This Hotel Group Just Launched an Awesome New Program for Pet Owners

Some 85 million U.S. households now also contain an animal companion. To many, these aren't mere pets, but rather full-fledged members of the family. So, when it comes to travel, few people want to leave their furry friends behind. Lucky, IHG Hotels & Resorts sees this and is ready to accommodate.

In July, IHG Hotels & Resorts launched two exciting new additions to its deals lineup: A discounted pet rate, and a 3,000 IHG Rewards Bonus Points promotion at hundreds of hotels across the country.
