Traveling has always been my thing. 

When I became a dog mom more than ten years ago my perspective on travel changed, and dog-friendly travel became my entire personality because I couldn’t imagine visiting all of these wonderful places without my furry adventure buddy. 

This blog chronicles all of our dog-friendly adventures through photo diaries and curated destination guides designed to help you plan similar adventures with your dog. From California gems to road-tripping around the U.S. and even venturing into Canada, we've got you covered for the best dog-friendly travel experiences, stays, restaurants, and more.
