So, you are starting to think about your spring break plans. Guess what? Your pets want in on the action. Yes, just like you they love an adventure and change of scenery. Life is best explored, and they want to see all the sights and sounds that you get to enjoy vacationing. Give your pet a break too.
You will have to do some research before because some hotels or vacation rentals do not allow pets. They may also have an extra charge for pets. This may seem unreasonable to you but pet hair, as you know, is a bit of a nuisance to clean up. Since hotels and vacation rentals accommodate different people, they also must consider those with pet allergies. Do not worry! There are a lot of pet friendly places, but be sure to factor in some additional costs when booking. We are sure you have wondered where are the best places to travel with dogs?

Take your dog to Dog Beach where they can frolic in the sun at the first official leash beach in Ocean Beach. Other must-see pet-friendly places for you and your pup are Petco Park and Cowles Mountain.

On this island, there are a lot of great pet-friendly cottages and vacation rentals. Keep in mind there will mostly be an additional fee for your pet per night.
- Vail: Some of you are not in a hurry to ward off winter or live in a state where you do not get to experience snow. Vail, Colorado is a popular destination during this time of year. It is also a pet-friendly destination. Hotels roll out the red carpet for your dog with in-house treats and dog food. Most rooms come with things you need to keep your dog comfortable and a plush dog bed. Many bars allow dogs on their patios, so you do not have to keep your dog couped up and alone while you dine. We think this is a great spring break for pets.
