Dog Friendly Hotels in Miami Beach

Considering taking your precious pooch with you for your wedding?   Maybe you even want them in your wedding but you’re not sure which resorts will accomodate your requests.  Well here are a couple of excellent hotels that not only allow pets but they pamper them too.

The Loews Miami Beach Hotel

The Loews Miami Beach Hotel

This upscale luxury hotel welcome all dogs of all sizes as long as they are “well behaved”.  In fact they have a program “Loews Loves Pets” that welcomes him/her with special treats, a Loews tag & bowl.  And check out their room service menu for pets!  How cool!!  They are happy to  show you several dog walking routes, so your pet can get some exercise, as well as, refer groomers and vets if needed.  They also have beds available if needed.  And their fee for all this attention is only $25. per stay.  Definitely pet friendly.

Mayfair Hotel & Spa

 The Mayfair is a chic boutique in the Coconut Grove area of Miami.  They are allow up to two pets per room and only charge a flat rate of $25.  They have pet amenities such as a pet bed, pet lounging mat, bottled water with bowl for your little friend & the ‘Mayfair’ biscuits.  Another great resort to consider when planning your destination wedding in Miami.

Pet Travel Requirements for Italy

Recently I photographed a wedding in Venice, Italy and one of the factors that made it interesting was she chose to bring her dog along. So this got me wondering, what were the requirements for bringing your pet to a destination wedding or honeymoon in Italy? Do pets have their own passport or is it simply a vaccine certificate?  Well here is what I discovered at The Italian Tourism Board for US and Canadian brides:

  • A valid european community vet certificate - issue date not to exceed 30 days prior to departure and valid for 4 months
  • A valid rabies vaccine
  • The pet must have a tattoo or micro chip
  • And of course a travel carrier

The certificate forms are available from the Italian Consulate if your vet does not have them. This form is equivalent to the EU Pet Passport which also allows you to travel between EU countries. Happy travels!
