Take Your Pet Along With Timeshares
Your pet is your best friend. He's also a member of your family. You take him along to the beach. She's your favorite hiking companion. It's no wonder then that you'd want to include Fido on your family vacation.
As the desire to include furry-friends in family vacations continues to increase, many timeshares are offering pet-friendly accommodations. Timeshares are great for families with pets because they afford annual or biennial vacations at the same resort year after year. Pets, especially dogs, feel most comfortable with consistency. You'll find pet-friendly timeshares all over the world. As you and your pooch explore the area year after year, your timeshare will feel less like a strange new place and more like home.
Some Considerations When Traveling With Your Pet
Resorts that specialize in catering to you and your pet understand the issues that you might face while traveling with Fido and aim to make the experience as seamless as possible. Of course, the timeshare resort can only predict so much, which is why it's important for you as a pet-owner to conduct research based on your pet's personality and lifestyle. If you have an active dog, for example, you'll want to ensure that your timeshare has ample running and walking space and nearby access to outdoor activities like hiking, swimming and/or dog-parks. You may also want to ensure that the resort offers amenities like pet-sitting and grooming services. Some resorts even run "spas" for the pampered pooch.
Practical Issues
Then there are more practical issues to take into consideration, such as whether or not the timeshare you're interested in imposes weight-limits or breed restrictions. Many resorts will also limit the number of pets you're allowed to bring each time, so if you've got more than one furry-friend you'll want to find a resort that will accommodate the whole family.
Save Thousands With Resale
If you are serious about purchasing accommodations for both you and your pet, you might want to consider purchasing your timeshare on the resale market. Because pet-friendly resorts often incur extra expenses (like cleaning service, pet-sitting and insurance or liability issues) they're often more expensive than resorts that don't' accommodate pets. That means that, when buying directly from the resort, you'll be paying inflated prices. Individuals selling timeshare, on the other hand aren't interested in making money for the resort, so will often drastically reduce the price in resale. You can also find great timeshares for rent on the resale market.
If you're like most pet owners, your furry-friend is also a member of your family. It's only right to include him in the annual trip and with pet-friendly timeshares, you can.
