The Top 7 Pet-Friendly Budget Hotels
Last week we published “The 7 Best Pet-Friendly Luxury Hotel Chains”. For pet owners on a budget, we’ve researched the best budget hotels that welcome four-legged companions. All of these budget hotels welcome dogs and cats, and a few of them even allow other domesticated pets such as birds, snakes, and (if you can believe it) monkeys!
1. La Quinta Hotels
One of the most pet-friendly and pleasant budget hotel chains is La Quinta. With nearly 900 hotels throughout the U.S. and Canada, only a handful do not allow pets. La Quinta invites up to two domestic animals per room (dogs and cats). A few locations impose pet fees and weight restrictions, so always call in advance to verify details before booking.
2. Best Western
Similar to La Quinta, Best Western encourages pet owners to include their four-legged companions in their next stay. Best Western has more than 1,600 pet-friendly locations across the U.S., Canada and even the Caribbean. Most hotels offer dedicated areas for dog walks and pet elimination. Best Western allows up to 2 dogs per room but prohibits dogs weighing over 80 lbs. In addition to dogs and cats, some Best Western venues welcome other domesticated animals such as birds, rabbits and even monkeys.
Regarding cost, some Best Westerns allow pets for no extra charge. Other locations may charge a maximum of $20 per night for owners with more than one pet. No more than $100 will be charged for an extended stay. A refundable pet deposit of $50 may also be required.

3. Red Roof Inn
Red Roof Inn has over 450 pet-friendly locations scattered throughout the U.S., and not one location charges a pet fee. One pet is permitted per room, and the pet must be declared upon guest registration. Like all other hotel chains, pets must be kept on a leash when outside the hotel room. Similar to other hotel chains, not all Red Roof Inns can accommodate pets due to state and county laws, so always call in advance to confirm that your pet is welcome.

4. Motel 6
Motel 6 is one of the largest motel chains in the U.S with over 1,100 locations. Although rooms are basic and often underwhelming, the chain has one of the most liberal pet policies. Most branches welcome up to 2 pets per room for no extra charge. Only Studio 6 branded hotels charge a $10 per night pet fee (capping at $75 for extended stays). Motel 6’s pet policy emphasizes that hotel management retains the right to refuse a pet if the animal poses a health or safety risk (i.e. excessive aggression).View the Motel 6 pet policy

5. Days Inn
Days Inn hotels are well known for being pet friendly. Each hotel’s policy is different, however, so it is a good idea to call ahead to confirm your pet’s reservation and any associated charges.
6. Travelodge
Many Travelodge locations accept pets, but each hotel may have slightly different pet policies. To make sure your pet is welcome at your location of choice, contact that location directly before booking your reservation.

7. Super 8
Similar to Days Inn and Travelodge, numerous Super 8 motel locations welcome pets. Each location has its own policy, however, so please call in advance before booking your stay. Super 8 rooms are fairly basic, but the motel offers complimentary continental breakfast, high-speed wireless Internet and free coffee.

How to Prepare Your Dog for Airline Cargo Travel
Not all dogs are allowed to fly in the cabin of airlines. Larger dog breeds that do not fit under a plane seat in an enclosed pet travel carrier are required to fly via cargo. Additionally, some countries including the United Kingdom prohibit in-cabin pet travel entirely and require that all dogs regardless of size enter their country via the hold of the plane.
If you are planning to fly your dog via airline cargo travel, there are several steps you can take to ensure your four-legged family member's trip is as safe and seamless as possible.
Here are tips on how to best prepare your dog for a safe cargo flight.
CBD Oil for Dogs: What is CBD, what does it do, and is it safe for dogs?
CBD has quickly become the trendiest new supplement in the pet and canine wellness world. An endless number of companies now offer and promote CBD oils, balms, and gels for a myriad of canine health and wellness issues ranging from travel anxiety to nervousness, nausea, aggression, and even canine epilepsy.
But what exactly is CBD, and what conditions does CBD oil for dogs treat? Is CBD truly safe and beneficial for our four-legged family members? Are there known side effects and risks with ongoing CBD usage? What should we as loving dog owners know about CBD oil before giving it to our dogs?
Although we (Mike and Steph) have never given CBD to our long-haired dachshund Django—fortunately Django is young, in good health, and exceptionally calm—we felt it important to share information about this incredibly popular product that can be found in almost every pet store around the globe.
