CALIFORNIA HOTEL BECOMES FIRST US ADDITION TO PETS CAN STAY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
San Diego, CA, July 28, 2005 - Pets Can Stay announced earlier today the first US addition to its certification program for accommodation providers that welcome pet guests - the Ocean Villa Inn in San Diego, California. Known as one of San Diego's most "pet-friendly" lodging establishments, the Ocean Villa offers guests scenic views, poolside sunbathing, and a convenient location next door to a dog beach.

Having amassed well over 200 certified accommodation providers across Canada, Pets Can Stay recently expanded its certification program into the United States in an effort to service establishments and travellers across North America. "Many travelers who have used our service have encouraged us to offer our services to US establishments" adds Carla Stewart, Pets Can Stay's General Manager. "With such a large pet travel market in the United States, this is certainly a natural step for us. We're very excited about having the Ocean Villa Inn come onboard, and we look forward to the opportunity of working with many more accommodation providers across the country".
