The XL Escapes Peace of Mind Promise
Every business listed on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies.
Before being listed, we ask the questions we’d want answered ourselves — including whether their details are accurate, whether they welcome XL Bullies, and whether they’ve reviewed their own legal and insurance responsibilities.
And if a listed business ever turns you away purely because of your dog’s breed?
Tell us.
We’ll remove the business from XL Escapes and refund your membership fee.
Because if a business says they welcome XL Bullies, they need to stand by it.
