FINDING PET
-
FRIENDLY HOTELS AND
MOTELS WHEN YOU
NEED ONE
!—
Many pet owners have awakened to
the fact that the more they involve a
pet in their lives, the greater the
rewards. Today it's not at all unusu-
al for a pet to be included in the
family's vacation plan, rather than
be left behind wearing a long face
in some kennel. With this in mind,
Pet Master provides you with:
1. Names, addresses and phone
numbers of pet motels across the
US and Canada, and
2. Names, addresses and phone
numbers of hotels in major metro-
politan centers where you and your
pet will be welcomed.
To find a pet-friendly hotel or motel
when you need one, scroll the main
menu with the
UP
or
DOWN
but-
tons, then press
ON
/
ENTER
to select
“
HOTELS & MOTELS
.” Next
choose between hotels or motels,
and Canada or the United States.
Hotels are listed by city, motels by
province or state and then alphabet-
ically by town. Hotels are listed as
Deluxe, First Class, Moderate, and
Economy to indicate price cate-
gories.
