California Dog Friendly Hotels

Basenji Talk

    Hi!
    We just came back from traveling with our two basenjis (Talker & Savannah). We went to Cambria, California and stayed at Cambria Pine Lodge in Cambria. This place was really lovely and very dog friendly. The hotel sits high above Cambria in a very woodsy area. There were lots of trails and pathways to walk your dogs and very pleasant garden settings. The rooms were nice and probably the rug could be cleaner. Our dogs came into the room and did a lot of sniffing around which tells me that they were picking up other dogs and pet stains. Savannah peed on one spot and I quickly got the spray cleaners out and worked at removing the stain. :o

    They have a nice setting for outdoor seating at their restaurant and heat lamps. Our dining experience was excellent. It was our 7th anniversary and what more of a romantic way to spend it.

    During the day we went on hikes and also drove to Paso Robles to the wineries where the wineries that we attended were dog friendly. Our two are very well behaved and quiet so they just sat and waited and sucked up all the attention they were getting.

    So if you're looking for a quick weekend stay, I would recommend the Cambria Pine Lodge in Cambria.

    We traveled down to Santa Barbara and stayed at Fess Parker. This is our second time staying at Fess Parker and although pricey, you do get a very nice room and service. I noticed that when we entered our room, the dogs only sniffed around a little and then stopped. That pretty much tells me that they really do a thorough cleaning. They also have outdoor dining and many of the places in Santa Barbara have outdoor seating and are very pet friendly. The dogs get lots of attention.

    I also was invited by some Dogster pals to meet in Santa Barbara where they took us to a very lovely trial about 10 miles from Fess Parker (15 minute drive) called Ellwood trails. This was a wide open area with not too many dogs or people. We were able to take a great walk in the late afternoon sun and really enjoy the scenery. The dogs had a blast and were totally exhausted when we got back to the hotel.

    We had a great time and really enjoyed spending our anniversary with our pups.

    Where is Cambria?

    I hope that our next duty station is in California, it sounds like it is more pet friendly there then here in Virginia. Thank you so much for the information!

    Cambria is located on the coast of California. It is north of Los Angeles and South of San Jose. Cities along the coast seem to be much more dog friendly. It's beautiful along the coast. Santa Barbara, Monterey, Carmel and Cambria are very dog friendly places to visit and very beautiful.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Picking them up would have probably worked in this situation because the other dog was small, but i couldn't think that fast as it was happening! but carrying some kind of spray sounds like a good idea, i am going to look for that at the pet store. Thanks again!

    It is good to hear that Las Vegas is pet friendly. I am going to Las Vegas this weekend for a dog show. We are actually staying in Hendersen in the Residence Inn which allows dogs and is close to the show grounds.
