Don’t get left without a place to stay – keep this guide to pet friendly hotels close when travelling

When you are on the road, the last thing you want to worry about is whether the hotel you’ve booked for the night will cater to your furry friend. Using the information in this article you will learn not only how to find pet friendly hotels, but also how to help make your pet’s stay as comfortable as possible.

Preparing for Your Pet’s Stay

Many people make their travel and hotel reservations online these days through sites like Expedia.com or directly through the hotel’s site. This method is quick and convenient and it allows you to find vital information (such as the hotel’s pet policy) easily without having to navigate through an automated message service. Even if the website says that the hotel has a pet friendly policy, however, you should still call the hotel to confirm. You may also want to double check about any extra fees or deposits that may be required.

Once you’ve sorted out the details regarding the hotel itself, it is time to think about what you can do to make sure that your pet’s stay is as comfortable as possible. Many pets experience anxiety at being in the car and/or being away from home. To help mitigate your pet’s stress, try bringing along a few familiar items like a favorite toy or a blanket from your bed at home. You might also want to consider bringing your pet’s cage or kennel if you think it will help him to feel more secure. Make sure you bring along enough of your dog’s food to get him through the trip as well as any medication he may need. You might also want to bring along the phone number for your veterinarian just in case something happens.

Hotel Etiquette for Pet Owners

Even if a hotel is pet-friendly, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can let your dog have free reign of the place. Not all of the hotel’s guests will be pet owners so you need to be courteous and respectful when bringing your dog to the hotel. Follow these simple etiquette tips:

    Other Tips for Travelling with Pets

    Travelling with a pet can be a fun experience, but it can also be challenging if you have never done it before. Below you will find some simple tips to help make your trip a breeze:

      In addition to following these tips, take the time to do a little research before you hit the road. Make sure to research pet friendly hotels along your route – especially if you don’t book your hotel stay ahead of time. Do not assume that you will be able to find pet friendly hotels just anywhere – some hotels may allow pets but might have restrictions on breed or size. Do yourself a favor and be prepared.

      Some of the top hotel chains that accept pets include:

        Whether you are travelling for work or pleasure, bringing your furry friend with you can make the trip infinitely more enjoyable. As long as you do your research and make the proper preparations, your pet will enjoy his travel time as well.
