I sure am! I have some great tips on how to take care of your dog while on a Disney World vacation, as well as where to shop to spoil them!<\/p>\n<h3>Bring Them to Your Resort<\/h3>\n<p>The beautiful thing is that Disney World now allows dogs to stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/pet-accommodations-walt-disney-world\/\">select resort hotels!<\/a> If I didn\u2019t live so far away, I would absolutely love to do this. Coming back to my fur baby in my room would make a magical trip, even more magical! The only thing is I would feel bad about leaving her alone all day while I enjoy the parks. If you\u2019re able to\/want to bring your dog along, the dog friendly resort hotels include;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/art-of-animation\/rates\/\">Art of Animation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/port-orleans-riverside\/\">Port Orleans &#8211; Riverside<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/yacht-club\/rates\/\">Yacht Club<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/resort-hotels\/faq\/fort-wilderness\/rates\/\">Fort Wilderness<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As with anything, there are always restrictions with these dog-friendly resorts. There is a limit of 2 dogs per room, and the dog must be well behaved &amp; leashed in public areas. The majority of the resorts do remain dog-free to accommodate guests with allergies. Keep in mind, only service dogs are allowed in the parks &amp; restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there is a fee to have your dog in the rooms, which ranges from $50-$75 per night.<\/p>\n<p>Your furry friend will even get a Pluto&#8217;s Welcome Kit, which includes a mat, bowls, a pet ID tag, disposable plastic bags, puppy pads, and dog walking maps. As well as a special \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d door hanger so people know a dog is present.<\/p>\n<p>Dogs are allowed to roam freely in the rooms, permitted they do not cause damage. Any damage caused by your canine friend, is subject to a room charge upon checkout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2018\/10\/favorite-walt-disney-world-memory\/art-of-animation-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-63977\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-63977 size-full\" title=\"dog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/art-of-animation.jpg\" alt=\"dog\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/art-of-animation.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/art-of-animation-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestfriendspetcare.com\/location\/waltdisneyworldresort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Friends Pet Care<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that Disney has it\u2019s own kennel on property? Affectionately called Best Friends Pet Care, the kennel is located on Bonnet Creek Drive. They offer boarding &amp; doggy day camp. They even offer grooming &amp; training!<\/p>\n<p>Best Friends Pet Care is considered more of a pet hotel, where your pet will enjoy a crate free stay. If your dog plays well with others, they will have a day full of fun in the doggy pool &amp; yard with their friends. If your dog is more independent (like mine) they can enjoy the comfort of their own space, with lots of one on one attention &amp; private walks.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing ranges from $47-$109 per day. The high end, provides your dog a private room, flatscreen TV (yes, you read that correctly), PetChatz webcam, bedtime story &amp; a Go-Home-Fresh shampoo bath if their stay is longer than 3 days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/caring-for-your-dog-on-a-disney-vacation\/best-friends-pet-care-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-76836\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76836 size-full\" title=\"dog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-friends-pet-care-2.jpg\" alt=\"dog\" width=\"600\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-friends-pet-care-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-friends-pet-care-2-400x275.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to board them, no problem! Maybe they are staying at your resort, but you don\u2019t want them alone in the day.

Seriously-it seems like quite the spot for them to live in luxury!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/caring-for-your-dog-on-a-disney-vacation\/best-friends-pet-care\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-76837\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76837 size-full\" title=\"dog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-friends-pet-care.jpg\" alt=\"dog\" width=\"600\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-friends-pet-care.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-friends-pet-care-400x211.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Dogsitter\/Doggy Daycare<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve left your doggy home, there\u2019s likely lots of options for in home pet sitters or doggy daycare locally. Familiarize yourself, schedule meet &amp; greets &amp; choose someone who best suits your needs!<\/p>\n<p>While I do have lot of family who can visit Nala, my girl is a very co-dependent dog who doesn\u2019t enjoy being without her humans. She doesn\u2019t do well with other dogs, so my only option is an in-home pet sitter. On my recent trip, I had someone stay with her for the first time ever.<\/p>\n<p>It was the absolute best decision. Nala was so comfortable, loves her sitter &amp; I was at ease the entire time. At the time, Nala had some medical complications that required some extra love &amp; care. I needed someone I could trust. My sitter did just that. I will never travel without working a sitter into my budget &amp; plans now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/caring-for-your-dog-on-a-disney-vacation\/dog-sitter\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-76838\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76838 size-full\" title=\"dog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-sitter-e1583712369567.jpg\" alt=\"dog\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-sitter-e1583712369567.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-sitter-e1583712369567-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Monitor\/Security Camera<\/h3>\n<p>Another thing you can do if you\u2019ve left your dog home, set up a monitor or security camera, if you haven\u2019t already. Most of these cameras link to an app on your phone, so viewing your furry friend is right at your fingertips!!<\/p>\n<p>I have an app called Dog Monitor. This is actually a free app, that I have on an old iPod &amp; on my iPhone. They sync using bluetooth &amp; I can see live photos of Nala! The quality is not great, but it puts my mind at ease, especially when I travel.<\/p>\n<p>You could also invest in a Furbo or PetChatz, but any security camera will do the trick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/caring-for-your-dog-on-a-disney-vacation\/dog-monitor\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-76831\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76831 size-full\" title=\"dog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-monitor.png\" alt=\"dog\" width=\"337\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-monitor.png 337w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-monitor-225x400.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>List of Helpful Friends &amp; Family<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a friend, family member, or dog sitter staying with your dog, make sure you leave a list of helpful friends &amp; family who can help, should your main sitter become sick or need assistance. It always helps to have a backup plan!<\/p>\n<h3>Leave Something with Your Scent<\/h3>\n<p>Leaving a shirt, sweater or pillow with your scent, can really help ease any anxiety your dog may have. Make sure it&#8217;s something you&#8217;ve worn recently or frequently, and lay it on their dog bed!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/caring-for-your-dog-on-a-disney-vacation\/dog-scent\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-76839\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76839 size-full\" title=\"dog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-scent-e1583712411444.jpg\" alt=\"dog\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-scent-e1583712411444.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dog-scent-e1583712411444-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Shopping Time!<\/h2>\n<p>Ok, now that your dog\u2019s care is taken care of while you\u2019re away, lets talk about places to shop to spoil your dog while at Walt Disney World!<\/p>\n<h3>Happy Hound<\/h3>\n<p>Located in Disney Springs, this specialty store is full of bandanas, outfits, toys, leashes &amp; personalizable tags, there\u2019s something for every pup here!
