Knoxville, TN � August 11, 2004 � In response
to an ever-increasing trend in pet-friendly travel, the travel industry
has moved towards not only accepting pets, but catering to them. However,
one rather large group has been left out � the big dogs. Recently launched,
Dog Friendly Directory (www.DogFriendlyDirectory.com)
is helping frustrated big-dog owners find quality lodging that will be
happy to make room for their dogs of stature.
�Although certainly not a petite dog, Buddy travels well and loves to get out of the house and on the road,� states Buddy�s owner, Patrick Kinsell. �He�s a 7-year old Bouvier and sleeps all day; he�s better trained than our kids! Unfortunately, even when we find a pet-friendly hotel, they usually only accept small dogs.� Although they may not be perfectly suited to meandering through a china shop, most big dogs are calm, well-mannered pets that treat their travel destinations like a second home. �We�ve been accepting large dogs for years and we�ve never had any problems with any of our four-legged guests,� states Judi Schenck, owner of the Jewel of the Smokies cabin in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. �Most of our guests have had a difficult time finding a vacation destination that will accept large dogs, and they are grateful to have finally found us.� With each listing on Dog Friendly Directory.com there are clear icons denoting whether or not the property will accept dogs over forty pounds. A big-dog area of the Web site that will cater to the needs and concerns of this not-so-small group is currently in the works and will be launched shortly.
