Pawrenting: Vacationing with your pet

What you need to know:

  • Just make sure you do not book a room where there is a lot of activities or foot traffic.
  • Most pets will get excited and respond noisily.
  • Be sure you have a clear understanding of the charges before making your reservation.

The holidays may be over, but we have a few people who like travelling during off-peak season. Pet owners travelling with their pets most times need to find accommodation that allows animals. It is tricky finding a place that allows you to have your pet. Even as more and more locations are welcoming pets, the degree of service that you will receive differs. Some will give you exceptional, outstanding service to you and your pet while others will barely tolerate your pet. So have that in mind.

Before travelling, call the place to know if they still allow pets, even if you have been there before, as hotel policies change often.
