Pet Friendly Lodging

People travel with pets for varied reasons. Families who are crossing interstate borders or traveling to international destinations, and refuse to leave their pets behind have longed for pet friendly lodging and accommodations whether in hotels/motels, beds and breakfasts, campgrounds, resorts, etc.

Hotels, airlines, and other vacation hubs have all tried to come up with pet-friendlier accommodations but pet owners themselves seem to have different criteria of what a pet friendly lodging is.

Most airlines need you to register your pet in advance after you bought a ticket and the number of pets you will along in your trip. Dogs and cats are usually the only pets allowed on board but in some consideration, smaller animals maybe taken as luggage. Airline companies have allowed this since millions of pet owners discovered how extra pleasurable traveling could be with pets.

In the U.S. alone, pet owners (dog owners for that matter) total to approximately 62 million people and 29 million from that number love to take their dogs with them when traveling. Airline companies would be incurring a huge loss if they deprive pet owners the chance to travel with pets.

Moreover, service animals sometimes accompany blind people and the elderly on their trip. These service animals (such as guide dogs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, monkeys, birds, and guinea pigs) can be allowed in the cabin provided that they are tied on a leash as the case may be.

Many hotels are now considerably conscious about having pet friendly accommodations due to recent surveys noting that pet owners would extend their loyalty to hotels and resorts that will show willingness to accommodate their pets. A total of 76% of the respondents shared the same sentiments while 16% of the respondents admitted they have, at least once during their travel, stealthily sneaked their dog into a hotel that doesn't permit pets.

What To Expect

You need to bear in mind that pet friendly lodging is a newly accepted type of service provided by hotels, so that you'll have to stay within their pet policies. For instance, hotel management knows not all its costumers like animals or pets, and they can allow you to take your pet around the hotel on the grounds that they should be tied on a leash or their respective safety shelters.

Pet friendly accommodations from hotels offer basic services like food while others do give pet treats and pet toys upon your arrival. Pet IDs, leashes and collars may also be included in the service. Expensive five-star hotels are good at spoiling your pets to your content. Your dog can indulge in the same luxury like you do.

In addition, you can place an order for your dog like roasted chicken and steaks from room service. You can ask for information from the hotel staff on who made the recipe to ensure the safety of your pet. Some hotels pet menus are actually designed by registered veterinarians.
