Find pet-friendly hotels along your travel route

Traveling with your dog, cat or other pet is an enjoyable and bonding experience … as long as you take the time to properly plan your trip. An important part of traveling with your pet is staying in pet-friendly hotels and accommodations. People who travel long distances with their pets look for pet-friendly accommodation to stay along their travel route. Finding pet-friendly hotels along your route should be part of your pre-trip planning so that you and your pet don’t get caught sleeping in the car.

What you want to avoid:

He travels on the highway, 7 hours after his road trip. His eyes are slightly cloudy, his driving leg is cramping, and his tail bone is screaming. You’re ready to pack for the night and check into a hotel by the highway. You get off at the nearest exit and stop at the closest hotel you can find; sorry, pets are not allowed. Back in the car, to the next hotel, sorry, your pet is too big. Back in the car, to the next hotel. You’re stressed, you’re exhausted … this is the last thing you need … go to the hotel with your pet.

How to avoid it:

Mapping a map of pet-friendly hotels and accommodations along the way is not as difficult as it sounds. There are pet-friendly online travel resources that have route search capabilities. This nifty little tool lets you enter your departure location as well as your destination location.

Determine how many miles you would like to drive each day. Then check the map to find the hotel that best suits you and your pet. This will ensure that when you are ready to rest for the night, you have a place to stay where your pet is welcome. If you’re the type who likes to fly … then you can still use this handy search-by-route feature.
