Final Thoughts
Nowadays, many hotels and resorts allow pets. However, some allow only dogs, while others allow both dogs and cats. Before booking a room at any location, ensure all vaccines are up to date, as many hotels make this a rule. Keep in mind that most Disney Resorts allow pets, as well as most Hilton and Marriott properties nationwide.
Wherever your travels take you, always check if the property you plan to stay at is pet friendly. We hope our list helps make travel arrangements with your beloved pet easy and stress-free in Florida, and we wish you a fun vacation with your fur baby!
