I’m going on vacation and want to bring my pet. How can I find a hotel that allows me to do so?

According to a recent survey by the travel industry, seventy percent of pet owners want to take their furry friends with them when they go on vacation. Fortunately there are now twenty-thousand pet-friendly motels and hotels nationwide. Some chains even allow pets in all of their locations.

Numerous web sites list lodgings that welcome your feline and canine traveling companions. Many sites allow you to make reservations online, and some also offer reviews and advice from fellow travelers. Check out “petswelcome.com,” “petfriendly.com,” “bringyourpet.com,” “takeyourpet.com,” and “travelpets.com.” Or just search the internet for “pet-friendly hotels.”
