Family travel can include even the furry and four-legged members. A recent KRC Research survey revealed 70 percent of Americans plan to travel this summer, with more than two-thirds of American pet owners citing mental health benefits as key reasons to bring pets along on trips. Hilton heeds that call, expanding its partnership with Mars Petcare, the world’s largest pet care company.
Hilton’s seven pet-friendly brands include Canopy by Hilton, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Tru by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton. The two now offer access to virtual support from the Mars Pet Expert Team with Mars PET On-Demand available at more than 4,600 hotels across the United States and Canada.
“We’re always looking to make a more welcoming world for pet parents and their pets, and the expansion of our partnership with Hilton to offer our services and expertise to guests at more than 4,600 hotels across North America is doing just that,” said Ikdeep Singh, global president, Mars Pet Nutrition. “We strive to make communities more pet-friendly so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a life with pets, and through this breakthrough collaboration, we’re proud to continue to find ways to make those benefits conveniently accessible even while traveling.”
Hilton guests can also access a special offer from Banfield Pet Hospital — a waived enrollment fee for new customers who purchase an Optimum Wellness Plan, which are packages of affordable, high-quality preventive veterinary services. To take advantage, ask for access to the Mars Petcare online service upon check-in.
Hilton’s pet-friendly hotels also offer amenities like bowls and waste bags.
