It can be heartbreaking to leave your beloved dog behind as you embark on your next adventure. But with an increasing number of travelers wanting to bring their furry friends and more and more accommodations and airlines catering to people with pets, there’s really no reason why man’s best friend can’t join the fun.
With an incredible variety of great places to stay and more than 70 million reviews from real guests, Booking.com shares top tips on what to look for during a pet-friendly stay, along with a selection of top-rated lodging gems specially tailored for animal-loving jets setters and their four-legged friends.
5 things to look for in a pet-friendly stay:
- Make sure staff are known to love, not just handle, pets! Be proud of your dog instead of dodging disapproving looks as you walk down the hall.
- Check out the countryside or nearby parks to make sure your precious pup can run and roam.
- See if spa days are available for your little love so you can both get pampered during your stay.
- Remember that food can make or break a trip for you and your dog. Gourmet pet menus are available at a wide range of stays.
- Many accommodations offer puppy packs. From specialty bowls and name tags to beds and bones, don’t forget to check out the many treats that may be available.
