Helpful Dog Friendly Accommodations

If you travel with your pet very often, there are some useful tips to adhere to when going to a friend's or relative's home. You do not want your pet to be seen as a nuisance and not be invited back again. Most people are happy to provide dog friendly accommodations if you take the time to demonstrate proper manners and etiquette. Some helpful tips follow.

• Always pick-up dog waste with a plastic bag and place in the trash.
• Try to keep your dogs out of flowers or shrubbery that can be trampled.
• Always ask if it is all right to socialize your pet with another animal.
• Never socialize a sick animal.
• Be considerate of others you are staying with by having a housebroken dog and make sure nothing is soiled, damaged or covered in fur.
• Practice good etiquette when eating at home or outdoor restaurants and do not let your dog beg, bark or annoy others.
• Bring an extra sheet to prevent soiling and shedding on the bed or sofa and feed the animal in the bathroom to avoid messy spills.

If you practice good manners, you will find more and more dog friendly places to take your animal companion. People are more likely to appreciate a well-behaved animal than one that chews or barks incessantly, whether staying with friends or relatives or staying at one of the many dog friendly hotel chains.
