One of the hardest things to do when you’re away from home is to figure out who is going to care for your pet. Leaving your cat or dog with family or friends or boarding them with strangers may not be feasible options.

However, there’s no reason to leave Fido or Lucy behind when you stay at recommended Medicine Hat pet friendly hotels.

You’ll never be lonely and your best friend will be happier knowing that you’re just an arm’s reach away when he or she is ready to go for a walk.

That’s why it’s important to find pet friendly Medicine Hat hotels such as the Comfort Inn and Suites that welcome pets like the rest of your family members.

As an added perk, the Comfort Inn and Suites Medicine Hat offers all pet owners a goodie bag with treats, waste bags and a guide to local pet-friendly parks when you register your dog or cat.
