Are you planning to travel with your pets this year? With more hotels and rentals welcoming our fourlegged friends as guests, we've got some expert advice for pet owners before taking the next road trip.

Spring break is upon us, and if you hate leaving your dog or cat behind, more hotels are making it easier for you to bring them along.

Petfriendly lodging was hit or miss a decade ago, but the industry has changed its strategy.

One reason? It makes perfect business sense. It generates additional revenue and is an additional amenity that increases search demand.

Today there is a long list of hotels, from major chains to boutique inns welcoming pets. And more are coming on board each year.

Chains include, but are not limited to, La Quinta, Motel 6, Red Roof Inn, Candlewood Suites and recently some of the Hilton Brands have joined the party, too.

One hotel chain that consistently ranks as a favorite among globetrotting pet owners is Kimpton. It helps that when founder Bill Kimpton created the hotel chain in 1981 he was known for bringing his dog, Chianti, to work with him.
