Travelling With Pets - How to Find Pet Friendly Hotels

As the owner of 2 German Shepherd dogs, I was planning to take a few days get-a-way along California Highway #1. Until I actually started making my plans, I thought I would have a very hard time finding a hotel that would take the two large dogs, but was pleasantly surprised to find there is lots of information to help vacationers, with pets find the right hotel to stay at.

My search found many places where I could stay with my two dogs. I got the name and location of places that accepted pets, phone numbers, the weight of pets they wouldl accept, how many could stay at one time and the cost. The Fees were listed according to the weight of the pet and I was also given, the hotels charges per night for the accommodations and in some instances I was able to make my reservation online.

After reading all they had to offer, as well as recommendations of prior guests, which were posted, on the different hotel sites, I chose the Best Western Cavalier Inn.

This hotel has all non-smoking rooms with either king or two queen beds. The rate varies depending on the location of the rooms. Choices ranged from rooms right on the bluff, with the ocean just 20 feet below, To oceanfront rooms, 100 feet back from the ocean bluff and rooms with a view of the ocean. Many of the rooms come with wood burning fireplaces, soaking tubs, TV's, internet access and sliding glass doors that lead to private patios, from which you will have a front row seat to the spectacular sunsets. Cars are parked right outside the entrance to the rooms downstairs, and for guests upstairs, their parking is convenient to the stairs leading to the top floor.

The beautiful landscaped grounds have panoramic ocean views, are lighted in the evenings with fire pits, that have seats nearby, and which are also lit, to keep off the evening chill that is common along the coast. There is lots of lawn areas and pathways for leashed pets to walk and play on. The hotel even furnishes the doggie scuppers.

Getting to this location, along highway 1, there are many swimming beaches one can stop at, or drive out among the sand dunes, go boating or fishing. If it is the right season, whales cavorting off-shore. A short detour Inland, there are lots of wineries, open for tours, wine tasting or to purchase a bottle of your favorite.

Beaver Creek Pet-Friendly Hotels

The resort of Beaver Creek, Colorado is situated at 8,100 feet above sea level. Humans often have trouble acclimatizing to this altitude, particularly when they live at much lower elevations. According to the International Society of Mountain Medicine in Ridgway, Colorado, dogs can too suffer from the extremely uncomfortable symptoms of acute mountain sickness or AMS.

With cats, it is difficult to tell, but with dogs, the signs are very apparent. These symptoms include: listlessness and/or a change in tongue color. Your dog may also demonstrate unusually lazy behavior and simply not want to do anything but sleep. The tongue actually becomes "mildly dusky" (definition: "characterized by little or inadequate light; shadowy. Rather dark in color") Humans also can present the same unsavory symptoms and other indications such as dizziness, nausea, nosebleeds, swelling on hands and feet and insomnia. AMS can progress and lead to high altitude pulmonary edema or high altitude cerebral edema. These maladies can be unfortunately fatal, but fortunately uncommon.

To combat the effects of AMS on our canine friends, I would suggest that upscale pet-friendly hotels have come up with an "AMS Kit for Dogs". These Kits could include an extra large bowl of water with two shots of Wild Turkey mixed in, a canister of Oxygen, and 100 mg of "doggie downers". The problem might arise: the humans would steal the kits from the dogs!

The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch is the "cats meow" but the folks at the Ritz welcome dogs as well. You and your pets will bathe in luxurious accommodations together; as it should be...in fact they spare no expense to make sure that your canine pal has a memorable experience. The hotel offers pet amenities such as: a V.I.P (very important pooch) handbook and area guide, overstuffed beds and water bowls, all-natural pet food available by room service, Fido's Spa and Fitness by the Bachelor Gulch Spa, daily hikes from the Mountainside Terrace, a pet retail store, and "turndown treats". You and your dog will not want to leave these unbelievably luxurious arrangements!

It is pretty hard to follow the Ritz but the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa in Avon does it nicely. The Westin offers easy access to Beaver Creek Mountain via the Riverfront Express Gondola located right outside the lobby door. The 23,000 square foot spa and fitness center offer mountain-inspired treatments as well as a saltwater lap pool and three Jacuzzi tubs overlooking the river. Guest rooms feature 32 inch flat screen TVs, and wireless Internet access. Your pet will be welcomed as one of the family!

So what do you do with your pet for fun? One of the most prized amenities of the Beaver Creek Resort is the hiking and biking trails. There are literally hundreds of miles of well-maintained trails throughout the area providing guests, human and non-human alike, with the memorable pedestrian/cycling experiences.

When you are traveling with your pet you will need options for pet friendly hotels. The pet friendly hotels are available everywhere at reasonable prices. But when you decide to go to a particular destination you must know about some of the hotels which allow pets. It is because not all of them have the option of keeping pets.

As almost all the places have these hotels so it is not a difficult task to find a spa or a resort for your pet. Nowadays almost all houses have at least one pet and they all take them with themselves therefore the demand for pet friendly hotels has increased. Therefore check before moving that you have a confirmed room or not as you may face problems when you reach there.

While some of the motels provide the facility of accommodating the pets and the owner's together. But they have special rooms for the owners. It is a good option as you will be free from all tensions and also the pet will be near you. You can visit them at regular intervals.

The hotels have a garden so that the pets can relax and free themselves. They can wander about here and there and also help them to become social beings.
