In a world of pet friendly hotels who are all trying to attract the same lucrative dog traveler segment, good dog friendly hotels can struggle to punch through the noise.  We help our members differentiate themselves in a cluttered and confusing pet friendly space, adopt the right language to appeal to dog owners willing to spend a premium on good dog friendly hospitality, and bring them into line with good canine inclusivity and operational best practices. 

We help hotels master the art of being dog friendly. The hotel and wider hospitality industry likes to brand itself pet friendly, but the words pet friendly do not really mean anything, most hotels do not allow cats, and the vast majority of travelers want to stay with their dog.  We represent genuinely dog friendly hotels focused on travelers with dogs, who offer services, facilities, and amenities geared towards dogs and their owners when they travel. If your hotel aspires towards dog friendly excellence, canine inclusivity, and operational best practice, then consider joining the DFHA, the world's oldest international dog friendly hotel association, and its hotel members internationally, to help us move the hotel industry away from the words 'pet friendly', and into a more dog friendly and canine inclusive future.
