Once upon a time, human travel plans meant lonely hours or unpleasant kennel stays for dogs but today they can go on vacations right alongside their non-canine companions. Here are your pooch’s top vacation picks for this summer:
Pooch Pick #1: Portland, Oregon
Portland may not be a hotspot for human summer travelers, but dogs adore its friendly atmosphere. For starters, they can enjoy the sighs and smells of a pub at the Lucky Lab Brewing Company. It’s not just a clever name – dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating areas with their human companions. To avoid getting a “beer gut” after the pub, your dog can enjoy any of the whopping 20 off-leash dog parks found throughout the city. And that’s just for starters – your dog can also take in many of the most popular Portland attractions right along with you, including hiking by the river, the Hoyt Arboretum, the Rose Gardens, and more.
Pooch Pick #2: Chicago, Illinois
Chicago is one of the hottest cities in the world for travel and fun, but it’s also one of the most dog-friendly cities in the United States. If your dog is an active traveler who loves the outdoors, Chicago offers ten off-leash parks and three beaches where your canine can mingle, enjoy outdoor activities, and have an incredibly good time. If your dog prefers a more relaxing vacation, then Chicago is perfect for him, too. You can take a boat ride from Navy Pier together, enjoy a horse and carriage ride around the city, or play in air-conditioned comfort at Of Mutts and Men, an indoor off-leash “playground” for pets and humans.
