Survey Reveals 63% of Pet Owners will Extend
Hotel Stay when Fido Comes Along
.
Knoxville, TN � September 2 , 2004 � According to a recent 6�month long survey conducted in conjunction with Dog Friendly Directory and BringYourPet.com, 63% of respondents stated that they would extend their hotel stay if they could bring their pet.

Instead of spending the money on expensive boarding or kennel facilities, pet parents now prefer to just take Fido along and use the money saved to extend their vacation.

Longer stays are good for the bottom line. Not only do longer stays mean more reserved rooms, but fewer reservations to process, fewer room cleanings, and a more satisfied clientele. However, because pooches and their owners are traveling together in greater numbers than ever before, pet owners are encouraged to call ahead for availability and reservations�especially around the holidays.

"We, at The Millennium Hotel, welcome all well mannered furry, four legged family members. After registering your furry family member, we will provide a welcome amenity and when needed, items such as potpourri scented pooch bags or litter bags which can be retrieved through Housekeeping or our Concierge desk,� states Lisa Carrere, General Manager of the Millennium Hotels. �Our resident goldens, Dakota and Kylie, always welcome having their friends as guests in our hotel. Rooms are limited and subject to availability, be sure to reserve your room before arriving."
