Raising a giant pet might require quite an effort at home, let alone while traveling and staying in a hotel. Most hotels prefer regular size breeds as against welcoming a giant immaterial how gentle they behave. However, some hotels don’t mind the size and all they require is a phone call and they are ready to accommodate, however, the more one understands the situations that can arise, the better the travel remains.

How different are the aspects of hotels for larger breeds?
While most hotels can accommodate pets with ‘pet-friendly rooms’, larger breeds command a larger space to move around and rest for a nap. Specifications of the rooms available and their sizes are therefore needed to be the major part of the discussion before booking the room.

Tips to master the travel

The needs are bigger
Bigger rooms, bigger appetite, bigger potty, and bigger enthusiasm can be quite big for some hotels to adjust. Ensure the facilities available in the hotels are questioned in detail before choosing the hotel as the result might be a bigger bill.

Crates might not work out
Few of the hotels provide crates to accommodate the pets of the customer, however, a larger breed like the Great Dane, doesn’t necessarily fit into a crate. It is important to find a place within the room, away from all the properties of the hotels and ensuring the pet doesn’t reach them is a must.

Availing help adequately from the room service
A larger breed tends to rest in one place for the most part and might have a habit to salivate a lot and can also leave a huge trail of his fur for remembrance of his legacy on the visit. It is better to avail room service and maintenance guys to clean the area frequently.

Opting for a serviced apartment
Any point in time, living in a place that is close to resembling a house is better than living in compartmentalized blocks of room. This allows the pet to be himself, away from the hassles of using an elevator or knocking off a table when around the corridors.

Ensuring the hotel understand the dog’s cuisine
Large breeds of pets are quite different from the others, the nutrients required by them are to be planned to promote joint and bone health. While this can be taken care of at home, the same cannot be said about a hotel. In all probability, the pets are fed with what is readily available at the hotel or the pet food carried along from home.

Checking the cuisine available at the hotel and finding the types of food that can be customized to the needs of the pet would be helpful to maintain the health of the loved one.

Being wary of other customers and staff
While most of the people visiting the hotel might enjoy seeing a giant pet being walked across, some might be feeling dramatic about it. There can be pet enthusiasts who out of their enthusiasm might just want to feel the pet, only to be reminded, it is not to be disturbed. Hence one must be aware of the crowd and its presence while accompanying the pet for a walk.

On the other hand, hotel staff walking into the room can be helped with a gentle reminder at the entrance regarding the big fellow.
