Four-legged travel companions

You don't need to hide your family pet in the car and sneak it into a motel room for the night...
I experienced it all: rightout refusals to allow dogs on the premises, 50% higher room prices or tiny cages that might fit a small poodle but not a German Shepherd.

Until I found several websites that provide information on Hotels, Bed & Breakfast, Daycare & Vets, Travel Tips, Fun Places and more

Travel tips for you and your pet

• Call ahead to reconfirm the hotel is pet friendly.
• Try to get a ground floor room so your dog can get outside quickly.
• Bring it's bed or blankets from home to sleep on - and also it's favoured toys.
• Don't leave your dog alone in the hotel room.
• Check with the Vet before travelling.
• Keep your dog always on a leash in public areas.
• Pet your dog often to reasure it! Being in an unfamiliar area and out of his usual routine can be stressful for pets.

Thumbs up! Dog-friendly Toronto
