Vacationing is a great way to create memories with the whole family, but when you have to leave your pets at home, your concern for them can take your focus away from having fun. Booking rooms at pet-friendly hotels will let you enjoy your vacation with the entire family—Fido included. At Quality Inn in New Columbia, PA, you’ll find great pet-friendly rooms and comfortable amenities for everyone.

Before you book a room, there are a few things you should know:

• Call Ahead: Road trips may lead to some surprise stops, but if you’re traveling with a pet, you should always call the hotel ahead of time. Try to have several pet-friendly hotels along your route, so you’ll always have a comfortable place to stop.
• Make Sure Your Pet’s Info Is Up to Date: The last thing any pet owner wants is to lose their pet on vacation. Just in case your pet does get separated from the family, it’s always best to make sure their vaccinations, tags, and information are up to date so a shelter can reach you if your pet is found wandering around the town.
• Request a Ground Floor Room: Pet-friendly hotels do not typically have courtyards or attached patios where pets can romp around. Rather than booking a room on the top floor, request a ground floor room. This will shorten the distance you have to walk to take your pup out before bed.
• Bring Touches of Home: When pets travel, it’s not unusual for them to get nervous. Rather than just bringing the basics like food, bowls, and a crate, bring a few of their favorite toys. If they have a blanket they love to snuggle with, pack it with the rest of their items. Having a few things that smell like home will go a long way towards reducing their anxiety levels.
