Travelling with pets has moved beyond a trend into a way of life for millions of North Americans. As the pet industry continues to demonstrate strong growth, and pet care product sales reach new highs, it comes as no surprise that many pet owners would prefer to bring their favourite companions with them on their trips.

Pets Can Stay is the national certification body for lodging establishments that accept pets, and we effectively bridge the gap between accommodation providers and pet-toting travellers in an effort to promote travelling with pets across North America. Pets Can Stay works closely with accommodation providers to develop and market their pet guest programs while providing full travel service booking and assistance to travellers with pets. For more information on the Pets Can Stay program, and how a property can become certified, please visit www.petscanstay.com/certification/home.php.
