- Make a lodging reservation, communicating your needs regarding your pet. This way, there are no surprises when you arrive
- Select a room that is appropriate for the pet, just as you would for family members with special needs
- Check the room before letting your pet run free to make sure there are no hazards or tempting chew objects
- Avoid stressing your pets - make them feel comfortable and remember to bring their favorite toys and treats while on vacation!
- Local ordinances require pets to be leashed when outside, so make sure your pet is on the leash at all times when out of the room and before opening the door to avoid escape attempts
- Bring your pet to one of our many dog parks so they can socialize with other canines on vacation!
With a little planning, you and your pet will have a worry-free family vacation.
