In addition to preventative pet care, we also care about preventative planning. When booking pet-friendly hotels in the bay area and beyond, always make sure to call ahead and let the hotels know that you’re bringing your dog; this can really make a difference for a smoother check-in, and it will also allow some of the more pet-friendly places a chance to prepare some treats for your dog.

Here are a few things to consider when researching pet-friendly hotels in the bay area and beyond:

• Are there any parks or other areas nearby for walking the dog?

• Do the hotels offer any amenities for pets, such as beds, food bowls, doggy bags, dog-walking, etc?

• Are there any areas of the hotel where dogs are off-limits?

• Are there certain rooms that are specifically designated for guests with pets?

If you still need help finding the perfect place; check out these pet-friendly hotels in the Bay Area.
