If you’re a hard-working person balancing work, home, family and the world, you understand the importance of self-care! What’s the first thing we all do when we’re planning our next vacation? We look for the best accommodations with the most comfortable beds and the most amazing views, right?

If you are a cat or dog lover—and have your own fur baby, you understand firsthand the importance of every member of your family feeling comfortable on family trips.

United States Army veteran Angelina Cortez understood the assignment! As founder of PETS2GO International, she is pioneering the luxury pet travel experience. 

In 2003, she reached the ceiling of her frustration with the super generic welcome accommodations presented to her as she traveled through different hotels with her beloved cats. In fact, the experiences were so lackluster that she developed her own disposable litter boxes and began making her own pet travel packs. One day it dawned on her that other busy pet owners could benefit from these convenience packs; and it goes without saying that PETS2GO International was born through a labor of love. 

What started as a DIY project for her own benefit, quickly turned into a one-woman operation with Angelina handling corporate sales, inventory, product curation and everything in between.  Fast forward to 2021, the company has grown exponentially, and carries the reputation of the premier high-quality, pet amenity gift pack supplier to major hotel chains, hospitality companies and more.

Since inception, P2G proudly dons a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business badge and is a member in good standing with the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Administration and the Greater Miami & The Beaches Hotel Association.  Headquartered in Miami, the company’s fulfillment center (located in Stockbridge, GA) is a sprawling 30,000+ sqft multi-use facility that houses inventory, a full-service executive business center, a pet-friendly cabana, palm trees, a waterfall and even a pet focused podcast studio. From what we can see, the PETS2GO experience deserves 5-stars across the board!

While primarily catering to sophisticated hotel chains, in November 2021, the company launched its first ever direct to consumer campaign—debuting their holiday gift packs. Each pack includes: a souvenir gift box with handle, a BPA-free food bowl, 1 gourmet snack, waste bag dispenser (15 bags included), 2 gel pee pads and best of all, a winter themed toy.

In addition to all of the furry cuteness, PETS2GO is a proud partner and donor to local pet shelters and pet adoption agencies including Rescue Me Georgia. In the near future, Cortez will offer use of the facility to support pet rehoming events, fundraisers, films and other animal rights focused events.
