DOG-FRIENDLY CITIES

TO VISIT IN AMERICA

By Jessica McLean

Looking to hit the road with your favorite furry pal this season? When it comes to vacationing with your dog, it’s important to keep key destination factors in mind like number and location of dog parks, city walkability, access to greenways and prevalence of dog-friendly restaurants, shops, hotels, and vacation rentals. And don’t forget the weather! Muddy feet and smelly, wet fur can quickly have you hitting the ‘paws’ button on your vacation. For sunny dry spots full of dog-friendly features, head west to the likes of Tucson, Arizona and Albuquerque,

New Mexico where public parks, scenic desert views, and hiking trails are plentiful. If the splash of salt water on a sandy beach is more your forté, try San Diego, California and take your pup for a strut on the boardwalk or attend the annual Surf Dog

Surf-a-Thon. Stick around the Golden State and hop over to San Francisco which boasts over 170 dog-friendly restaurants as well as high walkability scores according to SmartAsset’s 2018 National Pet Owners Survey.

If you are traveling down south, no dog-accompanied vacation would be complete without a stop in Austin, Texas where dog-friendly
