1.
Call Ahead
Even if you've found a pet-friendly
hotel, call the hotel directly and double check
their pet policies. Ask about any fees or deposits required.
Ask about any size or weight limits the hotel imposes
to ensure your pet will be welcome.
2.
Bring Familiar Items
Pack familiar toys, snacks and food. Bring any medication
you need, along with the phone number of your veterinarian.
3. Consider a Kennel
Consider investing in a portable kennel. It can provide
a more secure environment for your dog and cut back
on the amount of barking he or she will do.
4. Do Your Homework
Before you go, identify pet-friendly restaurants and
attractions, dog-walking routes, and public parks near
your pets
friendly hotel. In many cases, you may be able to
call the hotel directly for this information.
5. Bring Some ID
Many hotels will provide a temporary ID tag for your
pet which includes the name and phone number of the
hotel. If this is not the case, consider having temporary
ID tags made with a number at which you can be reached
while you are out of town.
6. Don't Leave Your Pet Unattended
Never leave your pet unattended in the hotel room. Keep
your pet on a leash when outside the room.
7.
Keep a Routine
Maintain your pet's normal sleeping, feeding and walking
schedules as much as possible.
8. Keep It Clean
Always clean up after your pet. Keep in mind that you
may be responsible for any damage to the room done by
your pet.
