The pet travel market is booming, with about $6 billion spent annually by the 30 million Americans who said they had traveled with their pets in the past three years. It’s no surprise that more and more places are welcoming furry travelers, who are very happy with this trend.
We’ll be visiting some of the pet friendliest destinations in the country, showcasing the best lodgings, restaurants, hiking and hanging-out spots, and offering pet travel tips. We’ll also be highlighting places in every city that are doing creative things to help animals. We hope you’ll help us find the best your hometown has to offer.
Our host, Kyra Batte, is a beauty queen, animal advocate, and smart cookie: She graduated from the University of Arizona with a psychology degree and has been a pet enthusiast from way back. She shares her home in Tucson with Kissy, a toy poodle, and Kujo, a shy Shih-Tzu Maltese mix, and can’t wait to travel around the country meeting fellow animal lovers.

Ready to hit the trail with your four-legged pal? You’d be surprised at how many nature trails won’t allow dogs. First things first -- find out if dogs are allowed and if so, confirm the park’s leashing requirements. Just like a responsible dog owner in the city, you’ll need to bring along doggie bags (or a spade) to clean up after your dog even in the woods. Remember to bring plenty of water and be sure to check for ticks after the hike. |
