For pet parents, when we start planning our next vacation one of the biggest decisions is whether or not to bring your pet. And if you are the type that definitely wants your dog to tag along for vacation, then you’ll definitely need to know how to pick a pet friendly cabin or rental property. Here are a few tips on how to find the best destination for your entire family for your vacation .
First, read the reviews of the area, the season as well as the properties you are considering.
You want to make sure that you pick a destination that works well for pets. Consider outdoor activities, climates and things that you know your pet will enjoy. Read a lot of the reviews of the places that you are considering. You can get a good feeling about exactly how pet friendly a place is by their reviews.
Also, your rental location should give you access to a variety of fun places that will be great for your dog too. If they hate the beach, pick a cabin near hiking trails. If your dog is more of an urban dog, find somewhere with window shopping and dog friendly patio restaurants. Maybe your dog isn’t very social, a place that is more low-key would be better than a crowded tourist spot.
Next, be honest about your intentions and pet
Some places state that dogs cannot be left unattended in rooms for more than short periods of time. If you’re planning any days where your dog will be left alone in the rental, then make sure it is okay with the host. Also, do not lie about your dog’s size. Don’t say you’re bringing a Miniature Schnauzer and then show up with a large Boxer. If you know all the rules and regulations beforehand, then you can make sure there are no misunderstandings about what is expected.
Finally, take in account deposits for a vacation with pets.
A lot of times pet friendly places require a higher deposit than usual. And some of these deposits have a lot more stipulations than others. Make sure you understand exactly what is they expect and what will be returned if there are no messes or mishaps during your stay.
When there is a will, there’s a way. No matter what temperament or size your dog is, you can easily find the right accommodations for you all. After all, our dogs are our best friends and part of the family which means they usually want to be included on our vacations too.
