Dog FoodFrench Lick Resort Dog Friendly Review
French Lick Resort holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why dog owners rate it so well. The resort offers a dedicated dog space and a garden your dog may use, alongside green spaces and parks nearby for exploring. Dogs are welcome on the terrace and patio and in the lounge, giving you plenty of options for relaxing together, and the resort offers dog friendly activities to keep your dog entertained during the stay.
Inside the room you will find a dog bed along with real food and water bowls, and the resort offers dog food for sale and free treats as a welcome touch. Staff provide guidance on walking routes and give guests poop bags, which makes getting out and about straightforward, and an emergency vet number is kept on hand for peace of mind. Your dog may stay in the room on its own as long as it is in a crate or travel carrier. The hotel shares its pet policy before booking, and the dog fee is 150 dollars, with no damage deposit required, which makes the overall cost reasonable for what is on offer.
There are some restrictions to plan around: only some rooms are dog friendly rather than the whole property, and a weight limit of 60 lbs applies, with up to two dogs allowed per room. The hotel does not provide a dog wash or shower area, and dogs are not allowed in the bar or restaurant, so mealtimes and grooming will need to be managed elsewhere. This stay suits an owner with a smaller or medium sized dog who wants a resort setting with genuine outdoor space and a relaxed lounge atmosphere. Owners travelling with a larger dog, or who need on-site grooming or washing facilities, should look elsewhere.
