Our pets are such an important part of our lives. We spoil them terribly just like our children. What to do with our pets is often a delima when traveling. Planning ahead is important. If you are having out of town guests that travel with their pets, help them make travel plans by researching pet friendly options in your area.
When looking for lodging, ask about pet friendly policies. Find out if there is a weight or size limit, additional cost or deposits. Where the nearest dog park is located. The Northwest has may hotels that cater to pet owners, even offering doggy spas and nutritional snacks.
You will also want to find some doggy daycare options. I was at a wedding a couple of weeks ago and the brides mom had a hard time between helping her daughter and checking on her beloved pup that was patiently waiting out in the car. It is best to make reservations ahead of time with the facility and find out what records are required. Most facilites will require current shot records, and kennel cough vaccinations. Getting any forms filled out before traveling will make preparations much easier for your guests.
It may seem like extra work, but in the long run it will be worth it for your pet loving guests and the pets will be happier too.
