Pet Friendly Travel

Basenji Talk
  • Hi!
    Last year my husband and I took our two with us on our …. get this....ANNIVERSARY! Yes we did. Why not? they are with us in the bed, why not celebrating our anniversary. Anyway, we live in Southern California and last year we went to Cambria. Cambria is known for their wineries and many of their wineries are doggie friendly.

    This year (May) we are staying at Cambria Pines Lodge and then traveling to Santa Barbara where we'll be staying at Fess Parker. I'll keep you posted as how our stays went and let you know how the lodge fared. Fess Parker is a 5 star hotel and we've stayed there before and their service was excellent!

  • While not a place to stay, if you find yourself driving down I-65 near Montgomery AL (say to the Panhandle), the Peach Park is a great stop to stretch your legs. We traveled down with the kids and the dogs. They have a nice little walking trail, playground and a large grassy area to tie-down your B. Oh, plus some pretty darn good BBQ and cobbler! Peach Park is right off of the interstate.

  • There's a couple of resorts in Ocean City Maryland that we've got reservation for next summer Atlantic Resort and The Waves. I love the beach & looking forward to this place.

    We're also going to Hilton Head in Sept where they have not explicity said NO PETS so I'm hoping the "barkless" dogs stay true to form :)

    This will be a very useful thread for those of us who just can't part from the furbabies :D

  • My husband and I honeymooned in Carmel, CA with our basenji Nicky. Carmel is a very dog friendly town. They have a beach that allows dogs and many dog friendly hotels. The place we stayed we had our own little cabin at the top of the hill leading to the beach. They would bring us breakfast and Nicky a dog biscuit every morning. There were also restaraunts that had special seating for dogs and even had a dog menu.

  • Do you know of any pet friendly hotels, Bed and Breakfast, restaurants or other animal friendly places? Please post them here, if we get enough of a response going for this thread hopefully it will get its own thread and our B's will get to see more of the world!

  • Very cool Bed and Breakfast that my husband and I have reservations for in June. The resort has a dog park, doggie day care, hiking and fun stuff for humans like Golfing packages and Massage packages. We plan on doing the Canoe outing with the dogs.

    the problem boils down to this... what will you do if one leg refuses to let your pet continue? What will happen if you depend on them not checking something and then they check and your dog is grounded? I would like to say that we check several airlines before moving to Israel and many of them would allow a small enough dog I E. our basenji, in the cabin but they limited the number of pets most of them at around 3 per cabin and they would say that if someone flying who was allergic then your dog or pet had to go in the hold so you didn't really know till you got there. We were lucky to have 2 pets that could be next to each other and they both just sort of chilled and even though it was a hellish flight neither of them seemed at all stressed or bothered and we were able to keep them with us until they actually took them to put on the plane and pick them up almost immediately on landing. I just think unless you're moving the best thing for your pet is to find a way to leave it at home. If you must take the pet then you may be better off paying the extra to have a professional pet travel agency take over all the responsibility and fly your pet for you which unfortunately doesn't usually include in the cabin. I never had an issue flying puppies to their new homes in the cabin with their new owners.

    I use a car harness with My isZi because if I don't she wants to sit on my shoulders and it makes it very hard to drive. I have no idea why she wants on my shoulders even if I'm sitting at the desk on the computer she thinks she has to be on my shoulders. I guess because her ancestor's were carried that way?

    Sharron! Thanks! I'll look for a copy of the book. My family hikes a bit, but haven't taken the dogs out yet. LOL, we're always prepared to have to carry a kid back, so a dog should not be a problem. ;-) Please tell Teriann thank you also.
