[quote=Anonymous]We are dog owners. I don't think it's rude to let them know the dogs aren't welcome. Just give them plenty of time to arrange boarding. Most places book several weeks in advance (or more, if a holiday weekend). The only time we had trouble was when my inlaws decided last minute that they have a new no-dogs rule at their vacation home. We had about a week's notice for 4th of July weekend. We wound up boarding our dog at the only available place we could find, which was available because it was a shit hole. I second guessed myself, and felt worried and anxious the whole weekend (dh insisted it would be fine, and it was ok, but we'll never board there again).

Also, your inlaws not only need extra planning to make sure their dogs are up to date on vaccinations, but some boarders require dogs to have been vaccinated a certain amount of time before allowing them to stay.

Otherwise, just let them make their own arrangements (hotel/kennel/dog sitter) how they see fit. You really don't need to feel guilty about saying no to the dogs.
