Pet Friendly Hotels



Article Title: Pet Friendly Hotels
Author: Mark Hammond

It was not too long ago that it was nearly impossible to travel
with your pet. No matter what type of pet it was, cat, dog, or
another type of pet, they were absolutely not tolerated in
hotels, at least not the upscale, more trendy hotels. If you
were traveling with your pet, it meant that you generally only
had the choice of low budget, less trendy hotels. Things are
definitely changing for the better.

Hotel chains are beginning to realize that for most pet owners,
their pets are a big part of their family. This means that it is
very rare for a pet owner to travel without heir pet. Take a
look around you, at celebrities, and other people. You will see
that more often than not, their pets go with them everywhere
they go, this includes on vacation.

Hotels are seeing this and stepping up to the tasks. Many hotel
chains now not only accept pets, but also have several amenities
geared directly towards pets. For instance, if you are out and
about at meetings or functions, the hotel may have someone to
watch your pet for you until you return.

For busy people, the hotel may also provide a service for
walking your pet or taking them for exercises. If that was not
enough several of the more trendy and upscale hotel chains
offer even more for your pet. For example, you may find the
hotel offers a pet spa, in which your pet can enjoy pampering
and relaxation during their vacation as well. Your pet can
enjoy all the same amenities that you do in some of the more
popular hotel chains.

Can you imagine the time has finally come when pets are
considered a very important member of the family? Your pet may
have their own bed; turn down service, or even their very own
robe. The hotel may even provide water and food dishes for your
pet or even an ID tag that lists the contact information of the
hotel you are staying at, in case your pet were to become lost.

Gone are the days of having to choose only seedy or low budget
hotels, just because you are traveling with your beloved pet.
Today, pets are welcomed at most hotels across the world.
