This year I may have to bring my dog with me in order to go to Comic-con. I've already researched the pet-friendly hotels, but I was just wondering if any of you had brought your dog to SDCC? Did it hinder your experience?
If you do not want to worry about your pooch while you are at the con, may I advise you to take him to the kennels at Disneyland? You will have to pay a nominal fee, but they play with them, give them lots of love, feed and water them and all the good stuff. They are open really early and close really late every day.
I know where I live here are TONS of awesome boarding options for your dog. I'd look into a local place before dragging them to San Diego. Or even look into hiring a pet sitter to stay at your place. I do it all the time for people.
My dog is a weird case. She's not good around strangers at ALL, hence why it's hard for me to get a pet sitter/kennel her. I've stayed in hotels with her before and she was okay. I am concerned about her barking though. Last year I was back at the hotel every 4-5 hours at least (I didn't do any of the waiting in huge lines) because it was so close.
I suppose it'd also depend on where you're staying at. Westin Gaslamp Quarter is great for pet friendly that is close to the convention, but they are in the hotel lottery. So, if you're staying even further you'll have to take into account being away from the con even more.Could you find a small boarding place where your dog would have a lot of space but maybe is isolated from other dogs? ... If it's something you're worth doing, try it out. I know it's not ideal. But you may also want to spend a few one nighters at hotels in your area to kind of get your dog familiar with this type of setting. My parents did this with their dogs. And they would only be good for 1-2 hours at a time. Now they can leave the girls for 3-4 hours. Probably longer, but they choose not to. Call hotels and check on their policies about barking. I know some are strict.
