Thinking about traveling with my dog, never have done so. Then I thought of the potential risk of my dog getting fleas or ticks in a hotel if it's designated for dogs to stay in. My dog does not go to dog parks, kennels, or other high risk areas, so this thought does concern me. I don't want to come home with my dog bringing fleas or dog ticks (which can breed indoors). If you go to hotels with your pets, what has been your experience? The hotel is a Best Western chain that has a great reputation, no bed bug complaints against them either.
One of my three dogs goes to a groomer every month and occasional doggy daycare. I have him on the monthly oral flea preventative and have never had any issues.
If you are concerned about fleas you could use the preventative.
We have been living in a nice pet friendly hotel for almost 2 months now due to a house fire. Our dogs never had fleas until we came here. I do have them on a preventative and that is keeping them off of them. I was 2 days late putting the med on them and I found a couple fleas.
