Hello! My wife and I are seriously considering the purchase of a timeshare, but want to be sure that our small to medium sized dog can vacation with us. Are their timeshare locations that are pet-friendly? And if so could someone point us in the right direction....Thx!

Wow or bow wow! Thats one lucky dog. We stayed at a Westin resort recently and they allowed pets. Time shares probably alllow this too .

Great question, dogsdoo. I was able to put together a list of many timeshare resort properties that are pet-friendly. The following list many be a bit 'dated', so I would encourage you to contact any timeshare resort of interest and inquire directly. I have noticed that vacationing with the family pet has become much more popular than it used to be so there could be many resorts who have decided to offer 'pet-friendly' units or policies since this list was compiled.

Wow, what a great list! Me, my husband and our beloved Bassett Hound 'Byron' have spent the past 10 years taveling via our timeshare and while we have experienced a little trouble locating resorts that would allow Byron to stay it has become much easier nowdays than 10 years ago. So, yes it's definitely possible much more common than it used to be.

G'day folks! You know, I never even considered bringing my fiance's pet Chiwawa when we vacation and we use a couple of the Silverleaf resorts mentioned for little weekend getaways that we take several tmes a year. We live in Texas and we love our timeshare mostly because of the Bonus Time option that came with it. My fiance is going to be sooo excited when I tell her that our dog is welcome...

Now that I think about it, I do recall seeing an older couple walking their Scottish Terrier a few times during our stay recently, but I guess I never put it together that they were guests of the resort.

Anyone know if there is a fee/security deposit or contract involved with brining your dog to a Silverleaf timeshare?

Hello Pet Lovers!

I contacted Silverleaf Resorts(Hill Country Resort Specifically) and inquired about their policy regarding pets. They charge a $55.00 'Pet Fee', require that your dog be leashed when walking the grounds and that you clean-up any mess left by your pet. There are no restrictions about the size or breed and no 'contract' or additional fees other than the One-Time $55.00 Pet-Fee, which is paid upon arrival.
