If you are anything like me, you hate to leave your dog in the kennels. OK, sometimes you have to because of little inconveniences like business trips, but generally I certainly try to take my dog with me wherever I go – even to the continent as he has a passport! A day without him is too much, let alone a week or even two! And remember, to him it is 7 times that (or did I read somewhere that the dog:human life ratio is now thought to be 1:9?). So that is a really long time to be away from you: 1 day = 1 week of his life. Thankfully, I can occasionally rely on friends and family, but not always.
I am therefore always on the lookout for all things dog-friendly. I makes notes on my travels, such as pubs that not only allow dogs, but also provide a water bowl! Shops that have a tie-up outside and parks with “dog-only” areas. The more places I find that are dog-friendly, the more likely I am to visit again accompanied of course by him. If my dog is welcome, then I will be a regular customer. If that is not the case, then I may never return!
During the summer in the UK there was considerable media promotion of the “staycation” – UK based holidays from camping and caravans to luxury country retreats and cosmopolitan city hotels. But what about pets? Where are the dog-friendly campsites and the dog-friendly hotels?
Surprisingly, or not, as the case may be, more establishments are accommodating pets in order to get their share of that particular market. I am not the only one who takes my dog wherever I can and if an hotel or B&B is not dog-friendly, then they will lose business.
A little book I discovered many years ago is: Pets Welcome! 
it covers dog-friendly farm holidays, Bed and Breakfasts, caravans and camping, dog-friendly pubs, and a golf guide – where to play and stay! With over 1,000 entries, it is great value for money at only GBP 6.99 with free UK delivery.
Pets Come Too! Guide to Quality-assessed Pet-friendly Hotels, B&Bs and Self-catering Accommodation in England (Official Tourist Board Guide) This is a VisitBritain guide; the official national guide to quality-assessed properties in England that welcome pets. At GBP 6.57 it is a snippet!
There is a very useful website for pet owners, called “Maps4Pets” and it not only covers the UK, but also Canada, the USA, and Europe. It features pet-friendly places for all budgets and tastes.
For instance, the 5 star Milestone Hotel, near Kensington Palace, provides a welcome hamper for your dog, custom-made bed, water bowl and “Do Not Disturb/Pet Sleeping” door notice. Grooming is available as well as bathrobes, leashes, litter boxes, and a taxi service. Treats, toys and menus for dogs and cats are also available and staff will even arrange birthday celebrations.
If you are travelling in the USA or Canada with your pet and are looking for dog-friendly accommodation and places to stay and visit, then this publication will help.
