When maximizing points and miles for your family, there's no reason to leave the furriest family members out of the fun.
Whether you have a points pup or a first-class feline, there are plenty of ways to turn those monthly orders for food, toys, pet supplies and more into your next vacation. (We're just not responsible for what your pets may do when they see your suitcase come out — again.)
