What Your Hotel May Require
You
need to be aware that more and more accomodations are requiring
proof of the good health of your traveling pet. Even though
they are pet friendly, they still want to protect their property,
their guests and their pets.
If you are traveling with your your pet,
you should always carry a certificate of good health from
your veterinarian. This certificate will state that your pet
is in good health; free from parasites and that it's shot
record is up to date. For domestic travel the date on the
certificate is not impartant as long as the shots have not
expired. For International travel it should not be more than
sixty days, and in some cases 30 days since it was issued.
They may require you to show proof that
your pet is on a regular flea and tick treatment plan such
as Advantage.
Be a Considerate Pet Traveler
Pet Travel is an advocate for all
types of accomadations to accept pets. We are always sorry
when one tells us to remove them from the database because
they no longer will accept travelers with pets. Sometimes
it is just one bad experience that causes this action. Please
follow these common sence rules:
- Keep
your pet leashed when on the premises.
- Dont leave your pet alone in
the room for any length of time that it may start barking,(some
properties do not allow you to leave it alone for even 1
minute).
- If you need to leave your pet
then call a pet sitter to come to your hotel to take care
of your pet in your absence.
- If your pet likes to sit on
the couch with you to watch TV, then put down a towel for
them to lie in.
- Pick up after your pet. Can
you believe that some people will take their pets for a
walk on the hotel grounds and not pick up after them?
