As more people choose to take pets along on family holidays, the need to find accommodation that is pet friendly is increasing. Here are some ways to locate information about holiday rental properties that welcome pets.
Pet Friendly Property Features
One of the most popular means of finding pet friendly resorts and accommodations is to conduct searches on the Internet. This will allow you to look at the specific types of amenities offered by each pet friendly accommodation, and determine if they would be a good fit for both your family and your pet.
Check the property has pet friendly features:
1. Wooden floors are easy to keep clean
2. Fenced areas (particularly for outdoor pets especially dogs)
3. Bath for washing your pet
4. Space from nearby properties to avoid your pet disrupting neighbours
Local Amenities for Pets
Check the local amenities for pets. Some examples of amenities to look for include, walking parks, pet sitting services, pet grooming salons in or near the accommodation, and veterinarians who are available in the event of an emergency. In many cases, these sorts of amenities will be highlighted on business web sites, so finding options for long term stays that welcome pets is somewhat easy.
Other information for holidaying with Pets
Another option is to contact hospitality associations within the city or town that you plan on visiting for your holiday. This may involve local business associations, or the local municipal government. Often, these resources can offer contact information on rental accommodations that welcome household pets and also have reasonable rates. If you are in doubt its best to email and obtain exact information about what is available or required when taking pet friendly accommodation. This approach also allows you to begin the process of building rapport with the property manager before you ever arrive for your holiday.
Bond or Additional Costs
Be prepared to pay a 'doggy bond' as most property managers will require bonds in pet friendly accommodation to protect against damage. Additional costs for de-odourising might also be imposed to remove smells and fleas, so the property is clean for the next visitor.
There are a large range of pet friendly properties and you'll have a lot more fun when you take your beloved pet away on holidays. Enjoy your vacation, woof!
