The holiday season is upon us. But while this is often heralded as “the most wonderful time of the year,” that may not be the case for pet owners — who represent two-thirds of Americans — and their pets, who they are left to navigate the frenzy of holiday travel or choose to stay at home.
In our last report on holiday travel for pet owners, CivicScience found cost to be a key prohibitive factor for many pet owners considering travel, with airlines losing pet owners out of options. So, what are holiday travelers planning to do with their pets this year, and have preferences changed over time? Here is what the latest data from the CivicScience InsightStore shows:
Pet owners are less likely to travel this year
Traveling with pets isn’t always a walk in the park, and this year’s data underscores that. For one, holiday travelers this year are slightly less likely than non-travelers to be pet owners.

The data also shows that 42% of pet owners say that having a pet prevents them from traveling by air at least some of the time, up from 39% who said the same in 2021. similarly, 34% say that being a pet owner prevents them from staying in a hotel, up two percentage points from 2021.

Pandemic pet parents will travel more, but leave their pets at home
In general, newer pet owners are much more likely to travel. Currently, 49% of those who became pet owners during the COVID-19 pandemic say they will travel this holiday season, compared to just 23% of those who were pet owners before the pandemic.
Among vacation travelers, these newer pet parents make up a much larger percentage of those who will pursue pet care options such as pet boarding, something pet parents who have had their animals since before 2020 do very rarely. By contrast, those who owned pets before the pandemic are more than twice as likely to take their pets with them.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, money continues to be a concern, with lower income pet owners expressing more hesitation around traveling with their furry friends.
