Talk to Your Vet

The first step before flying with your pet is to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to make sure your dog is fit and healthy to fly. If you get the go-ahead, make another appointment close to your departure date. Some airlines require a health certificate issued within 10 days of your flight.

Know Where Your Dog Will Be Seated

In the event that your dog can’t travel in the cabin with you, the airline will seat your pet in the cargo. That can be a stressful experience, so it’s important to keep your dog’s comfort a priority. Inquire about the temperature control in the cargo unit, and outside too. If your dog is elderly or has health issues, it’s necessary that they sit in the cabin.

Acclimate Your Dog to the Carrier

If you plan on moving your dog around in a carrier, purchase it in advance and start getting your pet used to the space. To help your dog develop a positive association with the carrier, feet them in for several weeks leading up to your flight.

So, when you get to your destination, how can you keep both Fido and yourself happy? Here are some great plans that both canines and humans will enjoy.

Visit the Beach

Any destination next to the ocean will offer up beaches for you to explore with your dog. Whether it’s soaking up rays in the summertime and going for a walk, or getting some exercise and enjoying the views in cool weather, you will both love this experience.

Have a Drink Outside

Fortunately, these days, most eating and drinking establishments are pet-friendly when it comes to sitting outside. So, why not spend some time letting your pup take in the sights and smells of a city while you relax and have a beer on a patio?

Explore the Parks

Urban parks have had a renaissance lately, with more and more cities pumping resources and attention into their green spaces. Not only will visiting a city park grant you a reprieve from the craziness of sightseeing and traveling, but it will also afford your pooch the opportunity to stretch its legs.

1. Scottsdale, Arizona

The sunny weather plays a big role in making Scottsdale the #1 dog-friendly city in the USA, but the overall friendliness and mid-size city make it even nicer. Loaded with dog-friendly parks and trails, and plenty of vets, this city is number 1- just be careful of the hot pavement in the summer!

2. Orlando, Florida

Orlando hosts the yearly American Kennel’s Club national championship which brings the city some dog fame. Along with the good weather most of the year, Orlando is also tied for first with other cities for the most dog-friendly restaurants and vets per capita.

3. Austin, Texas

It’s no surprise that another sunny city rounds out the top 3, being that both dogs and owners are more willing to go out when the weather is good. Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in America and has many great parks and greenery to go along with being tied with Orlando for the most dog-friendly restaurants per capita.

Comfort

It’s really important that your dog is comfortable during the trip, even if it’s not for very long. Try your best to make room for him or her in the car so they don’t feel too cramped and act out. Also, if your dog has special toys or stuffed animals, make sure you bring them. Being in the car is totally out of their comfort zone so it’s important to make them feel safe.

Breaks

Of course, your dog will need to talk a bathroom break every so often during the trip. But, if you can, try to plan the bathroom breaks around human breaks as well. Use it to get some snacks or a meal, or to stop and see something like a special site or museum along the way to your final destination! Also, research restaurants that will let you bring your dog in or onto the patio if it’s a nice day so you can all bond!

Asheville, North Carolina

Asheville is known for many things, including being home to tons of breweries, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and being extremely dog-friendly! Everything from bars, restaurants, breweries, and of course, hiking and walking trails, are all places your pup is welcome!

The original hipster city, Portland is super great for dogs. There’s even a restaurant called the Tin Shed Garden Cafe where there’s a human and dog menu!
