Pet Hotel Hygiene Standards: Evaluation Guide

Hygiene is the most important factor in preventing illness after hotel stays.

The Smell Test (Most Reliable)

When you enter a pet hotel:

• Clean facility: Slight animal smell, fresh air
• Acceptable: Mild urine smell that dissipates
• Warning: Strong ammonia = inadequate cleaning
• Leave immediately: Fecal smell, strong chemical smell masking odors
