Hotels Accepting Large Dogs Reach Niche Market

Knoxville, TN - September 28, 2006 - Hotels that accept large dogs are reaching their niche market and are edging out their competitors that have strict weight limits. According to a recent surveys, nearly 48% of travelers with pets travel with pets over 31 pounds. 34% of those surveyed travel with dogs over 50 pounds. Hotels are quickly realizing this untapped market and are adjusting weight limits to coincide with the growing market for large dog accommodations.

BigDogsWelcome.com, a new Web site, makes it easy for hotels to display their large dog friendliness. Travelers can not only view which hotels accept dogs, but they can instantly see if a hotel will accept a larger dog. Along with detailed information about the pet policies and weight restrictions, BigDogsWelcome.com also displays photos and lists amenities. Steve Davis, BigDogsWelcome.com spokesperson states, "Anyone with a big dog knows how hard it is to find a pet friendly place to stay that doesn't just allow your dog, but actually welcomes your dog. We're trying to simplify things for travelers."
