story about Johnny Depp's wife being arrested in Australia for bringing her dogs! I have been to Toronto and Niagra Falls before, about three years ago, as well as visiting most parts of Canada- therefore it isn't exciting enough for me to completely throw caution to the wind and do it despite the small misgivings I have.
Anybody have any experience with crossing the border with their dogs? What about finding hotels that allow your pet?? Let me know your advice. My parents say "don't bother" but adventure is calling!
