Dog & Pet-Friendly Places To Stay In Vermont


Vermont is a pet-friendly place, and so are its hotels and inns. At many Vermont dog-friendly lodgings, visitors are offered dog-friendly amenities like dog food, dog beds, and plenty of outdoor green space for daily walks and outdoor games of fetch. Firstly, it allows you to fully enjoy the beautiful outdoors and scenic landscapes that Vermont has to offer, as many of these resorts are in nature-rich settings, perfect for long walks and outdoor adventures with your dog. It also eliminates the need to leave your beloved pet behind, reducing the stress of separation. These resorts often provide specialized amenities such as dog parks, grooming services, and even doggy daycare.



Pet-Friendly Accommodations You Should Look For In Vermont

When searching for a pet-friendly hotel in Vermont, there are several important factors to consider to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for both you and your furry companion:

  • Find out what amenities the hotel offers for pets. Look for features such as designated pet-friendly rooms, dog beds, food and water bowls, and pet-friendly areas within the hotel. Some hotels go the extra mile by providing treats, toys, and even pet-sitting services. Know what amenities the hotel offers if you need to bring your own supplies for your pet. If your dog has special food and medication, make sure you remember to bring that.
  • Consider whether the hotel has outdoor spaces where your pet can exercise and play. Look for nearby parks, trails, or green areas for walks and activities. Access to nature is especially important if you and your pet enjoy the outdoors.
  • Research nearby pet-friendly attractions and activities. Vermont is known for its natural beauty, so look for hiking trails, dog-friendly beaches, and parks in the vicinity. Many of the hotel's concierge services can help you find pet and dog-friendly activities. Vermont offers many great options for dog and pet-friendly activities.
  • Check if the hotel offers additional services like grooming, pet-sitting, or even pet spa treatments. These can enhance your pet's experience and allow you to relax, knowing they are well cared for. Find out if there are pet-friendly dining options at or near the hotel. Being able to enjoy meals together with your pet can be a great convenience.
  • Read past reviews and seek recommendations from other pet owners who have stayed at the hotel. Their experiences can provide valuable insights into the hotel's pet-friendliness. The key to having the best experience is knowing what you will expect, so reading reviews is a great tool to use before booking your next getaway.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select a pet-friendly hotel in Vermont that accommodates your pet's needs and ensures a great stay for you and your family.
