All the bags are packed ..again ~ Xativa here we come by Hamish ~ the Westie

When Hamish the Westie felt like traveling, he hopped in a car along with his owners and headed for France and Spain - at least this is the impression you get after reading one of my favorite blogs, “A dog’s travels to France & Spain & Switzerland”. The blog is written from the dog’s point of view, and includes some great tips as well, including pet friendly hotels found along the way. Wondering where you can find pet friendly accommodations in the United States? Here’s a look at some popular hotels that will make your pet feel pampered:

San Francisco
The Westin St. Francis - allows pets under 30 lbs
W Hotel - they offer dog walking and grooming services. A daily charge of $25 as well as a one time $100 fee per stay is required.

Thank you for the links. I’m glad it’s becoming more and more common to see hotels that allow dogs, even in the less, ah, hip coastal cities.

My vizsla, Goblin, and I stayed at a Best Western in Boise this summer and had a good experience. It’s so cute, though, how they tell you dogs should stay off the furniture. As if. They must not know vizslas insist on sharing the bed with their owners. :)

Hey, it’s not like they weren’t going to wash those blankets anyway.
