If you love to travel and hate to leave your pooch at home, the dogfriendly.com Web site is for you. It will help you find everything from lodging that welcomes your canine friends to outdoor gear they can wear hiking or boating. The city guides will help you find dog-friendly attractions, stores, parks, beaches, and restaurants in cities across the nation as well as Canada.

Last time I was in Florida I visited a dog-friendly beach and found it fun and entertaining. So I was really pleased to see dogfriendly.com’s extensive list of dog beaches. The site even provides the pet owner with etiquette suggestions as well as ideas on how to make sure your pet has a safe and enjoyable time.

This Web site is a dog-lovers dream with outstanding information on traveling with your pet. Of course, you’ll also find plenty of doggy links and dog photos, but the true value of this Web site is in its abundant information on traveling with man’s best friend.
