Dog Friendly Vacations
These Trips Are For the Dogs
If Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have taught us anything (besides the importance of wearing underwear), it's that pets are people too. Well, since Brit and Paris are probably not the best parents, let's look to Oprah as our role model. She takes her pups everywhere and you can too. Here are a few destinations we think are Best in Show.
Reno flights hotels cars Take your outdoorsy dog to Lake Tahoe for fresh air and lots of exercise. While many California parks ban your four-legged friend from hiking trails, Northstar and many other Tahoe ski resorts welcome pets on designated trails. We recommend Grass Lake Meadow or Echo Lakes Trail. While you can walk your pooch anywhere, in Lake Tahoe, you can take him rafting down the Truckee River. Too much adventure? How about a leisurely swim at Kiva Beach or Taylor Creek. Tahoe also has a long list of qualified pet sitters to keep your friend occupied if you want some solo time.
New York flights hotels cars Is your dog more city than country? New York cannot be overlooked as one of the most dog friendly cities in the world. You'll fit right in with the locals who take their dogs everywhere including grocery stores, boutiques and cabs. Of course, their dogs are wearing doggie-sized designer duds and jewelry nicer than anything you'll ever own. Central Park is of course a must see and Jemmy's Run in Union Square is THE place to pee and be peed on. Most hotels including Crowne Plaza, Embassy Suites, Westin and the oh-so glamorous Soho Grand will welcome your pets with open paws and complimentary doggie amenities.
San Diego flights hotels cars San Diego continuously makes the list for one of the most dog and kitty-friendly cities around. There's plenty of off-leash beaches and parks to keep you busy. Try out Dog Beach and Fiesta Island to start your vacation. Take a stroll through Old Town State Historic Park and dine together at one of the many outdoor cafes and restaurants. Next, head over to the historic gold rush town of Julian to take in some mountain scenery and then the wine country of Temecula. No doggie wine tasting allowed. If you're interested in seeing Sea World, they offer kennels for as little as $5 a pet (Shamu-size pets extra).
Seattle flights hotels cars Seattle not only offers a pet friendly vibe, but even allows well-behaved pets on the public buses, trains and ferries. Relax at Warren G. Magnuson Park, Seattle's biggest fully-fenced back yard. This nine-acre site includes a winding trail, with several open areas and a pig pool, aka Lake Washington. Explore the shops, cafes, fish market, and culture at Pioneer Square and the Sculpture Garden. Finish off your trip with a visit to Washington Park Arboretum and a ride on Blake Island Adventure Cruise.
