Some hotel chains allow people to bring their pets to stay in their hotel rooms, but what happens when someone with an allergy to dogs also wants a room? An article in the Seattle Times has shown that it is not always possible to be absolutely sure a room has had all allergenic fluff and hair removed, even with an expensive deep-clean. And the lingering presence of dog is enough to trigger an asthma attack in some people. Some hotels keep pet room separate from non-pet rooms, so it is worth making sure, if you have an allergy to pets, that you will be put in a room that has never had an animal to stay.
