Are You Frustrated With The Lack Of Pet Friendly Accomodation? Look No Further

Submitted by Jennifer White on October 29, 2009 – 7:57 pmOne Comment

We all love holidays…right? And we love our dogs…right? Why does it seem that mixing the two can be more hassle than what it’s worth? More than three-quarters of travelling pet owners would take Fido on every holiday if they could, although more than half report difficulty finding pet-friendly accommodations, according to a recent survey commissioned by AAA and Best Western International.

The survey also found:
– Thirty-five percent of pet-owning respondents admitted to sneaking
their pet into a hotel or motel in the past.
– Nearly one-third (28 percent) of those who travel with pets indicate
they would rather travel with their pet than with their significant
other.
– The top five frustrations respondents have with others who travel with
pets are those who do not clean up after them (77 percent); those
whose dogs constantly bark (53 percent); those who do not notify
others their dog is aggressive (45 percent); not walking pets on a
leash (42 percent); and owners whose pets are not trained to relieve
themselves outside (30 percent).

– The most popular pet-inclusive vacations are visiting friends/family
(73 percent) and road trips (56 percent).

So when the time comes to book your next holiday – cancel the dog sitter or call up the boarding kennels. Take your dog with you and have the BEST holiday ever.   Visit this website to find Pet Friendly Hotels in your chosen destination www.petfriendlyhotels.com

    You go for a break to relax. It wouldn’t be possible to fully relax if you didn’t know your dog was having a good time. Where possible I always try and take my dog with me.
    Not all places mention if they are dog friendly but I have found upon enquiring they are more than happy for me to bring my dog.
