PETS WELCOMED!

This phrase means a great deal: All significant family members can share the experience of the Stanford Inn. We have always traveled with our dogs, Murphy and Ellie, and welcome your friends here.

Over the years we have had a variety of non human visitors: dogs and cats, of course, but also iguanas, parrots, Vietnamese pot belly pigs, and a tortoise. Pets stay for a modest charge.

If yours is a dog, you'll find a welcoming treat, stainless steel food and water dishes, "dog sheets" to protect the furniture so that your friend can join you, and Intelligent Products pick-up bags and more.

Llamas
Horses
And Dogs!

A FEW BASIC RULES AND NOTES OF IMPORTANCE

• Our rules are simple. Please do not leave your pet unattended in your room without letting us know in case he or she is uncomfortable in new surroundings. We have had doors chewed and badly scratched.

• Guests have taken care of damage, but the issue is that their pets were unhappy. We find that dogs are most happy accompanying their owners when exploring the area. Our weather is cool and with windows left open, no harm should come to them if you leave them in your car when your are off the property.

• We ask that guests pick up after their dogs and provide stations with bags and trash receptacles throughout the property.

By the way, well behaved dogs are welcome in our lobby but not our dining room. If you would like breakfast or dinner to be served in the lobby, we are happy to accommodate you.

• Good etiquette assures that all guests will have an enjoyable stay. If you need anything special from veterinary services to pet sitters, and special foods, just ask and we will happily accommodate.

•Cats are not great travelers, however some are accustomed to traveling and are very comfortable in their carriers. Two guests brings two Mexican hairless cats in wheeled carriers who accompany them and their white German shepherd.

• Please remember to keep your pets on a leash. Ellie and Murphy are off leash to greet guest dogs and their friends.

• All our domestic animals have little choice about where they are and how we treat them. We know this and, here, animals come first. We care about their health and well being and there are some who are older and infirm and checked daily.

• When you are exploring the Inn and its ten acres, you'll find our horses, Scooter, a bay. and Storm. a pinto; three very elderly and three juvenile llamas. The Inn is also home to many cats, raccoons, ducks, deer, opossums, Stellar Jays, Ravens, skunks, and a variety of song birds.

• You might find a seagull, pigeon on other animal being rehabilitated.

• For your pets, we supply bowls for food and water, litter bags, a treat, covers to protect furniture and bedding.

• There is a $45.00 charge per stay, for the first pet. Additional pets are $22.50.

Please Note: We avoid treats that will disturb your pet's digestion and do not offer a "special menu" for dogs. Special menus can be upsetting. We make our dog treats using only organic sweet potatoes which have been well received by our pet visitors, literally and figuratively. We can provide steamed vegetables if your dog is on a special diet. Dog beds are available on request but suggest that if your pet has a favorite bed or blanket that you bring that with you. Pets are more comfortable with their own beds and their customary diets.
