Do you love your pet so much that you can’t leave it behind when you travel? You are in luck because there are so many motels that allow pets. If this is your first time traveling with your pet, here’s what you should expect:
Where the dog stays
Pet friendly motels have small cages where your pet will stay. If your dog is crate trained, he will find it very comfortable living in the motel; However, if he is not, he may be restless and find it difficult to get used to the new place. Before booking a motel, you should take a tour of the facility and make sure it is clean, odorless, and well-organised.
If you do not want your pet to be kept in a small crate, you should find a facility that offers luxury accommodation. This facility usually has a small room with dog beds and toys that give the dog the impression that he is still at home. If your dog has arthritis, you must make sure the room is large enough for him to run around in.
Take a walk for the dog
Most motels allow you to walk the dog twice a day for just a few minutes each time. Before you book a hotel, make sure you understand how often you are allowed to walk the dog. If you want your dog to get more exercise, you should ask if there is a fenced area where your dog can roam around for a bit.
Eating food
While many pet-friendly motels will cook pet foods, the food may not be your pet’s usual food. Since a change in diet can lead to fatigue with diarrhea and vomiting, it is wise to carry your own food.
It should be noted that many pets do not eat well when boarding; Therefore, you should always carry healthy food that will make the lodge food more palatable. To protect your dog, always let the boarding facility know what food your pet can and cannot eat.
When the pet gets sick
It is common for pets to get sick. The great thing is that many good hotels regularly monitor them to make sure they are okay. You should note that it is your responsibility to take care of the vet bills should your pet become ill.
Conclusion
This is what you should expect when visiting a pet friendly hotel. For a great experience, always do thorough research and settle for the best hotel in the area.
