Introduction

If you are traveling with your furry family member otherwise known as your dog, there are hotels and motels across the country that are dog friendly. While looking for a hotel or motel to accommodate you and your furry family member, there are resources that can help you decide which dog-friendly hotel is best for you.

Finding accommodations for you and your dog while traveling can be a daunting task if you don’t know where to look. Not all hotels are dog friendly and not all hotels that are dog friendly may be the best choice for you and your furry friend. In some areas you may find that you don’t have a large choice of dog friendly hotels but many of the major chains in certain areas do have hotels or motels that are dog friendly and would gladly accommodate you and your dog.

While searching for the perfect dog friendly hotel you may also find that many of them will have a weight limit on pets they allow. There may also be a pet deposit required when you check-in to your hotel or motel room. Some of those deposits are refundable and some are not. The pet fee or deposit usually isn’t too large but with just about any hotel or motel you can expect that will be part of the expense you will incur when traveling and staying in hotels or motels.

Now that you know it’s a fact that dog friendly hotels do exist, you may wonder how you can find the best dog friendly hotel or motel to meet your lodging needs while traveling. 

There are some websites that will help you in your search for a dog friendly hotel in about any area they are available. Probably one of the best resources to locate a dog friendly hotel is www.bringfido.com. They have a full listing of pet friendly locations not just in the United States but in other countries as well. They even include listings for pet friendly bed and breakfasts, restaurants and more. There is also information about pet friendly flights, and other pet friendly services such as pet sitting and dog walking.

Another great online resource is www.petswelcome.com. Once again, a resource that offers lodging choices in the United States and in international locations as well. Now that you have decided where you are going, when you are going and have located the dog friendly hotels or motels you have to choose from, how do you find information about whether or not that particular dog friendly hotel or motel is one of the best?

Make your next online visit to the website Trip Advisor. Just go to www.triPadvisor.com and search for the hotel or motel you are considering. You will find reviews from people who have stayed at that hotel or motel before and based on the hotel or motel reviews, those properties are given ratings on Trip Advisor.

Another resource you can use to check ratings and reviews on hotels and motels www.hotelguides.com. With the information given you should be able to search, find, read reviews and reserve the dog friendly hotel or motel that suits you from the choices available. You can use those reviews to your benefit in making a determination on whether or not it is one of the best dog friendly hotel or motel you can find in the area you are traveling to.

Taking along a furry family member can sometimes be an extra hassle but like many people who are dog owner, their dog isn’t just a pet it’s a member of the family.

Tips and comments

Reading the reviews on www.tripadvisor.com or any other website can help you decide whether or not you want to stay at a particular hotel or motel.  Don't always base your decision on reviews as we all know how a bad experience most often results in someone speaking out whereas a good experience doesn't always bring about a comment.

Expect that most hotels and or motels will charge a pet fee or deposit of some sort so don't forget to budget appropriately. Keep your dog protected while traveling and make sure he or she is safe, sound and secure.
