Man’s best friend can put a crimp in man’s leisure time. TripAdvisor.com recently surveyed registered users and found that 38% shorten vacations, 29% take fewer trips and 13% have chosen to forgo a journey because of pets. Dog lovers, the hotel industry feels your pain. So to the kennel-or-sitter quandary, it offers this solution: doggie bed?
