When a visiting celebrity's tiny dog was having a ruff time (ouch!) hopping up on the star's hotel bed, the tender-hearted staff at Yorkville's Four Seasons Hotel reportedly worked some DIY magic, putting together a set of pink-painted stairs to help the pup get up. Other hotels get pet-related special requests too, from having a particular brand of dog kibble flown in, to finding a licensed pet masseuse to perform a relaxing in-room dog massage. If you're thinking about bringing your faithful companion along on your next visit to Toronto, Curbed has put together a selection of hotels that will welcome your pet with open arms (and a lint roller).
