You and your dogs have lodging options with pet friendly motel chains
February 3rd, 2009 by pet vacations   Subscribe To Our FeedOwners of pets who are going on a vacation have a few options for what to do with their pets while they are traveling. Two of the common options are taking the dog or cat with them on the trip and staying in pet friendly hotels or using a pet boarding service, either close to their home or a location near the hotel where they stay. The size and type of pet that you have might make one or the other of these options more applicable.
Pets that do not travel well might be best left in a boarding location or with a pet sitter. Occasionally, bigger pets are not always welcome even in many dog friendly hotels, since they sometimes have weight limits for the pets that are allowed to stay with them. Therefore, if you make the decision to travel with these pets, you will have to do a bit more searching to find an appropriate hotel. Thankfully, a few of the websites that list hotels that are willing to allow pets allow you to filter just those hotels that accept large pets. Finding pet boarding close to your motel is another option, since you could still be able to spend time with your dog even if it can’t stay with you.
The following is a list of some major hotel chains which claim to be pet friendly:
Clarion Inn & Suites
Comfort Inn & Suites
Courtyard by Marriott
Fairfield Inn by Marriott
Kimpton
Marriott Hotels & Resorts
Quality Inn
Red Roof Inn
Renaissance Hotels & Suites
Sleep Inn
Studio 6
{In case you’ve had no luck finding pet friendly accommodations for you and your pet}, but feel bad about boarding your dog, there are now a lot of locations with special pet hotels that go to great lengths to spoil your pets while they are there. Perhaps this is a good “in between” choice for you. Your pet might enjoy the many services these places offer, and you don’t need to feel bad that you couldn’t have your dog with you for your trip.
If you are undecided on which option to choose, there are a lot of different resources on the internet you can use to find the best options for dog friendly lodging, pet motels, and boarding services. Occasionally, even when there is a hotel that will take your pet, it is better to leave them behind with a blanket and some organic pet treats due to travel stresses. An international trip could be very difficult on your dog, for example, and there are a lot of immigration rules to consider. PetTravel.com is a one place to find answers to questions on these issues. Sometimes, it is required that dogs be quarantined for a while, so a short trip overseas might be best left for only the family.

Websites For Finding Pet Friendly Bed And Breakfasts In Texas
October 29th, 2008 by pet vacations   Subscribe To Our FeedEverything might be bigger in Texas, but does that also apply to a bed an breakfast that allows pets? In trying to find the best pet friendly bed and breakfasts in Texas for you and your pet, you might feel overloaded by information. There are pet travel guides in libraries, articles in travel magazines and more websites than there are hairs shed by the average cat in a week. How can you zero in on what information you need? Just go to these websites, but you still always have to contact the pet friendly bed and breakfast in Texas yourself.
Virtual Cities
This website is very well organized with large print and a surprising lack of adds to obscure the text. It basically consists of lists of links, but lists separated into very specific categories, such as pet friendly bed and breakfasts in Texas. There are also sections on the website for air travel, for car rentals, for finding lodgings where certain languages are spoken and even recipes from inns, hotels and guest lodgings.
Petswelcome.com
While Virtual Cities is geared for all kinds of traveler’s needs with some sections devoted to traveling with pets, Petswelcome.com is entirely devoted to traveling with pets. There also is important information on emergency travel with your pet, on airline regulations about traveling with pets and a listing of pet sitters if your pets are the stay-at-home type.
And they have one of the largest listings of pet friendly places to stay on the web, including popular hotel chains. There is also a helpful forum where people give unbiased opinions about traveling with pets. That’s a great place to ask for recommendations for pet friendly bed and breakfasts in Texas.
dogFreindly.com
Besides dogs, most pets do not like changes such as travel. For example, many rodents can get ill from the stress or temperature changes associated with travel. But dogs generally love travel. This is why many pet friendly bed and breakfasts in Texas are geared towards dog owners. DogFreindly.com is the place to go for not only a listing of lodgings in a state, but in a particular city.
Most importantly, they offer “travel guides” for dogs and their people staying in certain locations. This not only lists where to stay, but where dog parks are, what restaurants and cafes allow dogs and a list of pet stores. You do have to sort through some adds to get to the information, though.
The New Forest National Park – Hunting Forest To The Kings
October 27th, 2008 by pet vacations   Subscribe To Our FeedIf you every come to the South Of England on a vacation then you simply must not miss a trip to the New Forest , the newest national park in the UK and One of the Worlds Heritage national park sites.
The idea for national parks first started in the United States and one of the first world national parks was Yosemite of course.
Since that time many other countries have adopted this way of protecting and preserving the un-spoilt habitats of the world for future generations and for the preservation of endangered species as well.
The New Forest has a few endangered species itself but nothing like the American bald eagle that is now increasing in numbers due thankfully. The most well know animals in the Forest are the deer which were once hunted here and the delightful New Forest pony.
Centuries and centuries ago the New Forest was to all intents and purposes open land but then one of the kings on of the day decided to make it a royal forest only to be used for the royal pursuit of hunting, and local folk who had lived off the land for centuries found themselves unable to hunt the land for food to feed their family, penalties for contravening the law were severe and in later time fatal.
Fortunately over time sanity prevailed and today you will find many animals wandering the forest grazing as the local “commoners” exercise their right to graze their live stock on the common ground.
The New Forest has in the places that have survived deforestation due to the needs of the early ship builders and raw material requirements from the 2nd world war, some of the oldest forest in England. One mighty oak is reported to be around 400 years old.
The natural beauty of the forest is the reason many people come here but if you like a more strenuous break then there are plenty of other activities to choose from, which include kayaking , pony trekking on and off road cycling and of course the delightful forest walks to name but a few.
If you are having a family holiday the Park has a number of really olde worlde family friendly New Forest Cottages you can rent and if you have a penchant for the quaint then you will just love the old thatched roofs and if your lucky gardens that literally take you out into the forest from your back door.
If you prefer the outdoor lifestyle then the forest has a number of designated campsites with and without facilities so you can enjoy New Forest camping holidays the easy way or the hard way , the choice is up to you.
One of the most popular areas of the New Forest has to be the picturesque Village of Beaulieu which is actually part of a massive 7000 acre estate (by UK standards) estate belonging to the Montagu family who’s ancestors have owned the land and property since the early 1500 after the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII.
Part of the estate is used for the National Motor Museum which must rank as one of the best museums of automotive history in the world with exhibits that span motoring history not only by age but also by achievement as a number of land speed record breakers are exhibited here.
There is also the Abbey to visit which whilst not to much to see these days still gives you an idea of the grandeur and power of the church in early British history.
The now Beaulieu Palace house itself was originally the gatehouse to the abbey here although it has been subsequently extended.
A visit here shouldn’t be restricted to the forest alone as only a short drive down the coast you can find some of the cleanest beaches in the UK some of which have achieved blue flag status. They are even building the northern hemisphere’s first artificial ref here as well for the local surfing community so if you like to surf you can try it out UK style.
Poole in the County of Dorset is not only famous for having one of the worlds largest harbours, but also for the number of famous people who live here, and one particular area has the most expensive house prices in the whole of England, still. That’s the price you pay to live along side people with celebrity status.
All said and done England’s south coast is an ideal holiday destination
