Savannah Georgia
This product was recommended by Erin Clarkson from Savannah First-Timer
Savannah is easily one of the most dog-friendly cities in the South! Savannahians love their pups, and that means numerous businesses in the city cater to pet-owners. Most restaurants offer dog bowls and fresh water for guests seated outdoors with their dogs, and they also offer umbrellas for shade. (In fact, it’s easier to list the ones that don’t do this than to list the many that do!) The city also has parks where you can take your dog for exercise or to meet other pet owners. Forsyth Park is the most popular. Daffin Park has a fenced-in area where dogs can roam freely and play with other dogs off-leash. Wormsloe Historic Site, aka: Savannah’s famous tree-lined drive, has miles of shaded walking trails where you can exercise with your dogs while enjoying the scenery of a beautiful maritime forest. Finally, many of the walking tours are pet-friendly, so you can take your dog with you while you learn about the history or beautiful architecture of Savannah. One or two of the trolley tours are pet-friendly, as well.
Thousand Oaks, California
This product was recommended by Kerri Caughill from The Dog Tale
With the Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Monica on one side, and bustling Los Angeles on the other, Thousand Oaks, CA, is a beautiful destination both you and your dog are sure to enjoy. Thousand Oaks is pure, Southern California country, with rolling hills, picturesque vineyards, and miles of open trails for running, hiking, and mountain biking. My dog, Max, loves going for runs in the hills every evening, even on the days when he doesn’t spot a rabbit to chase down. Bonus points if you manage to visit shortly after one of the region’s few annual rainfalls—for a little while, the endless golden hills become emerald green.
