If you’re visiting from out of town or just want to stretch your legs and paws, here is an itinerary for Seattle to please your four-legged buddy. Seattle has many dog-friendly stores and parks to enjoy on a Sunday:
The air is cool so grab your leashed dog and enjoy the foliage as you both wind your way along the scenic routes that some of Seattle’s parks have to offer. Some favorite dog spots include:
- Washington Park Arboretum – with over 20,000 trees your dog’s senses will come alive. (more…)
An easy non-expensive weekend escape from New York City can be Philadelphia. Located only 100 miles south of Manhattan, Philadelphia has many dog-friendly activities to keep your pooch happy while you enjoy a break from The City.
What better way to enjoy the summer breeze than to go for a hike with your dog. Before you enter a park’s trail, make certain of the park’s dog rules. Some allow for off-leash hikes and be certain to pick up after your dog. If you are unfamiliar with the park’s trails, pick up a trail map or carry a portable GPS.
Here is a short list of some things that you may want to bring along to make your hike a more enjoyable and safer one: (more…)
Next time you book a flight with your dog, there will be no need to stress about putting her in cargo. Pet Airways is offering scheduled flights between New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver & Los Angeles. Dog owners will be relieved to read that this is the first airline to fly dogs (& cats) in their main cabin – no mater how big or small. Starting July 14th, dogs fly in the main cabin with frequent wee breaks throughout the flight and “pet attendents” will be on board to insure your pet is comfortable.
This summer when traveling by air, give your dog a quick break before both of you board the plane. Many US airports are making it easier to travel with your dog by providing “pet-relief” areas within airport terminals. These fenced areas have benches for you and fire hydrants with grass for your dog to enjoy. Just don’t forget to clean up after your pooch.
Hello Fido-Friends!
Summer is here and that means lots of trips to the park. Mom got this goofy idea on Sunday to put Sweetie & I in a pink stroller to go to Stuyvesant Park. I tried to hide behind Sweetie the whole way there. Actually I wasn’t too embarrassed once I noticed other dogs walking by panting and feeling uncomfortable from the heat. Come to think of it my sis & I were stylin’ in this stroller. We were comfy under the shade of the stroller’s visor with a nice breeze on us. (more…)
Some dog owners may not be so lucky to bring their furry buddies when they travel away from home this summer. Perhaps there’s a family emergency that requires you to leave on short notice or you’re planning a trip to Tahiti; here is a short list of how to go about finding a reputable boarding center for your dog.
- Once you’ve located a few overnight boarding facilities, make an unannounced visit to check on the cleanliness of the place, view the condition of the dog pens, and take note if dogs are happy.
This summer bring your dog along on family vacations. Don’t forget some essentials when packing. If traveling by car it’s important that your dog wear a harness and is secure in either a booster chair or back seat through the use of a seatbelt.
