How to Ensure Your Pet Enjoys the Holidays While You Travel
The holiday season can be hectic. Between Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas gatherings, New Year’s plans, and all the travel in between, it’s a lot to juggle.
If you’re heading to Truckee or North Lake Tahoe for a winter getaway, your pet’s care needn’t be an extra stressor. Whether you’re bringing your dog along or planning some “humans-only” time, Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge helps make the holiday season easy for everyone.
Here’s how to keep your dog happy and cared for while you enjoy your holiday.
Book Early
Holiday boarding tends to fill up fast, particularly at a destination vacation spot as popular as North Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area.
Whether you’re booking an overnight stay or two or planning a few days of daycare, it’s best to reserve your dog’s spot early. That way, you’ll have one less thing to think about when your trip rolls around.
Keep Their Routine (Mostly) Intact
Even if your pet won’t be home, familiar touches can help them feel comfortable:
- Bring their usual food and feeding instructions.
- Send along any needed medications with clear directions.
- Share details about daily routines or behaviors.
At Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge, we welcome all the info you can provide. Our goal is to keep your dog relaxed, cared for, and feeling right at home.
Choose a Place Built for Pets
We’ve said it before, but not all so-called “pet-friendly” options are created equal. Hotels may allow dogs, but that doesn’t mean they’re a good fit—and that is especially true during the busy holiday season.
Restrictions, pet fees, and limited access can make things complicated. Leaving your dog alone in a hotel room while you hit the slopes or enjoy dinner is less than ideal.
Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge offers:
- 24/7 staff presence
- Private, cozy suites
- Indoor and outdoor play areas
- Options for group or solo enrichment
- Custom care from a team who really gets dogs
Your pet won’t be stuck waiting for you to come back. They’ll be having a holiday of their own.
Take Advantage of Daycare Options
Traveling with your dog? That doesn’t mean they have to tag along for every moment.
Need a break for holiday shopping? Want to ski for the day? Have a long dinner planned? Our pets probably don’t view the festivities in quite the same light that we do. Ensure they enjoy their holiday by dropping them off for daycare at Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge. Here, they’ll play, relax, and enjoy some attention while you do your thing, completely guilt-free.
Keep Stress Off the Packing List
The holidays can already be a little chaotic. Your pet’s care doesn’t have to be.
Boarding or daycare at Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge gives you flexibility, peace of mind, and a better overall vacation experience for every member of the family.
So whether you’re celebrating in Tahoe or heading out for a few days of snowy fun, make your pet’s holiday just as special as yours.
