Campfire Community • Tips, stories, and trusted travel know-how

Travel better with your pets — together.

Pull up a chair at the digital campfire.

Travel Tails Network is where pet travelers share stories, solve travel problems, and build safer, more confident journeys — together.

A note from the founder: We’re just getting started. Pull up a chair—early members help shape the tone, topics, and resources we build next.

We’re just getting started. Ask one question, share one tip, or submit one photo. Early members help shape what this community becomes.

These short testimonials (even 6–12 of them) dramatically improve trust. Replace with real quotes as soon as you have them.

“We found three dog-friendly stops in one afternoon. It felt like asking a friend who’s already done the trip.”

Three easy ways to participate today

Keep forms short and welcoming. If you use GoDaddy, these can route to your email or a form backend. For richer community features later, connect a forum or community tool—but start simple.

Share a story, tip, or photo

Short is perfect. If you have photos/video, include a link (Drive/Dropbox) or add upload tooling later.

Read Guidelines

Note: If you want “uploaded files,” you’ll need a form provider that supports uploads.

Ask a question (fast help)

This is a low-friction participation path and a strong early growth driver.

Optional: “Digital Campfire” moment
