Speaking as (1) a childless person who is obsessively protective of my cats' day-to-day quality of life, and (2) a person with severe health issues that need to be accommodated sometimes, no, do not tell the pet owner that their pets aren't important, and no, don't tell the parent that medication is better than adapted environments if they don't want medication. This is not a question of who to save from a house fire, this is a question of lodging. Visit a little less often to save the money to pay for a Comfort Inn.
