Located in the United States, Mexico, several nations in Europe and Asia, pet friendly hotels can be found just about anywhere you would like to travel. Using the site PetTravel.com, it is easy to track down many types of hotels and even some restaurants where the family pet will be welcome.

Many pet friendly hotels offer excellent amenities for both dogs and cats. From food and water bowls to personalized identification tags and bandannas, these are just a few of the things you can expect when traveling with your pet. Exercise areas are frequently provided. Some of the more upscale hotels, including the Wyndham in Telluride Colorado, Nine Zero in Boston Massachusetts, and Las Ventanas in Mexico even offer pet message and room-service menus catering to every pet’s needs. Many of the top rated pet friendly hotels are seeking to pamper their pet guests in a variety of ways which include spa services, dog beds, monogrammed dog blankets, dog friendly mini-bars, and dog walks in the park.

Rates vary for pets, whereas some pet friendly hotels may charge a per night fee, others may charge an initial deposit, and some hotels do not charge any extra. Most hotels do require advanced notice that a pet will be staying with the guest in order to prepare the room before arrival. Some pet friendly hotels have weight requirements for dogs and also may require the pet to be crated when in the hotel room for safety during housekeeping.

It does not matter where you would like to vacation or travel for business, you can be sure that your pet will be well cared for when staying at one of the many pet friendly hotels available worldwide.
