Finding Pet Friendly Hotels

If you’ve decided to take your dog along on your next vacation, you’re probably searching for dog friendly hotels and motels. You don’t want to stay somewhere gross, but rather in a nice, affordable spot where the whole family will have a good vacation.

Fortunately, these days, lots of hotels are pet friendly because they know that pet owners want to travel with their dogs and they’re making big changes to their properties to enable you to do exactly that. So, here’s how to book a room at dog friendly hotels motels:

1) Ask about the pet policy. Are there size limitations? Will the dog need to be crated when left alone in the room? (Is the dog not allowed to be left alone in the room?) Find out all the nitty gritty details before you commit to a dog friendly hotel or motel.

2) Find out about the facilities. What kinds of spaces do they have for dogs? How often are those spaces cleaned? (Remember to clean up after your dog, but of course, not all guests will be so responsible.) How far are these spaces from the dog friendly hotel rooms?

3) Find out about extra charges and if there’s any way to negotiate on those. Sometimes, if you provide proof that your dog is on a monthly flea prevention, they’ll waive the deposit. Other times, a letter from your vet is good for a “good behavior” discount. So, ask! Dog friendly hotels / motels want you to bring your best friend along and often have special incentives to encourage you to do so.

It’ll be a vacation to remember when you bring your dog along; best of luck booking your dog friendly hotels / motels rooms.
