Oregon has kept the welcome mat out for travelers and their pets since Lewis and Clark brought their dog for a visit. With a little planning, you and your pet can find a pet friendly hotel in Oregon.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Think about where you'd like to go in Oregon and what you'd like to do. Planning your itinerary ahead allows you to ensure that there is a pet friendly hotel in the area you wish to visit and that the hotel has availability. Waiting until you are at the destination can be problematic if it's a high tourist time.

  2. Step 2

    Search online for a pet friendly hotel in Oregon. Visitors to the coast will want to start with the Oregon Coast 101 website as it lists hotels that accept pets. You can also find information on the official Travel Oregon website.

  3. Step 3

    Read Oregon travel guides and books specifically on traveling with your pet. You can find these guides at bookstores or in local libraries. There are a number of publications that list pet friendly hotels throughout the United States, including Oregon. Another potential source of information are hiking guides, particularly those that discuss hiking with your dog in Oregon, as they will often list hotels and lodging near recommended hiking trails.

  4. Step 4

    Call the local Chamber of Commerce or tourism office for the city or town that you will be visiting. These offices often have information not only on hotels but on dog parks, pet friendly restaurants and other pet related businesses that you may need.

  5. Step 5

    Check with potential hotels or other accommodations to make sure that they still accept pets and that their pet policy is still the same. Some hotels may have deposits, extra fees or breed restrictions so it's always a good idea to check on the specifics at each hotel.

  6. Step 6

    Book your room at the pet friendly hotel in Oregon that best meets your needs in terms of location, price, amenities and pet policy.
