When you head out of town, you might not always leave your pets behind.

More and more Americans are taking our four-legged friends on vacation. From airline-approved carriers to car seats, there are all kinds of products available to help make cats and dogs more portable.

Tomlinson's Owner Scott Click says there are even treats you can give your pet to help them feel stress-free when traveling.
