Tips for Finding Pet Friendly Hotels

Pet friendly hotels - If you are relocating overseas with your pet, you would most probably need to search for hotels that allow pets.

Why?

Because many expats need a temporary housing or an extended stay hotel until they find a house to live in. If your hotel does not hold a pet friendly lodging policy, you might have to put your pet in a boarding facility, until you move to your new house.

I am sure many of you won't like this option.

So, when booking your accommodation make sure to check if your hotel allows pets .

However, even if a certain hotel advertises a pets welcome policy, you should still check thoroughly what it means. As some hotels might have pet accommodation restrictions.

Some of the common pet restrictions are:

• Dogs only.
• Maximum number of pets per room (usually 1 or 2).
• Size restrictions, like - "dogs under 50 lbs".
• Pets cannot be left unattended in guest rooms.
• Pets are allowed only in specific rooms.
• Pets are not permitted in common areas such as restaurants, pools, etc.
• Pets must be leashed while on hotel property.
• Some hotels might ask that you put your pet in a kennel if you're leaving them in the room alone.
• Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. So make sure you have plastic bags, litter box, scoop etc' .

Another thing you should be aware off is that most pet friendly accommodations will charge an additional pet fee. This could be a per day charge or per stay charge. Be sure you ask for details so that you aren't surprised when you're presented with the bill.

And most important make sure your pet will fill comfy in his new surrounding, bring with you some toys, water bowls, and enough food.
