Top 7 Dog-friendly Vacation Spots in the World

Traveling when you have a pet can be taxing, since the pet either has to be looked after while you are away, or carried, sometimes inconveniently, only to find that the place you want to visit has no provision for your pet. To avoid this, it's better to visit cities that are known for their pet-friendly facilities. Read on, to know more about such cities.

Did You Know?
The U.S. has the largest number of pets in the world. It has more than twice as many pet dogs as the next country on the list, Brazil.
Pet owners always have the quandary of making alternate arrangements for their bundles of joy while they are out having the time of their lives. Your sister is very charming about having your dog over, and the dog likes her as well, but you know your family will miss it when you are away, and more importantly, you know it will start pining after you after a few days―hours, in most cases. Many popular tourist destinations forbid pets, but there are also many that allow you to bring along your canine companion on the tour. Here's some more info about some of the best dog-friendly vacation spots all over the world. What makes these cities dog-friendly is that they have a variety of accommodation options and recreational activities for both yourself and your dog, as well as tourist attractions that allow dogs on their grounds.
The hotels mentioned below have a variable policy of accommodating pets. Most charge a surplus fee to house pets, or limit the number of animals or the weight of the animals in question. Call the hotel of your choice before making plans in order to know peculiar details.
