Many sites operated by the major hotel and motel chains in the US are pet friendly – but many are not. When planning a trip with your dog this (northern hemisphere) summer, there’s a site that can help you. It’s called Pets Welcome. This site has a search engine for finding dog friendly accommodation that fits with your trip’s itinerary.
Best of all, the site is not limited to the major chains. Independent operators are also listed. For example, during my recent trip to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, I stayed at the Treasure Trail Motel and they are included in the Pets Welcome directory.
There are lots of properties that are seeing the value in offering dog friendly accommodation. Here’s a brief synopsis of the number of properties amongst the major chains:
