Hyatt Regency Scottsdale has tried to anticipate any needs by making "pet amenities" available.
Upon arrival, a special welcome letter is given to the "pet guest" from Uno, the resort's 4Paws Pet Ambassador.

A custom-made "Comfy Bed" by Labor of Love Beds awaits. These beds are avail able for purchase with the proceeds from the sale benefiting the Arizona Humane Society and animal rescue or ganizations of Arizona. Feline guests receive a welcome toy, food and water dishes, litter box and scoop, along with a "Comfy Bed" for them also!
