up your fellow hotel guests.
But never fear, Dr. Stanley
Coren, author of "How
Dogs Think", has some
expert advice on how to curb
your pet's vocalizations!

PCS Travel Services - Travel
Tails
 "Dear
Pets Can Stay Travel Services,
Thanks so much for arranging our
accommodations. The Sidney
Waterfront Inn & Suites was
beautiful. We were able to get a
room facing the ocean. We loved
the sunset!
We took the dogs on the Piraeus,
a 44' wooden ketch for a 3 hour
cruise. The dogs were equipped
with lifejackets - my friend
says they look embarrassed to
have them on, but I think they
look smart. I think it is money
well spent. By the time 2 hours
rolled around, the Captain
deemed them good sailor dogs.
They were absolutely exhausted
after the cruise, as you can
see.
We had a lovely time. You took
away our worry about getting a
place to stay with our babies.
Thanks again!"
W.S - Calgary, AB
Attention Pet Sitters, Dog Walkers, Vets, Pet Stores, Bakeries...
Be sure to list your business in
our Pet Services Directory, to inform
accommodation providers and
travellers about what services
you have to offer...

Pets Can Stay:
Assisting the traveller. Serving the industry.™
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.

The
Benefits of Pet Health Insurance
Pet health insurance allows you peace of mind and the
ability to provide your pet with appropriate medical
attention for unexpected situations by sharing in the cost
of your veterinary fees. It helps ensure that your pets will
receive the medical attention they require by controlling
and budgeting the cost of keeping your pet healthy.
With one in three pets requiring medical attention every
year and the cost of veterinary care rising, pet health
insurance just makes sense.
Most policies cover veterinary fees for the diagnosis and
treatment of any accident, injury, or illness. The
difference in cost from one plan to another is largely based
upon the amount of accident and illness coverage the plan
provides for your pet. Some plans will only cover select
accidents, while others may cover your pet for any type of
accident or illness.
Petplan would be happy to answer any questions you may have
about pet health insurance. Visit their website at
www.petplan.com or call
1.800.268.1169 to speak to a professional insurance
representative.
