Buster and Ty, your faithful pet travel correspondents here, with a look at pet friendly Washington, DC.
Buster: Independence Day is right around the corner, and long weekends are perfect for taking your dog on a road trip.
Ty: Washington, DC is not only an appropriate choice for the 4th of July, is also very pet friendly.
Buster: That’s true! From the White House, to the Lincoln Memorial, to the Washington Monument, to the Capital Building – dogs can see it all!
Ty: More importantly, there are great pet friendly restaurants and hotels in Washington.
Buster: Ty, you’re always worried about eating and sleeping – but I have to admit, there was so much to do that even I was pooped!
Ty: And that’s not all! In the outskirts of Washington you’ll find historical sites, a canine cruise on the Potomac River, and Arlington National Cemetery, among other pet friendly activities.
Buster: If you’re looking for a great place to visit with your dog, we highly recommend Washington, DC.
Thanks Buster and Ty, I always wanted to take my dog on vacation sadly we never got to go 🙁 I am looking forward to taking his little sister on one soon tho, we will defiantly hit up DC.
personally i think that SF, Ca is incredibly pet friendly! DC is ok but i’ve lived in both cities (still reside in DC) and SF is way friendlier! i hope DC catches up 🙂
The Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, VA, has a fun doggie happy hour twice a week. And there are a ton of great hiking spots, both in the city and surrounding VA and MD. Dogs are allowed on the Mall, Capitol grounds, and most outdoor memorial grounds, too.
baltimore is pretty dog friendly too. Restaurants allow pets in, my favorite is little havanna
